ECS
System Architect
ECS, Fairfax, Virginia, United States, 22032
ECS is seeking a
System Architect
to work in our
Fairfax, VA
office.
ECS is seeking talented professionals to join our successful and growing team in building the next-generation Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Cyber data solution. The CDM Program is the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) dynamic approach to strengthening the cybersecurity of Federal networks and systems through better awareness and visibility into their security posture and cyber threats. ECS is responsible for designing, building, deploying, operating, and maintaining a complete 'Data Services' solution which includes the collection, normalization, visualization, and sharing of cyber data from more than 100 Federal agencies. The CDM Data Services product is an integrated suite of multiple Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) products, software configuration packages, and custom code which work together to operate as an integrated solution tailored to meet Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requirements.
We are seeking professionals who thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, and highly collaborative environment where problem-solving, critical thinking, and a holistic approach to serving the mission are key. Our program operates within the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). An aptitude and enthusiasm for continuous learning, improvement, and cyber security is a must!
ECS is seeking a talented System Architect to serve as an architecture and system design subject matter expert. Effective architecture begins with a deep understanding of requirements and customer needs and matches them with technology and processes aligned with architecture principles. The Architect will manage enterprise architecture efforts to include high level system design, prototyping, proofs of concept, and future state architecture solutioning. The successful candidate will work closely with technical leaders, program leads, and solution engineers to ensure best practices and effective engineering when modernizing and delivering the solution.
The ideal candidate will be capable of reviewing, analyzing, and validating initial stakeholder requests, evaluating technologies, and providing feedback and guidance on solution design. The candidate will work across teams, providing design context to help define and deliver solution capabilities. The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of technology and significant hands-on experience building proofs of concept to demonstrate functionality along with developing supporting documentation. They will have significant hands-on experience developing production solutions, and motivation to explore problems to find creative solutions and grow existing skillsets.
Develop and maintain high level system design artifacts (i.e., plans, designs, workflows)Translate customer requirements into operational solutions aligned with program policies and visionWork across teams to develop engineering plans, guide implementations, and inform engineering decision makingResearch, evaluate, and build prototypes of current and future system capabilitiesProvide analysis, presentations, and demonstrations of current and future capabilitiesSupport cross team efforts to build capacity and financial plansUS citizenship with ability to obtain Public Trust SuitabilityBachelor's degree or equivalent experience5+ years managing, designing, building, and implementing enterprise technology solutions5+ years supporting Private, Commercial, and/or Hybrid Cloud deployments3+ years AWS cloud experience (GovCloud preferred), deploying compute, storage, and other native service offerings3+ years producing architecture and designs that implement scalability, performance, and cost-effective solutions2+ years incorporating security best practices for system integration and design, such as NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF)3+ years delivering technical solutions for government customers on programs of at least $50M in total contract value3+ years translating requirements into high level system designs3+ years designing and implementing data management technologies3+ years integrating systems, services, and/or components through standard or custom APIs4+ years producing technical documentation to communicate system designs and technological analysis to both technical and non-technical audiences
