Solutions Architect, Growth

Design end-to-end technical solutions (cloud, data, application modernization, cybersecurity, AI/ML, DevSecOps, etc.) that respond directly to agency requirements and evaluation criteria.

• Identify emerging customer needs, technology trends, and contract vehicles (GSA MAS, SEWP, CIO-SP3/4, GWACs, etc.) to proactively shape new solution offerings before opportunities are released.

• Build trusted relationships with government technical leaders, industry partners, and internal subject matter experts.

• Develop and maintain reusable solution artifacts, including reference architectures, concept diagrams, prototypes, and past-performance technical narratives, using rapid prototyping and emerging technologies to differentiate LMI in competitive pursuits.

• Lead technical volume development for proposals and partner with Capture Managers, Business Development, and market CTOs to shape win themes, technical approach, and solution architecture for new pursuits and re-competes.

• Serve as the subject-matter and architecture resource in client meetings, industry days, oral presentations, and demos, translating complex technical concepts into clear, client-ready language for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Partner with the market leadership and the CTO team to ensure proposed solutions are realistic, deliverable, and compliant with relevant government frameworks (FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, CMMC, Section 508, etc.), drawing on your own delivery background to stress-test feasibility.

• Support price-to-win and technical risk assessments in coordination with pricing and contracts teams.

• Use AI-enabled tools to accelerate research, analysis, concept development, drafting, and solution visualization, applying sound judgment on accuracy, security, privacy, and human oversight.

• 7+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, and delivering technical solutions as a practicing architect or engineer, most recently within a government contracting or systems integrator environment, across one or more of: cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure/GCP GovCloud), enterprise data platforms, application modernization, cybersecurity, or AI/automation. That background is what allows a candidate to credibly architect solutions that survive evaluator scrutiny and transition cleanly into delivery.

• Proven ability to translate requirements from RFPs/RFIs/Sources Sought into compelling, compliant, and deliverable technical solutions.

• Experience supporting government contracting, capture, or proposal efforts is preferred but not disqualifying; a strong technical architect can be brought up to speed on the BD/capture side.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience creating architecture diagrams and presenting to client and executive audiences.

• Working knowledge of federal compliance and security frameworks (FedRAMP, NIST 800-53/800-171, RMF, CMMC, Section 508).

• Experience using AI tools to support research, analysis, solution development, or drafting, with an understanding of their limitations and appropriate controls.

• Comfort operating in a fast-paced, deadline-driven proposal environment with shifting priorities.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active security clearance (Public Trust, Secret, or Top Secret).

• Relevant certifications such as AWS/Azure/GCP Solutions Architect, TOGAF, CISSP, or PMP.

• Prior experience in a pre-sales, capture support, or proposal writing role at a government contracting or federal systems integration firm.

• Experience with GovCon financial and pricing considerations (e.g., basis of estimate development, labor category mapping).

• Direct influence on which opportunities we pursue and how we win them, grounded in technical solutions you actually build and hands-on engineering judgment.

• Exposure across the full business development lifecycle, from capture strategy through proposal submission and transition to delivery.

• Collaborative, mission-driven, and innovative culture supporting meaningful government programs.

• Competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and professional development/certification support.
