Key Responsibilities

• Lead solution architecture for government/public sector bids and delivery engagements, covering application, integration, data, security, and infrastructure domains.

• Define application modernization strategy and roadmap, such as: Rehost / replatform / refactor / replace options and decision criteria. Modularization, domain decomposition, API-first enablement, event-driven patterns. Cloud/hybrid designs, landing zone alignment, and migration waves.

• Produce architecture deliverables: solution blueprint, target state, transition state, integration design, security design, reference architecture, and architecture decision records.
• Ensure solutions align with government security and compliance needs (identity, access control, encryption, logging/audit, vulnerability management) and internal governance.
• Collaborate with commercial and delivery teams to create cost models (TCO/ROI), estimates, BOMs, and implementation plans that are realistic and competitive.
• Manage stakeholders across government users, IT teams, vendors, and subcontractors; communicate complex architecture decisions clearly to non-technical audiences.

• Microservices and integration: service boundaries, API gateway, messaging, and observability (logs/metrics/traces).
• Data modernization: schema/API changes, data migration strategy, data quality, performance tuning, and cutover/rollback planning.
• Security-by-design: threat modelling, secure SDLC, OWASP controls, secrets management, and compliance evidence preparation.
