Senior Cloud Solutions Architect

Dev Technology is focused on expanding the size of our programs, the complexity of our technical challenges, and the impact of the missions we support. This role exists to help us scale thoughtfully while continuing to deliver high-quality, mission-critical systems & solutions for the federal government, including programs supporting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE.

You will join a collaborative engineering organization solving complex data and integration problems under real-world constraints. The work requires sound judgment, curiosity, and a genuine commitment to understanding problems deeply before acting. This role is designed for a senior technical leader or rising senior technical lead who values partnership and takes ownership of solving mission-critical challenges for the federal government, delivering durable, high-quality solutions with real-world impact.

Leadership and Technical Delivery In practice, this role blends technical leadership with hands-on delivery. You will design and evolve cloud-native, serverless architectures that support large, complex data sets and high-volume data flows. You will work directly with customers to understand mission needs, clarify constraints, and explore tradeoffs that lead to durable solutions.

You will serve as a trusted technical partner to program leadership-providing perspective during key decisions, stepping in when needed, and helping teams navigate complexity. You will build trusted partnerships with federal clients while mentoring and guiding technical teams to successfully deliver mission-critical solutions. While influencing direction, you will remain close to the work and hands-on: reviewing designs and code, prototyping approaches, troubleshooting issues, and improving system performance and reliability.

Who Thrives Here People who thrive in this role bring a thoughtful, grounded approach to technical leadership. They listen carefully, ask good questions, and take the time to understand problems before offering solutions. They are motivated self-learners who stay current through research, experimentation, and reflection, and who bring maturity and presence to technical conversations-especially when the stakes are high. They value staying close to the work, remaining hands on with design, code, and technical problem solving to ensure solutions are practical and well executed. They find satisfaction in mentoring and growing technical talent, strengthening teams through collaboration rather than individual heroics. They enjoy partnering closely with customers and teammates, earning trust through integrity, respect, and follow through. They are resilient in the face of ambiguity, adaptable as conditions change, and connected to the mission and the real people who rely on the systems we build.

The Opportunity This role offers the opportunity to grow alongside a company that is expanding with purpose-taking on larger programs, more complex data challenges, and broader mission impact. You will have room to influence technical direction, shape how we deliver, and contribute meaningfully without being removed from the technology itself.
