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). ## Description 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. ## Related Videos - [Building Well-Architected applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/691-building-well-architected-applications) - [DevSecOps: Injecting Security into Mobile CI/CD Pipelines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/273-devsecops-injecting-security-into-mobile-ci-cd-pipelines) - [Thinking Differently - How to Make Money from Cyber Attacks & Cheats](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/745-thinking-differently-how-to-make-money-from-cyber-attacks-cheats) - [Solution Architecture: A Startup Perspective](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/778-solution-architecture-a-startup-perspective) - [DevSecOps: Security in DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/36-devsecops-security-in-devops) - [Cyber Security: Small, and Large!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/259-cyber-security-small-and-large) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
