Develop and maintain architecture artifacts and models (e.g., DODAF operational and system views), interface control documents, and integration patterns.
Coordinate with partners and technical support teams to author interface control documents and establish system-to-system connections.
Determine architecture requirements and priorities with stakeholders; propose and compare alternative solutions.
Evaluate alternatives to identify the most effective, fit-for-purpose technical solution to current business problems.
Stay current on evolving cloud capabilities and business needs; recommend options that improve cost efficiency and functionality to support informed, collaborative decisions.
Enable built-in monitoring and CI/CD to automate the application lifecycle (build, test, deploy, maintain) and drive continuous improvement across the Agile DevSecOps process from assessment through operations.
Establish and maintain cooperative working relationships with a diverse set of staff, stakeholders, and customers; communicate complex designs clearly and professionally.

Experience working in an Agile environment
Extensive cloud experience delivering solutions end-to-end: architecting, designing, developing, leading, and implementing cloud infrastructure and application platform technologies across large-scale, multi-team enterprise programs
