About the role

We're looking for a seasoned Information Systems Architect who can operate with real autonomy — someone who thrives on complex, high-stakes work and doesn't need a roadmap to know where to go next. In this role, you'll be the architectural driving force behind our application systems and IT infrastructure, shaping how they're designed, built, and evolved over time. You'll work directly with users and stakeholders to understand what they truly need, then translate those requirements into high-quality solutions that deliver real results.

Collaboration is at the heart of this role: you'll partner closely with developers and engineers to build out application roadmaps, align development plans, and ensure every system and infrastructure component integrates seamlessly with the next. The technology landscape never stops shifting, and you'll be the one keeping us ahead of it — monitoring emerging trends and advancements, and using that insight to continuously refine our solutions so they stay aligned with both industry standards and where the business is headed.

Because our systems, applications, and services are so tightly interwoven, you'll need to deeply understand how they interact, carefully evaluating the downstream impact of any change or addition before it's made. You'll also own the quality bar — analyzing systems, conducting usability testing, and validating performance and reliability, all while enhancing scalability and meeting rigorous security requirements. This role is built for someone who can handle complex, important work with minimal oversight. You'll be trusted with wide latitude for independent judgment, and expected to bring the expertise and confidence to make sound decisions on your own.

• Translate user and stakeholder requirements into high-quality technical solutions.
• Collaborate with developers and engineers to create and align application roadmaps and development plans.

• Monitor emerging technology trends and refine solutions to align with industry standards and business direction.
• Evaluate the downstream impact of changes or additions to interwoven systems, applications, and services.
• Analyze systems, conduct usability testing, and validate performance and reliability.
• Enhance scalability while meeting rigorous security requirements.
• Operate with autonomy, using independent judgment to make sound architectural decisions.

Requirements

• MA/MS degree in an IT or related discipline.
• 5-7 years of experience; may substitute work experience.
• Ability to obtain a US government Secret clearance.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work individually as well as with cross-functional teams.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills.

Qualifications

• Experience with Air Mobility Command (AMC), US Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) or Army Transportation Command (ARTRANS) business, C2, or IT systems.
• Exposure to IT systems requirements, analysis, and engineering.
• Experience with Microsoft Office and Visio.
• Exposure to enterprise architecture frameworks such as DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF), Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF), or The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF).
• Exposure to Business Process Modeling Notation, flow charting, or other process mapping approaches.
