Technical Solution Architect (Proposals)

Company is an integrated digital solutions firm that specializes in Cybersecurity, Cloud and Managed Services. Our team provides high-end, quality resources to help our Federal Mission Partners realize their goals.

As a Technical Solutions Architect, you are more than a proposal contributor, you are a technical storyteller and thought leader who thrives on solving complex problems. You will design, articulate, and defend solutions that not only meet requirements but demonstrate vision, clarity, and confidence in execution. This role demands intellectual curiosity, versatility across modern architectures (Cloud, AI/ML, Zero Trust, DevSecOps, MLOps), and the ability to translate deep technical expertise into compelling strategies that resonate with evaluators and decision makers.

•Own the technical solution through the Capture and Proposal lifecycle—shaping strategy from early qualification through final submission.

•Engineer elegant solutions that go beyond baseline compliance, anticipating mission needs and positioning our offerings as differentiated and sustainable.

•Collaborate across disciplines—working with SMEs, program leaders, capture teams, and executives to align solutions with both customer outcomes and business strategy.

•Design and document architectures using diagrams, models, and solution narratives that integrate security, scalability, and innovation.

•Architect across platforms including cloud-native (Azure, AWS), hybrid/multi-cloud, and edge environments—integrating DevSecOps, MLOps, automation pipelines, and Zero Trust architectures.

•Shape proposals into winners by blending technical depth with narrative clarity, ensuring evaluators understand the mission impact of your design.

•Mentor and influence—help cross-functional staff understand not only what the solution is, but why it matters to mission and customer success.

•Lead proofs-of-concept and technical demos that validate innovative approaches and establish customer trust.

•Bridge technical and financial viability by working closely with pricing teams to ensure solutions are both defensible and compelling.

•Stay ahead of trends, monitor emerging technologies, federal standards, and mission requirements to inject innovation into every solution.

•Develop and mature PT78’s internal capabilities, building reusable solution assets, frameworks, and delivery tools that strengthen our technical depth and set the foundation for future growth.

•Bachelor's Degree or recent commensurate experience

•Ability to obtain a DoD Secret Clearance

•Minimum eight (8) years of experience in IT, with at least

•Minimum five (5) years in a Solution Architect role for Federal Customers.

•Proven success in federal proposal development, with a track record of shaping solutions that win.

•Strong expertise in Azure Platform Services and product evolution (AI, OpenAI, Power Platform).

•Mastery of federal compliance standards (FISMA, FedRAMP, NIST) and how they drive design.

•Hands-on experience with DevSecOps pipelines (Jenkins, Terraform, OpenShift, Docker, Ansible, GitHub, Nexus).

•Strong understanding of Zero Trust and enterprise cybersecurity architectures.

•Exceptional communication skills—able to translate technical depth into accessible, persuasive narratives.

•Proficiency with solution design tools (Visio, PowerPoint, Project).

•Direct operational and workload development experience with Federal agencies in cloud/hybrid environments.
