Data Architect

The Opportunity:

At a certain point, experience-based system design can start to look like clairvoyance. When you’ve developed so many systems that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technology-based challenge, but you can also anticipate and preempt future issues, you’re a solutions architect. You’ve evolved your skills into strategy through a long path of software development accomplishments and the curiosity to understand how all the pieces of an IT ecosystem fit together. Are you ready to use your combination of knowledge, skill, and experience to take on the toughest challenges in the Department of War? 

As a Data Architect on our team, you'll translate your customer’s IT needs and future goals into a plan by performing data access analysis and develop strategies for data acquisitions, archive recovery, and implementation of the data strategy. You’ll define, design, and build dimensional and relational databases, develop data warehousing blueprints, evaluate hardware and software platforms, and integrate systems. You’ll leverage Agile design approaches to develop, manage, evaluate, and improve tools and processes, and develop and implement enterprise data strategies for the management and sharing of data and ensure that enterprise data assets are governed by a comprehensive data management approach.

Through your leadership, we’ll help transform the way the customer uses technology including cloud migration, integrating advanced technology, and modernizing legacy systems. And, what do you do next in a career where you’ve reached this level? You mentor the next set of developers to help them grow into tomorrow’s solutions architects. As a technical leader, you’ll shape the digital solutions business and identify opportunities for growth.
