- Review and direct work of Cloud Engineers and Developers with coding (mainly Terraform and Python), and cloud configurations.
- Mentor junior architects and engineers; establish reusable architecture standards across the practice.
- Navigate multi-agency, multi-vendor environments with competing constraints.
Required Skills/Experience:
- Minimum 15 years in enterprise technology — architecture, engineering, or technical consulting.
- 7+ years designing and delivering on AWS; working knowledge of Microsoft Azure.
- 3+ years client-facing solution architect or tech lead role in professional services.
- Demonstrated experience in regulated environments (FedRAMP Moderate, HIPAA, CJIS, IRS Pub 1075).
- State and local government experience — procurement cycles, compliance, public-sector IT realities.
- AI/ML practical experience (Bedrock, SageMaker, or equivalent; generative AI, RAG architectures).
- Application modernization — legacy to cloud-native (containerization, microservices, API-first).
- Data & analytics fluency — data lakes, analytics platforms, BI tooling.
- Strong communication — architecture documentation, executive presentations, proposal writing.
- Proficiency reviewing Python and Terraform.
- Multi-vendor delivery coordination (subcontractors, ISVs, client teams).
Desired Skills/Experience:
