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 LMI is seeking an experienced Solutions Architect to join our Growth Operations organization and serve as the technical backbone of our client-facing business development efforts. This role sits on the BD/capture side: you'll architect the technical solutions behind our pursuits. That said, credible architecture comes from recent, hands-on experience developing and implementing solutions on a delivery project. That background is what lets a solution hold up under evaluator scrutiny and translate cleanly into delivery. This is a high-visibility position for someone who enjoys translating agency mission needs and RFP/RFI requirements into differentiated technical solutions, and who wants to apply real engineering judgment earned through hands-on delivery to the sales cycle. You will influence what we pursue, how we compete, and how we bring new capabilities to government customers. LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed. Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors-helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value. * 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.
