Pega Lead System Architect

• Own the end-to-end Pega application architecture and high-level solution design across case management, workflows, business rules, data, integrations, reporting, security, and operations.

• Establish architecture guardrails that maximize declarative configuration, reusable components, upgradeability, modularity, and minimal custom code.

• Define application layering, case-type design, data models, integration patterns, personas, role-based access, audit history, and technical standards.

• Coordinate Pega design with the enterprise integration layer, authoritative data sources, OpenAPI-based interfaces, metadata, lineage, and resilient exchange patterns.

• Ensure architecture supports FedRAMP/VA authorization, Zero Trust, ICAM/PIV, IPv6, logging, privacy, records, accessibility, and continuous-monitoring requirements.

• Guide modular AI and report-generation architecture, including governed data access, model/service integration, versioning, explainability, and human review.

• Lead architecture and design reviews, customization challenges, technical backlog decomposition, and resolution of cross-cutting technical risks.

• Provide technical oversight during sprint delivery, testing, performance tuning, release readiness, deployment, and production stabilization.

• Support architecture-level troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, remediation planning, and continuous improvement for complex system or integration issues.

• Mentor System Architects, developers, data/integration engineers, and administrators in Pega best practices and disciplined technical delivery.

• 8+ years of progressive enterprise application architecture or software-delivery experience, including substantial hands-on Pega implementation experience.

• Demonstrated performance in a Pega architecture role comparable to Lead System Architect or senior enterprise solution architect.

• Deep knowledge of Pega case management, application structure, rules, data modeling, integrations, security, reporting, deployment, and guardrail-based development.

• Experience designing secure, scalable, modular, maintainable, and upgradeable enterprise Pega solutions.

• Experience translating business, data, security, integration, accessibility, performance, and operational requirements into practical architecture decisions.

• Working knowledge of REST APIs, enterprise integration patterns, data exchange, error handling, observability, and release governance.

• Ability to lead technical reviews, make and document tradeoffs, identify architecture risk, and guide remediation across multiple teams.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical, business, executive, and Government audiences.

• Current Pega Certified Lead System Architect certification is strongly preferred; candidates with Pega Senior System Architect certification and equivalent architecture experience may be considered.

• Experience with Pega Cloud for Government, FedRAMP-authorized SaaS, or another regulated cloud environment.

• Familiarity with federal financial, budget, acquisition, workflow, or audit-support solutions; VA experience is beneficial but not required.

• Experience with API-first architecture, AI-enabled workflow, Pega Process AI/GenAI, DevSecOps, Section 508, or observability tooling.

EDUCATION:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
