  • Data Discovery Platforms : Maintaining and improving platforms for efficient geospatial information access.
  • Advanced Foundational GEOINT Missions : Advancing topographic, aeronautical, and maritime missions through innovative solutions.
  • Secure Access Management : Providing ICAM services and Zero Trust best practices for next-generation data access and information sharing.

Primary Responsibilities :

  • Lead the development of technical solutions for complex business captures, including proposal writing, architecture diagrams, solution narratives, and cost estimations.
  • Conduct thorough requirements analysis and translate customer needs into actionable technical specifications.
  • Collaborate with business development, engineering, and other stakeholders to develop winning capture strategies.
  • Provide technical leadership and guidance to capture teams.
  • Develop and present technical briefings and demonstrations to customers.
  • Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends, particularly within the GEOINT and IC domains.
  • Contribute to the development of internal best practices and methodologies for solution architecture and capture management.
  • Maintain and leverage existing customer relationships while cultivating new ones.
  • Mentor and guide junior architects and engineers.
  • Support post-capture activities, including transition to implementation teams.
  • Basic Qualifications :

  • Masters degree and 15+ years of relevant experience in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems; or Bachelor's degree and 17+ years of relevant experience.
  • Recent experience should include solution architecture, capture execution, and technical leadership with a strong focus on the Intelligence Community in the GEOINT and Space domains.
  • Government contracting industry experience required with deep understanding of NGA, DIA, and other Intelligence Community customer needs and priorities.
  • Demonstrated success in solutioning for winning major government contracts.
  • Deep understanding of government contract regulations and acquisition processes.
  • Expertise in developing technical solutions for complex IT systems, including cloud-based architectures, data analytics platforms, and geospatial processing tools.
  • Expertise in developing and executing investment and IRAD strategies to maximize win rates on strategic captures
  • Strong understanding of software development methodologies and best practices.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Familiarity with SAFE Agile development methodologies.
  • Familiarity with GEOINT data and processing techniques.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills.  Proven experience communicating complex technical concepts to both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Active Top Secret clearance is required.
  • Must be willing to undergo and maintain a TS / SCI clearance with Polygraph.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Active TS / SCI clearance with Polygraph
  • Experience with space systems development, including payload integration, ground systems, and mission operations.
  • Certifications in relevant technical domains (e.g., cloud architecture, cybersecurity).
  • Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.

    We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don’t wear capes (they’re a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for “how it’s always been done.”
