- Serve as a senior technical design authority and primary architectural interface for government stakeholders, program leadership, and delivery teams.
- Ensure seamless integration among ACWS application components, shared services, data sources, interfaces, security services, and supporting infrastructure.
- Guide architectural runway, technical feasibility assessments, nonfunctional requirements, and architecture-related enablers needed for continuous delivery.
- Participate in Agile and SAFe ceremonies, including PI Planning, architecture syncs, solution refinement, system demos, and retrospectives, as appropriate to the program.
- Create and maintain architecture artifacts and technical documentation consistent with Army and DoD standards and approved program practices.
- Provide guidance on secure cloud deployment, identity and access management, application security, resilience, performance, and scalability.
- Partner with developers, Appian specialists, database administrators, DevSecOps engineers, information assurance personnel, testers, and functional SMEs to resolve architectural issues and delivery risks.
- Evaluate emerging technologies, Appian capabilities, and architectural patterns and recommend practical improvements to ACWS sustainability, usability, security, and maintainability.
- Prepare and deliver technical briefings, architecture recommendations, and decision materials to program stakeholders and senior leadership.
