  • Engineer solutions leveraging key technologies (e.g., Java, SQL Server, Oracle Database, Jenkins) to modernize legacy applications and enable Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflows. 
  • Ensure architectural compliance with VA security and privacy standards (e.g., FISMA, NIST 800-53, FIPS 140-2), incorporating encryption, access controls, and monitoring into system designs. 
  • Utilize VA-approved tools (e.g., Jira, GitHub, ServiceNow) to document architectural designs, track changes, and contribute to Biweekly Status Reports on solution progress and technical risks. 
  • Provide technical leadership during Agile ceremonies (e.g., PI planning, sprint reviews), aligning system designs with sprint goals and the VIP Lean-Agile framework. 
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) or containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), to enhance VA OIT’s modernization efforts. 
  • Collaborate with VA stakeholders, including the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), to validate solution designs, address technical challenges, and deliver exceptional customer outcomes. 
  • Mentor team members on architectural best practices and SAFe principles, contributing to Trilogy’s staff development initiatives and fostering a culture of technical excellence. 
  • Assess and mitigate risks related to system architecture, ensuring designs remain adaptable to evolving VA requirements and technical standards. 

Minimum Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field. 
  • Certified SAFe Architect (SA) certification required.
  • 5+ years of experience in solution architecture, systems engineering, or a related role, with a focus on federal or VA IT environments. 
  • Proven expertise in designing enterprise-scale IT systems, integrating cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), and applying SAFe methodologies in Agile settings. 
  • Strong technical and strategic skills, with the ability to balance innovation, security, and scalability in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. 
  • Familiarity with VA security standards (e.g., FISMA, NIST, HIPAA) and the VIP Lean-Agile framework is highly desirable. 
  • Proficiency in MS Office Applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, SharePoint) and VA-approved tools (e.g., Jira, GitHub, ServiceNow). 
  • Ability to adapt to evolving technical requirements and travel occasionally to VA sites in Washington, D.C., as needed. 
  • Ability to obtain a Public Trust Clearance
