Job Description:

Seize your opportunity to make a personal impact as a Solutions Architect of Cloud Solutions.GDIT is your place to make meaningful contributions to challenging projects and grow a rewarding career.

At GDIT, people are our differentiator. As a Solutions Architect,our work depends on two activities that win and prove our work: writing winning technical proposals and building the proofs of concept that show agencies what "good" actually looks like.

Some weeks you'll be heads-down on a technical volume against a hard RFP deadline. Others you'll be in a sandbox environment standing up a working prototype for a client demo. If you like being the person who can both articulate the architecture on paper and then go build it, this is that job.

This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports. You'll own solutions end to end, and you'll be trusted to run a bid's technical approach or a client POC without day-to-day direction. You will not be a full-time bid writer, and you will not be a full-time engineer; you'll be the bridge between them.

HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT:

• Serve as a credible senior technical voice in front of federal customers, teaming partners, and cloud provider field teams
• Maintain working fluency in the compliance frameworks our clients operate under: FedRAMP, FISMA, NIST 800-53, RMF/ATO, and federal Zero Trust requirements under current OMB and CISA guidance
• Build and maintain relationships with [AWS, Microsoft, Google] public sector partner teams

Proposal and capture support:

• Serve as technical lead or contributing author on cloud architecture content for RFP, RFI, RFQ, and sources-sought responses: technical volumes, architecture diagrams, transition plans, and management approach sections
• Translate agency requirements (PWS/SOW/SOO) into defensible technical solutions with clear discriminators, not boilerplate
• Develop basis-of-estimate inputs, level-of-effort assumptions, and cloud cost models that pricing and capture can actually use
• Participate in Pink, Red, and Gold Team reviews; incorporate reviewer feedback under deadline pressure without losing the thread of the solution
• Support oral presentations and technical Q&A with agency evaluators
• Build out our reusable technical library: reference architectures, technical case studies, reusable solution modules, and technical past-performance assets

Proofs of concept and prototyping:

• Scope, build, and demo working POCs and pilots in federal cloud environments that address a specific client problem
• Stand up infrastructure as code, containerized workloads, CI/CD pipelines, and data or AI/ML pipelines as the use case demands
• Run technical discovery sessions and whiteboard workshops with client architects, CIO/CTO staff, and program leadership
• Evaluate prototypes for security, data protection, cost, and operational suitability. What we show has to survive contact with an ATO
• Document POC outcomes clearly enough that they become the technical foundation of the follow-on proposal or task order
• Hand off successful prototypes to delivery teams with architecture documentation, runbooks, and a clean IaC repo

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCCEED:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field or equivalent hands-on experience
• Required Experience: 15+ years in cloud architecture, engineering, or technical presales, including 3+ years supporting federal government customers or federal contracts
• Required Technical Skills: Deep hands-on experience in AWS or Azure, including its federal regions; Direct experience contributing technical content to federal proposals. You've written to an evaluation factor and been scored on it; Practical skill with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep, or equivalent), containers and Kubernetes, CI/CD tooling, and Python; Working knowledge of FedRAMP and the ATO process; Strong technical writing
• Attributes for Success: Good communication skills and comfortable with interaction with all levels of staff, to include other solutions architects, leadership, in addition to interfacing with business owners and customers
• Preferred Skills: Professional-level cloud certification: AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Professional Cloud Architect; Security certification such as CISSP, CCSP, or equivalent; Google Cloud experience, particularly in Assured Workloads or other federal-eligible configurations; Hands-on experience designing or prototyping modern data, AI/ML, or Generative AI solutions using cloud-native services and enterprise data sources: RAG, enterprise search and knowledge retrieval, model and API integration, or AI-enabled data platforms; Experience with federal contract vehicles and task-order competitions; Familiarity with Shipley or a comparable capture and proposal methodology; Prior experience at a systems integrator or a cloud provider's public sector organization; Strong backend skills in at least one of Node/TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, or C#, and comfort building and consuming REST APIs
• Location: 100% remote working
• Travel: 10% travel, to include visiting Falls Church, VA, as needed

Work visa sponsorship will not be considered for this role

This position does not accept submissions from third‑party agencies or corp‑to‑corp entities. Only direct applicants are eligible for consideration.

GDIT IS YOUR PLACE:

At GDIT, the mission is our purpose, and our people are at the center of everything we do.

• Growth: AI-powered career tool that identifies career steps and learning opportunities
