The architect supports Department of the Navy (DON) efforts to establish and sustain cloud-enabled data and analytics capabilities for assessing industrial-base performance, production capacity, supply-chain risk, investment activity, and program outcomes.

This position requires a senior technical subject matter expert with demonstrated experience designing and supporting secure enterprise cloud environments, data platforms, and analytic workloads. The architect shall be capable of developing cloud-architecture designs, landing-zone concepts, implementation roadmaps, technical standards, and documented tradeoff analyses that enable Government consideration and authorized implementation of data-management and performance-assessment capabilities.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop target cloud-architecture designs, technical roadmaps, reference architectures, implementation plans, and technical decision-support products for Government review.
  • Design cloud landing-zone concepts and supporting architecture patterns for data, analytics, reporting, software-engineering, and other approved workloads.
  • Develop architecture documentation addressing identity and access management, role-based access control, privileged-access concepts, network segmentation, network boundaries, storage, compute, monitoring, logging, backup, recovery, scalability, performance, and cost-management considerations.
  • Prepare technical analyses and architecture documentation supporting Government assessment of hosting, handling, security, and authorization requirements for proposed data and analytic workloads.
  • Analyze tradeoffs among managed cloud services, custom services, cost, performance, scalability, resilience, security, operational supportability, and mission needs.
  • Develop draft cloud-architecture standards, technical patterns, governance recommendations, configuration baselines, and reusable reference artifacts for Government review and approval.
  • Support Government-authorized cloud-environment provisioning, configuration, validation, documentation, and transition activities.
  • Develop infrastructure-as-code, configuration-management, automation, and repeatable deployment approaches supporting authorized cloud-environment implementation and sustainment.
  • Support data-platform architecture for data ingestion, storage, processing, analytics, reporting, data governance, and performance-assessment capabilities.
  • Assess technical dependencies, data flows, integration requirements, security considerations, operational risks, cost drivers, and implementation constraints affecting cloud and analytic workloads.
  • Prepare executive briefings, technical memoranda, architecture diagrams, implementation roadmaps, decision packages, and status reports for senior technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
  • Coordinate technical products and supporting information with DASN (DIB) directorates, ASN (RD&A) offices, DON acquisition organizations, DON enterprise service providers, Department of War stakeholders, and other Government-approved points of contact, as directed by the Government.
  • Support time-sensitive taskers, technical reviews, executive engagements, and approved working groups associated with cloud, data, analytics, and industrial-base performance-assessment initiatives.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in data science, statistics, mathematics, economics, operations research, engineering, computer science, business analytics, or a related quantitative discipline.
  • 10+ years’ experience in cloud architecture, cybersecurity engineering, data management, analytics, and performance-assessment capabilities.
  • Experience supporting Flank Speed, DON enterprise-cloud services, Azure Government, or other Department of War cloud environments.
  • Experience supporting DoD cloud security requirements, cloud authorization processes, security-control implementation, system authorization-package development, or related risk-management activities.
  • Experience with enterprise data engineering, data architecture, analytics platforms, business intelligence, data visualization, data governance, artificial intelligence-enabled analytics, or industrial-data environments.
  • Experience with data-platform integration, application programming interfaces, event-driven architecture, cloud-native application design, DevSecOps, or continuous integration and continuous delivery practices.
  • Experience supporting Department of the Navy, Department of War, Federal acquisition, national-security, defense-industrial-base, or comparable complex public-sector organizations is required.
  • Experience with industrial-base, supply-chain, manufacturing, logistics, investment, readiness, or performance-assessment data environments.
  • The position may require support outside normal business hours to meet time-sensitive transaction, interagency, executive, or industrial-base requirements.
  • DoD 8570/8140 certification required (Level II).
  • Current Top Secret. Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) eligibility required.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
