Solutions Architect

The Work

At ICF our Digital Modernization Division is an information technology and management consulting organization that delivers integrated, strategic solutions to federal clients. We bring expertise in cloud, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, data modernization, and digital transformation to support mission-critical government programs.

Join a team accelerating the modernization of a large federal agency's enterprise data and analytics ecosystem. This cloud-based platform provides data storage, analytics, governance, and AI/ML capabilities that enable thousands of users to transform data into actionable insights. As demand continues to grow, the team is focused on migrating legacy workloads, streamlining onboarding and support, expanding platform capabilities, and helping organizations across the enterprise adopt modern data and AI solutions at scale.

The Solutions Architect serves as a senior technical leader responsible for translating enterprise architecture strategies and standards into scalable, secure, and reusable solution designs. Partnering with stakeholders across engineering, security, data, and delivery teams, the role develops architecture artifacts, guides technical decision-making, resolves design challenges, and ensures solutions align with enterprise standards while reducing risk and accelerating modernization efforts.
