Product Convergence Architect
Freedom Technology Solutions Group is seeking a Product Convergence Architect to support the Government Corporate Management Services (CMS) mission by sustaining, modernizing, and transforming critical enterprise corporate applications used across acquisition, business, finance, HR, training, recruitment, program management, security, and logistics.
We are seeking an experienced Technical Lead to oversee and guide the unification of two existing product teams into a consolidated, efficient, and cloud-aligned capability. While both teams support the same COTS platform, Feith for managing Electronic Records Management functions, only one product currently operates in AWS. Historically, one team’s mission centered on expanding the capabilities of the other; now, the priority is bringing both efforts together under a modernized and cloud-based architecture.
The selected candidate will work closely with the technical leads from both product teams to evaluate current architectures, workflows, and areas of technical debt. They will develop a comprehensive integration and modernization plan that outlines risks, dependencies, opportunities for efficiency, architectural recommendations, and a phased implementation approach for leadership approval.
This role requires hands-on AWS experience, strong knowledge of supporting and integrating COTS products, and the ability to drive collaboration across engineering teams, customer stakeholders, and vendor partners.
