Senior Cloud Solutions Architect, #1041

AWS • Serverless • Data-Intensive Systems

Location: Hybrid, NOVA/DC Metro area

Clearance: U.S. Citizenship is required.  Must be able to obtain and maintain a DHS Public Trust

A Role with Purpose and Impact
Dev Technology is focused on expanding the size of our programs, the complexity of our technical challenges, and the impact of the missions we support. This role exists to help us scale thoughtfully while continuing to deliver high-quality, mission-critical systems & solutions for the federal government, including programs supporting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE.

You will join a collaborative engineering organization solving complex data and integration problems under real-world constraints. The work requires sound judgment, curiosity, and a genuine commitment to understanding problems deeply before acting. This role is designed for a senior technical leader or rising senior technical lead who values partnership and takes ownership of solving mission-critical challenges for the federal government, delivering durable, high-quality solutions with real-world impact.
Leadership and Technical Delivery
In practice, this role blends technical leadership with hands-on delivery. You will design and evolve cloud-native, serverless architectures that support large, complex data sets and high-volume data flows. You will work directly with customers to understand mission needs, clarify constraints, and explore tradeoffs that lead to durable solutions.

You will serve as a trusted technical partner to program leadership—providing perspective during key decisions, stepping in when needed, and helping teams navigate complexity. You will build trusted partnerships with federal clients while mentoring and guiding technical teams to successfully deliver mission-critical solutions. While influencing direction, you will remain close to the work and hands-on: reviewing designs and code, prototyping approaches, troubleshooting issues, and improving system performance and reliability.

Who Thrives Here
People who thrive in this role bring a thoughtful, grounded approach to technical leadership. They listen carefully, ask good questions, and take the time to understand problems before offering solutions. They are motivated self-learners who stay current through research, experimentation, and reflection, and who bring maturity and presence to technical conversations—especially when the stakes are high. They value staying close to the work, remaining hands on with design, code, and technical problem solving to ensure solutions are practical and well executed.
They find satisfaction in mentoring and growing technical talent, strengthening teams through collaboration rather than individual heroics. They enjoy partnering closely with customers and teammates, earning trust through integrity, respect, and follow through. They are resilient in the face of ambiguity, adaptable as conditions change, and connected to the mission and the real people who rely on the systems we build.

The Opportunity
This role offers the opportunity to grow alongside a company that is expanding with purpose—taking on larger programs, more complex data challenges, and broader mission impact. You will have room to influence technical direction, shape how we deliver, and contribute meaningfully without being removed from the technology itself. If you are motivated by complex data problems, collaborative problem-solving, and quietly effective technical leadership, this role offers both challenge and long-term growth.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement AWS cloud-native and serverless architectures.
  • Build and support systems handling large-scale, complex data workloads.
  • Serve as a technical lead by setting architectural direction and best practices.

  • Collaborate with customers and stakeholders to translate mission needs into solutions.
  • Apply AI and ML concepts practically through prototyping and integration.
  • Mentor engineers through code reviews and knowledge sharing.
  • Contribute to DevSecOps pipelines, CI/CD automation, and cloud security practices.

Voluntary Self-Identification

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Dev Technology’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

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.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
