The Microsoft Cloud Solution Architect / Technical Lead will serve as the overall technical authority for a Federal information technology modernization project involving document processing, structured data extraction, workflow automation, artificial intelligence, and enterprise search. The individual will own the end-to-end solution architecture and provide technical direction across the Microsoft cloud platform, application components, data services, security controls, integrations, and deployment activities. 

The Solution Architect will design and oversee the integration of SharePoint, Microsoft 365 Government services, Azure Government, Azure AI services, Azure AI Search, Power Platform, identity, workflow, data storage, monitoring, and user-interface components. The individual will ensure that the project’s specialized AI, document-processing, search, data, and security capabilities operate as a cohesive and supportable solution. 

The Solution Architect will also ensure that the Government’s designated content repository remains the authoritative system of record. The individual will preserve applicable permissions, records controls, and data protections while ensuring that the solution operates within approved Government cloud environments. When preferred services or features are unavailable, restricted, or not authorized, the Solution Architect will recommend practical alternatives that preserve the required functionality.
