We are seeking a mission-driven Solution Architect with broad technical experience designing secure, scalable, and practical technology solutions for federal government clients. This role requires the ability to understand complex mission and business challenges, assess technical requirements, and develop integrated solutions across multiple domains, including enterprise architecture, cloud modernization, cybersecurity, data, artificial intelligence, applications, and digital transformation.
The Solution Architect will serve as a bridge between client needs, contract requirements, technical capabilities, and delivery realities. This role is critical to shaping solution strategies that meet federal IT standards, align with agency missions, and can be executed by delivery teams. The Solutions Architect will also support capture and proposal efforts by developing technical approaches, solution roadmaps, implementation concepts, and architecture artifacts that strengthen RELI’s competitiveness, improve customer satisfaction, and support contract growth.
Key Responsibilities:
Client & Stakeholder Engagement
- Translate federal agency mission objectives, operational needs, and technical requirements into actionable solution designs.
- Engage with clients, acquisition teams, program managers, business development leads, capture teams, and technical SMEs to shape practical and differentiated solutions.
- Support capture and proposal activities, including technical volumes, solution narratives, architecture diagrams, oral presentations, and solution reviews.
Enterprise Architecture & Technical Strategy
- Design secure, scalable, and compliant enterprise solutions across a range of mission and technology domains.
- Develop solution architectures that integrate people, process, technology, data, security, and operational considerations.
- Align architecture designs with federal standards and frameworks, including FISMA, FedRAMP, NIST, RMF, Zero Trust, and agency-specific requirements.
Cloud Modernization & Migration
- Architect hybrid, cloud-native, and multi-cloud environments using platforms such as AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and other secure federal cloud environments.
- Assess current-state environments and recommend target-state architectures that improve scalability, resilience, security, usability, and mission performance.
- Ensure cloud solutions align with FedRAMP Moderate/High, agency-specific security controls, and operational requirements.
- Guide the design of full-stack applications, including frontend interfaces, backend services, and microservices-based architectures, ensuring scalability, security, and alignment with federal mission requirements.
Cybersecurity & Risk Management
- Integrate cybersecurity, privacy, and risk management considerations into solution architectures from the earliest stages of design.
- Partner with ISSOs, cybersecurity teams, infrastructure teams, and program leadership to ensure adherence to NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, RMF, Zero Trust, and agency-specific requirements.
- Support architecture reviews to identify technical, security, operational, and compliance risks.
Data Architecture & Governance
- Design data architectures that support secure, reliable, and mission-aligned access to enterprise information.
- Incorporate data governance, metadata management, data quality, lineage, access controls, and stewardship practices into solution designs.
- Ensure appropriate handling of CUI, PII, PHI, and other sensitive data in accordance with federal and agency-specific requirements.
Artificial Intelligence
- Develop AI-enabled solution concepts that align with client mission needs, data readiness, governance requirements, security expectations, and operational constraints.
- Support architectures for AI/ML, generative AI, agentic workflows, intelligent automation, decision support, and analytics solutions.
- Help clients assess where AI and automation can improve mission outcomes while ensuring solutions remain practical, compliant, secure, and aligned with federal guidance.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field
- Demonstrated experience supporting proposals, technical volumes, and compliance mappings
- 5+ years in enterprise or solutions architecture, with direct experience in federal government contracting
- 5+ years direct experience and demonstrable understanding of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services technology environment, programs and business priorities
- Hands-on experience designing solutions aligned with federal cybersecurity and data compliance requirements
- Strong technical expertise in cloud (AWS GovCloud, Azure Gov), NIST RMF, and enterprise data platforms
Preferred:
- Current security clearance (Secret or higher)
- Industry certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, CISSP, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, CCSP)
- Familiarity with procurement vehicles and government acquisition processes (e.g., GWACs, IDIQs, RFP responses)
