Cloud Modernization & Migration

  • Architect hybrid, cloud-native, and multi-cloud environments using platforms such as AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, and other secure federal cloud environments.
  • Assess current-state environments and recommend target-state architectures that improve scalability, resilience, security, usability, and mission performance.
  • Ensure cloud solutions align with FedRAMP Moderate/High, agency-specific security controls, and operational requirements.
  • Guide the design of full-stack applications, including frontend interfaces, backend services, and microservices-based architectures, ensuring scalability, security, and alignment with federal mission requirements.

Cybersecurity & Risk Management

  • Integrate cybersecurity, privacy, and risk management considerations into solution architectures from the earliest stages of design.
  • Partner with ISSOs, cybersecurity teams, infrastructure teams, and program leadership to ensure adherence to NIST SP 800-53, NIST SP 800-171, RMF, Zero Trust, and agency-specific requirements.
  • Support architecture reviews to identify technical, security, operational, and compliance risks.

Data Architecture & Governance

  • Design data architectures that support secure, reliable, and mission-aligned access to enterprise information.
  • Incorporate data governance, metadata management, data quality, lineage, access controls, and stewardship practices into solution designs.
  • Ensure appropriate handling of CUI, PII, PHI, and other sensitive data in accordance with federal and agency-specific requirements.

Artificial Intelligence

  • Develop AI-enabled solution concepts that align with client mission needs, data readiness, governance requirements, security expectations, and operational constraints.
  • Support architectures for AI/ML, generative AI, agentic workflows, intelligent automation, decision support, and analytics solutions.
  • Help clients assess where AI and automation can improve mission outcomes while ensuring solutions remain practical, compliant, secure, and aligned with federal guidance.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field
  • Demonstrated experience supporting proposals, technical volumes, and compliance mappings

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
