About

As an Architect you will define and maintain the technical vision while staying deeply hands-on — writing
production-ready code alongside your teams across several of our SaaS products. This role is approximately 50-75% hands-on development and 25-50% strategic leadership, architecture, and mentoring.

What You Will do

Hands-On Development (50-75% of the role)

• Write production-ready code alongside your teams — this is a hands-on role, not a purely advisory one
• Design and implement complex features, services, and platform capabilities in C#/.NET
• Conduct architecture and code reviews across multiple product teams (e.g., Onboard, eForms, Attract, Insight), ensuring design consistency and quality
• Maintain code quality standards using static analysis and security scanning tools (e.g., SonarQube, Mend); champion clean code practices and drive remediation of findings
• Build, optimize, and maintain CI/CD pipelines; drive containerization efforts using Docker and Kubernetes
• Diagnose and resolve critical production issues related to architecture or design flaws, performing root cause analysis and driving long-term fixes (e.g., application pool crashes, connection pooling issues, database deadlocks)
• Champion observability and monitoring practices across teams, including integration of telemetry and performance monitoring tools

• Own, define, and maintain the overall vision and strategic direction for architecture within the NEOGOV suite of products Research emerging technologies and industry practices; build and present a technical roadmap with concrete modernization milestones (e.g., framework upgrades, architecture transitions)
• Ensure the SaaS platform is optimized for performance and scalability, addressing bottlenecks and ensuring the system can handle growth in users and data
• Design and implement architectures and technologies with security at the forefront, ensuring compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and standards such as FedRAMP
• Collaborate with engineering leads across teams to resolve cross-team technical dependencies and break down organizational silos around system interoperability
• Mentor and guide architects and senior developers, promoting a culture of excellence and continuous improvement
• Lead and champion Agile engineering practices across teams, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, and iterative delivery
