Position Title : Product Convergence Architect

Position Location : Government site in Annapolis Junction, MD

Description :

We are seeking an experienced Technical Lead to oversee and guide the unification of two existing product teams into a consolidated, efficient, and cloud-aligned capability. While both teams support the same COTS platform, Feith for managing Electronic Records Management functions, only one product currently operates in AWS. Historically, one team's mission centered on expanding the capabilities of the other; now, the priority is bringing both efforts together under a modernized and cloud-based architecture.

The selected candidate will work closely with the technical leads from both product teams to evaluate current architectures, workflows, and areas of technical debt. They will develop a comprehensive integration and modernization plan that outlines risks, dependencies, opportunities for efficiency, architectural recommendations, and a phased implementation approach for leadership approval.

This role requires hands-on AWS experience, strong knowledge of supporting and integrating COTS products, and the ability to drive collaboration across engineering teams, customer stakeholders, and vendor partners. The ideal candidate will bring both strategic vision and practical technical leadership as we unify the two product lines and establish a cohesive forward path.

• Provide hands-on development and solutioning within an AWS environment, aligned with best practices for scalability, resiliency, and security.
• Support and advise on application modernization opportunities, including containerization strategies and cloud-native re-architecture.
• Define integration patterns, APIs, and shared service approaches to support a consolidated product ecosystem.

Vendor Engagement & COTS Integration (Feith)

• Coordinate with Feith (vendor) to understand their roadmap, containerization efforts, and expectations for platform readiness.
• Evaluate Feith's containerized product capabilities and determine readiness for integration into the consolidated platform.
• Translate vendor capabilities into customer-centric recommendations and impact assessments.
• Present technical recommendations and integration strategies to customer leadership.

Team & Customer Coordination

• Work directly with both product teams to align processes, define unified technical standards, and reduce redundancy.
• Facilitate communication across teams, ensuring smooth adoption of consolidation roadmap.
• Support Agile ceremonies and help refine backlogs to reflect unified team priorities.
• Provide clear status updates, risk reporting, and milestone tracking to leadership.

Qualifications :

• TS/SCI with Polygraph

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Computer Science or related discipline. Four (4) years of additional software development experience may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
