Infrastructure Architect

Role Overview

• Lead infrastructure architecture and modernization efforts supporting large-scale VA enterprise health systems.
• Design and implement secure, scalable hybrid cloud and on-premise infrastructure solutions.
• Support modernization and migration of legacy healthcare systems, including VistA/MUMPS-based environments.
• Review and validate AI-generated outputs related to infrastructure components, environment configurations, and deployment specifications—assessing accuracy, completeness, and alignment with VA security and operational requirements before implementation.
• Coordinate with VA government stakeholders to confirm AI platform infrastructure components meet federal standards, and serve as the primary infrastructure liaison between the VA environment and the LTS product development team.
• Develop infrastructure roadmaps, reference architectures, and technical standards aligned with VA and federal requirements.
• Collaborate with application, database, cybersecurity, and DevSecOps teams to support system modernization initiatives.
• Architect solutions supporting high availability, disaster recovery, scalability, and performance optimization.
• Evaluate and recommend emerging technologies, infrastructure tooling, and modernization strategies.
• Support infrastructure integration across cloud, data center, network, storage, virtualization, and identity management platforms.
• Ensure compliance with federal cybersecurity frameworks including NIST, FISMA, FedRAMP, and Zero Trust initiatives.
• Participate in technical reviews, architecture governance, engineering assessments, and modernization planning activities.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineering and operations teams throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support documentation efforts including architecture diagrams, technical design documents, implementation plans, and operational procedures.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in enterprise infrastructure engineering or architecture.
• Experience supporting large-scale federal IT modernization programs, preferably within the VA or healthcare environment.
• Demonstrated ability to critically evaluate AI-generated technical outputs—such as infrastructure specifications, environment recommendations, or configuration guidance—for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with federal and VA standards prior to implementation.
• Strong experience with hybrid cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud Platform).
• Experience designing enterprise infrastructure solutions involving virtualization, storage, networking, identity management, and compute environments.
• Knowledge of infrastructure modernization strategies for legacy applications and systems.
• Experience with enterprise monitoring, automation, backup/recovery, and performance management solutions.
• Strong understanding of cybersecurity and compliance requirements within federal environments.
• Experience supporting highly available, mission-critical systems in regulated environments.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
