Solutions Architect / Technical Lead (US citizenship is required)

About the role

We're looking for a hands-on technical lead and architect for a new AI-assisted platform that helps federal agencies tackle challenges related to payment integrity. You'll own how the whole system fits together—AI-powered document processing, a rules engine that applies complex eligibility rules, and the workflow where human reviewers approve each case—all running securely in AWS.

This position is located in our Fairfax, VA office; however, a hybrid working model is acceptable. Due to the nature of government contracts, US citizenship is required.

Responsibilities

• Own the overall system architecture end-to-end: document intake and AI extraction, the rules engine, the human review workflow, and reporting—all in AWS, leveraging AWS services.
• Define the core data model and the interfaces between major components so teams can build against stable contracts.
• Set the engineering standards the team works to: version control of rules and data, end-to-end traceability of every fact and decision, and strong automated testing.
• Work closely with the security engineer so the design will meet its federal security authorization (ATO) requirements from the start, rather than being reworked late.
• Stay hands-on: lead by designing alongside the team and unblocking senior engineers on the hardest technical problems.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of software development experience, including senior architecture ownership of a non-trivial distributed or data processing system.
• Demonstrated experience designing on AWS (GovCloud or commercial), including IAM, data boundaries, and infrastructure as code.
• Track record owning a shared data contract/API between independent teams and enforcing it in practice.

Qualifications (Desired)

• Prior federal/regulated data delivery experience (FISMA, ATO context).
• Experience with LLM-integrated or document processing systems/OCR.
• Experience leading teams building against shared interfaces/data contracts.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation.
• Comprehensive insurance options.
• Matching contributions through the 401(k) plan and the share purchase plan.
• Paid time off for vacation, holidays, and sick time.
• Paid parental leave.
• Learning opportunities and tuition assistance.
• Wellness and well-being programs.

Pay

A reasonable estimate of the current range for this role in the U.S. is $143,500.00–$310,700.00.
