Remote Solutions Architect (VA ESOM)

This Solutions Architect role sits within Kentro’s data and technical architecture function, supporting a large federal enterprise IT program. Each person in this role is assigned to one of the program’s delivery pillars and works alongside that pillar’s team to build out its technical strategy: what the pillar’s roadmap looks like, where its risks and dependencies sit, and how it should be represented in program-level technical reviews. This is a developing role, not a fully autonomous one. It works under the direction of program technical leadership, with the expectation that ownership and independence grow as the person demonstrates command of their assigned pillar., * Works with an assigned delivery pillar’s team to document and maintain that pillar’s technical strategy: current state, near-term roadmap, and known risks or dependencies.

• Supports preparation of pillar-level content for program management reviews (PMRs) and other recurring technical checkpoints, under the direction of program technical leadership.
• Participates in architecture and solutioning discussions for the assigned pillar, building working knowledge of the program’s broader technical environment over time.
• Identifies and documents innovation or improvement opportunities within the assigned pillar for program-level tracking.
• Contributes pillar-specific technical content to proposals, white papers, and capture materials as requested.
• Escalates technical risks or architecture questions outside the pillar’s scope to program technical leadership rather than resolving them independently.
• Takes on increasing ownership of the pillar’s technical strategy as competency is demonstrated, with a defined path toward representing that pillar with less direct oversight.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 6-10 years of experience in IT operations, systems engineering, or a related technical delivery role.
• Foundational understanding of enterprise IT architecture concepts: how systems, data, and services relate to one another within a larger environment.
• Strong written communication skills; able to document a technical strategy or roadmap clearly for a non-technical audience.
• Comfortable asking questions and escalating rather than guessing when something falls outside current knowledge.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with the ServiceNow platform or a comparable ITSM/ITOM tool.
• Prior experience supporting a federal program, including familiarity with federal data handling and records requirements.
• Exposure to proposal writing, capture support, or other business development activity.
• Experience in one of the program’s specific delivery domains (examples: endpoint operations, platform engineering, service management, asset management).
