Solutions Architect (VA ESOM)

The Solutions Architect will contribute to the technical strategy and architecture of a large-scale federal enterprise IT program supporting critical government missions. Working within the data and technical architecture function, you will be assigned to a specific delivery pillar and collaborate with its team to define technical roadmaps, assess dependencies, and identify potential risks. You will support architecture discussions, document technical strategies, and contribute to program-level technical reviews. The role also offers opportunities to identify innovation initiatives and support proposals, white papers, and business development activities. Working under the guidance of senior technical leadership, you will progressively develop greater ownership and independence over your assigned domain. This fully remote opportunity combines enterprise IT architecture, technical collaboration, and continuous professional development in a mission-driven environment.
