This position provides technical leadership and expertise in systems engineering, integration, and cloud-based geospatial solutions. The architect collaborates closely with stakeholders to assess business needs, recommend emerging technologies, and ensure scalable, secure, and compliant geospatial systems. This role requires a strong understanding of GIS technologies, federal compliance standards, and enterprise IT environments to effectively support and advance geospatial data infrastructure and applications.

Responsibilities and Duties:

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable, resilient, and interoperable geospatial system architectures aligned with DHS standards.
  • Conduct gap analysis and identify technical and functional requirements to meet geospatial business objectives.
  • Research, evaluate, and recommend emerging geospatial technologies and enterprise solutions.
  • Lead systems integration and architecture design across cloud (including hybrid) and on-premises environments.
  • Manage geospatial data infrastructure including geodatabases, metadata, data warehouses, and cloud-based repositories.
  • Support operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and performance optimization of GIS applications and databases.
  • Develop, maintain, and execute testing plans to validate system performance and operational effectiveness.
  • Create and update architectural documentation, SOPs, technical guides, and other related artifacts.
  • Ensure compliance with federal IT policies, DHS directives, security standards, and accessibility requirements.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to align technical architecture with organizational goals.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and staff.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Geospatial Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Proven experience as a Systems Architect or similar role supporting geospatial systems in government or large enterprise environments.
  • Strong expertise in systems engineering, architecture design, and GIS technologies, particularly Esri products.
  • Experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GovCloud), hybrid cloud architectures, and data storage solutions.
  • Proficient in database design, management, and configuration, including geodatabases and spatial data repositories.
  • Knowledge of federal IT security frameworks and compliance standards (e.g., FISMA, Section 508, DHS management directives).
  • Familiarity with software development lifecycle (SDLC), DevSecOps, and CI/CD practices for GIS applications.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work effectively with diverse teams and manage multiple priorities.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience supporting DHS geospatial programs or similar federal initiatives.
  • Familiarity with DHS Geospatial Information Infrastructure (GII), GeoPlatform, and HIFLD standards.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS GovCloud or hybrid cloud GIS migrations.
  • Knowledge of automation tools and scripting for system management and deployment.
  • Prior experience mentoring or leading technical teams in a government contracting environment.
