About this role

Solution Architect, Lead

The Opportunity:

At a certain point, experience‑based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology‑based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on some of the toughest challenges?

As a lead solution architect on our team, you’ll translate mission needs and future goals into a plan by crafting architecture products, design specifications, and mission‑aligned requirements. You will bring deep understanding of systems such as passport adjudication platforms and biometric identity services such as ABIS.

And what do you do next in a career where you’ve reached this level? You mentor the next set of developers and analysts to help them grow into tomorrow’s solutions architects. As a technical mission leader, you’ll shape digital solutions and identify opportunities for growth that align with ongoing modernization efforts highlighted in recent strategy discussions

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have:

  • 7+ years of experience translating mission requirements into technical architectures and leading design for complex implementations

  • 3+ years of experience supporting the U.S. Department of State’s Consular Affairs, including passport services, visa processing, ACS, or crisis management operations

  • Knowledge of consular systems, such as 2DB, ABIS biometric verification, ACS case management, ACRS fee collection, or CA enterprise platforms

  • Knowledge of data integrations across CCD, TDIS, ACS, financial systems, identity management, and cross‑border verification systems
