What Impact You'll Have

Join GRVTYs mission-focused team as a Solutions Architect on a dynamic, fast-paced team. In this role, you will be at the forefront of solving our nations hardest problems by transforming complex, high-stakes requirements into technical realities. You will serve as the primary engine for clarity, taking ambiguous customer-provided Statements of Work and deconstructing them into modular, resilient, and executable software architectures. Your work won't just guide developers; it will provide the architectural backbone for mission-critical systems that safeguard national security and drive technical superiority.

What You'll Be Owning:

• Requirements Translation: Deconstructing customer Statements of Work (SOWs) into clear, actionable technical roadmaps and specifications.
• Component Design: Breaking down complex mission problems into specific software components, subcomponents, and well-defined API contracts.
• Architectural Integrity: Defining Linux-based software structures capable of running on public cloud or restricted, customer-provided cloud-native infrastructure.
• Process Alignment: Ensuring all architectural designs support high-velocity Agile development and automated CI/CD workflows for rapid capability delivery.

What You Must Have:

• Active TS/SCI clearance with ability to obtain a CI/Poly.
• Bachelors degree in a technical field or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Architectural Decomposition: A proven ability to take "messy" or highly complex problem sets and organize them into clean, modular system designs.
• Software-First Mindset: A background in modern software development with the ability to evaluate the trade-offs between various languages, databases, and frameworks.
• Linux Ecosystem Mastery: Deep familiarity with Linux-based environments and an understanding of how modern software interacts with the OS layer.
• Cloud-Native Expertise: Strong experience with containerization (Kubernetes), microservices patterns, and designing for highly distributed environments.

What Would Be Nice to Have:

• Experience with AWS or other cloud platforms.
• Experience with configuration management or infrastructure automation tools.
• Experience supporting production systems and operational teams.
• D&I Domain Experience: Familiarity with the unique security constraints and deployment challenges found within the Defense and Intelligence communities.
• Technical Communication: The ability to explain complex architectural trade-offs to both engineering teams and non-technical mission stakeholders.
