Lead AWS Federal Data-Platform Architect

Role Description

Axyde Analytics seeks a senior AWS architect to lead the design and implementation of a federal enterprise data, analytics, and AI platform. The work begins with proposal and technical-challenge support and may continue through transition and long-term operations following award.

The current technical baseline uses FedRAMP-authorized AWS managed services. The architect must preserve alignment between the submitted security baseline, demonstrated environment, Factor 3 production solution, and implemented platform.

• Own the end-to-end architecture for ingestion, storage, transformation, analytics, AI, identity, security, monitoring, and operations.
• Translate the solicitation and PWS into an implementable AWS architecture.
• Maintain fidelity to Axyde’s final approved Factor 1 service, model, and SBOM baseline.
• Design for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured information.
• Address JDBC, Oracle, Red Hat/Linux, APIs, public sources, files, forms, and Government-directed data connections.
• Design scalable patterns for hundreds of interfaces, dashboards, forms, workflows, and data sources.
• Define integration with DOE identity, SIEM, access-control, and security environments.
• Identify architecture gaps, assumptions, dependencies, limitations, and Government-furnished prerequisites.
• Produce architecture diagrams, service inventories, implementation plans, and technical narratives.
• Lead technical rehearsals and support the live Government demonstration.
• Guide the production transition, testing environment, operations, maintenance, and future expansion.

Qualifications

• At least eight years of AWS architecture experience.
• Hands-on expertise with Amazon Bedrock, Step Functions, S3, Glue, Athena, QuickSight/Quick Suite, IAM, KMS, CloudTrail, and CloudWatch.
• Experience designing secure data platforms for federal or regulated environments.
• Strong knowledge of FedRAMP authorization boundaries and the AWS shared-responsibility model.
• Experience with data integration, APIs, schema diversity, data quality, scaling, and enterprise identity.
• Ability to explain technical decisions clearly to nontechnical executives and Government evaluators.

Requirements

• No Lambda function, EC2/AMI, container, external SaaS, external model endpoint, third-party runtime, or unlisted AWS service may be introduced unless approved through Axyde’s architecture and change-control process and reconciled with the applicable security baseline.

Engagement

• U.S. citizenship required.
• Remote within the United States with occasional travel.
• Immediate consulting availability is preferred.
• Continued work is contingent upon contract award.
