Technical Architect

8+ years in enterprise/solution/security architecture for large, federated environments (federal experience preferred). Expert diagramming skills: Microsoft Visio (or Archi/Lucid chart/draw.io) with the ability to convey TOGAF level models clearly to both engineers and executives. Hands-on experience mapping designs to ZT pillars (Identity, Device, Network/Environment, Application/Workload, Data) and crosscutting areas (Visibility & Analytics, Automation & Orchestration, Governance). Experience with network & cloud architecture: segmentation/micro segmentation, modern connectivity patterns (e.g., TIC 3.0), policy enforcement at multiple layers, workload identity, service-to-service auth. RMF literacy and collaboration with ATO stakeholders; familiarity with FedRAMP Rev. 5 control sets for cloud. Experience with data & identity patterns: MFA, device posture, secrets management, key management, and lineage/classification considerations in ZT. Concise technical writing, facilitation across PMO, pillar leads, vendors, and engineers; ability to brief options and tradeoffs.

Produce enterprise and solution architecture views (conceptual to logical to physical) following TOGAF conventions. Build clean, high-fidelity diagrams in Microsoft Visio (or Archi/Lucid chart/draw.io) using ArchiMate and BPMN 2.0. Assess current posture and recommend a staged Zero Trust roadmap using CISA ZTMM v2.0 pillars and crosscutting capabilities. Translate gaps into prioritized initiatives with measurable outcomes. Document identity, device, micro segmentation, and policy decision patterns (PDP/PEP, ABAC) and guide them through governance. Turn use cases into implementation and test plans for cloud and on Prem systems. Contribute to test reports and after-action findings. Build Power BI dashboards and monthly/quarterly scorecards with drilldowns by pillar/capability. Ensure designs reflect NIST SP 800207 Zero Trust, OMB M2209, TIC 3.0, and relevant federal directives/handbooks. Support system owners through control selection, inheritance, evidence, and continuous monitoring; account for FedRAMP baselines. Make documents and diagrams Section 508-conformant and consistent with Federal compliance.
