• Partner with sales, business development, and capture teams during pre-sales to shape technical solutions, scope of work, and level-of-effort estimates. 
• Translate client requirements into detailed technical architecture documents, solution diagrams, and statements of work. 
• Lead technical discovery sessions and workshops with clients to gather requirements and validate proposed architecture. 
• Evaluate and recommend appropriate technologies, platforms, and tools (cloud, on-premises, hybrid) to meet project objectives. 
• Collaborate with delivery and engineering teams to ensure architecture is implemented correctly and remains aligned with the original design intent. 
• Develop and maintain reusable architecture patterns, technical frameworks, and best-practice documentation. 
• Support proposal development by providing technical narratives, diagrams, and solution write-ups for RFP/RFQ responses. 
• Conduct technical risk assessments and provide mitigation strategies for proposed solutions. 
• Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends, recommending innovations that create competitive advantage. 
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to engineering and delivery staff throughout project lifecycles. 

Required Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and hybrid infrastructure design. 
• Solid understanding of networking, security, database, and application architecture principles. 
• Experience translating business requirements into technical designs, diagrams, and documentation (e.g., using Visio, Lucidchart, or similar tools). 
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally with sales, delivery, and engineering teams in a pre-sales or delivery capacity. 
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. 
• Experience supporting proposal/RFP responses with technical content and solution architecture write-ups. 
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Industry certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or TOGAF. 
• Experience working on government (federal, state, local, or education) technology contracts or projects.
