GCP Solution Architect, Lead

The Opportunity:

When you’ve spent years designing systems that scale, secure data, and enable innovation, architecture becomes more than problem-solving—it becomes foresight. As a solutions architect, you understand how systems behave today and how they must evolve tomorrow.

As a GCP Solution Architect on our team, you’ll help federal clients design and deliver modern, cloud-native solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You’ll translate mission needs into secure, compliant architectures, lead cloud modernization initiatives, and guide development teams through successful delivery using GCP services and best practices.

Beyond delivery, you’ll serve as a technical leader—mentoring teams, shaping cloud strategy, and identifying opportunities to expand our cloud and digital modernization capabilities.
Work with us and build the future of technology in the federal government for the better.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

• 8 years of experience as a software or cloud solution architect leading Agile teams delivering microservice- and API-based applications

• Experience supporting FedRAMP accreditation or ATO efforts

• Experience with data and analytics platforms such as Big Query, Dataflow, Dataproc, or Databricks on GCP
