Job Description
Principal Solution Architect, AI & OSINT Systems
Bluestaq US External
Role Description As the Principal Solution Architect for Bluestaq's OSINT mission capability, you design the AWS systems that turn open-source data into mission intelligence. You work at the intersection of AWS cloud architecture, applied AI, and intelligence tradecraft. You translate analyst requirements into AWS service selection, model design, data pipelines, and deployment patterns that hold up in defense environments. This is an ownership role, not a coordination role. You are the technical authority for how these systems are built on AWS and where they run, and you are building that capability from the ground up. When the architecture holds under load and across classification levels, you are the reason. When it drifts, you are the first to flag it and the first to arrive with a plan. What You Will Own - Set the AWS reference architecture for AI and ML systems that ingest, enrich, and exploit open-source and publicly available information at scale. - Architect around the service gaps and parity differences between commercial AWS and the government and classified regions. - Build the AI stack on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker, including model access, Bedrock Guardrails, Knowledge Bases, and managed endpoints. - Design retrieval pipelines using Amazon OpenSearch, S3 data lakes for governed, least-privilege access. - Orchestrate workflows with AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda, and define CI/CD with infrastructure as code using AWS CDK and Terraform. - Extend services and capabilities to the edge for disconnected and DDIL operations and local model serving. - Define the deployment pattern for fully air-gapped enclaves, including mirrored registries, signed model imports, and local vector stores. - Define data movement patterns and cross-domain solutions across classification levels and coalition partners. - Apply OSINT tradecraft and operational security discipline to collection system design. - Own model governance for air-gapped and classified environments, including provenance, integrity verification, and update processes. - Partner with security and accreditation authorities to drive ATO and continuous ATO. - Partner with engineering directors and program leadership to align this architecture with Bluestaq's broader AI platform strategy, so it becomes a pattern other programs can build on. - Establish the practices and documentation that let Bluestaq scale this capability and bring engineers on as the mission grows. Qualifications - 10+ years designing and deploying production systems, including 5+ years architecting on AWS. - Deep AWS experience across compute, networking, IAM, storage, and data services, including AWS GovCloud. - Hands-on experience with Amazon Bedrock and Amazon SageMaker for production AI and ML workloads. - Experience with AWS networking and security, including VPC design, PrivateLink, Transit Gateway, IAM Identity Center, and AWS KMS. - Experience with infrastructure as code on AWS using AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or Terraform, plus CI/CD in restricted environments. - Experience deploying AWS workloads in disconnected, degraded, or air-gapped (DDIL) conditions, including AWS Snowball Edge or AWS Outposts. - Working knowledge of the differences between commercial AWS and the GovCloud, Secret, and Top Secret Regions. - Familiarity with vector search, retrieval-augmented generation, and embedding pipelines on AWS. - Working knowledge of OSINT and publicly available information collection, tradecraft, and analytic workflows. - Working knowledge of DoD compliance frameworks, including the Cloud Computing SRG, FedRAMP, and ITAR. - Current AWS Professional certification, such as Solutions Architect Professional. - Clear technical writing and the ability to brief senior leaders and decision-makers. - Prior OSINT analyst or PAI targeting experience in a DoD or Intelligence Community context. - Completion of a foundational intelligence analyst course, such as the DoD Intelligence Analyst Course, the Army 35F course, or ODNI Analysis 101, or a CDASA certification. Preferred Qualifications - AWS Machine Learning Specialty or Advanced Networking Specialty certification. - Experience with cross-domain solutions and multi-level security. - Strong grounding in containerization and orchestration with Kubernetes and Docker on AWS, such as EKS. - Experience with self-hosted model serving on local GPUs, such as vLLM or TGI, inside an enclave. - Familiarity with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and MITRE ATT&CK. - Experience supporting OCONUS or deployed DoD programs. Required Education - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field, plus 10+ years of relevant experience. Equivalent experience may substitute for the degree, with 4 additional years beyond the minimum required in lieu of a Bachelor’s degree. Required Location & Travel - This position is remote, open to candidates based in Colorado or Virginia, with up to 12 trips per year to customer, partner, or government sites, including secure facilities. Salary Range (CO) - $200,000 — $300,000 USD Clearance Requirement - This position may require the ability to obtain a TS/SCI Clearance. To be eligible for a security clearance, U.S. citizenship is required, and an employee must agree to participate in a background screen and credit check. Eligibility for a TS/SCI Clearance will be assessed as part of the onboarding process or based on programmatic needs.

A primary focus of the role is enterprise modernization, driving the adoption of cloud-native, composable, and platform-oriented architectures that enhance scalability, resilience, extensibility, and operational efficiency. The Enterprise Architect plays a key role in architectural governance, technology strategy, and solution assurance, ensuring that investments align with business objectives and industry best practices. - Supporting the Infrastructure Architect, design and evolve Azure infrastructure across our footprint (Azure Functions, API Management, Service Bus, SQL Managed Instance, Cosmos DB, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Entra ID, Power BI, and emerging AKS), emphasizing scalability, resilience, cost, IaC, and security. - Champion cloud-native, composable design — event-driven and API-first patterns, containerization/orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code — and produce reference architectures for integration, messaging, identity, observability, and environment topology. - Support data governance, lineage, and master data management practices as the data lakehouse foundation mature. - Partner with the Data Architect and data delivery team to stand up the foundational data lakehouse on Microsoft Fabric/Databricks/Snowflake, contributing patterns for ingestion, storage, modeling, and BI/analytics enablement (Power BI). - Apply modern integration patterns (APIs, event-driven services, microservices) where they advance the composable target state and support the Solution Architect with cross-domain designs, POCs, Data Contracts, and AI-assisted documentation. - Curate and clarify business and technical requirements, model business/system processes (e.g., BPMN), contribute to capability mapping, and facilitate Joint Application Design (JAD) sessions when needed. - Contribute, as a peer, to cross-domain architecture governance — shared standards, patterns, and guardrails — and act as a subject-matter expert helping delivery teams (employees and contractors) correctly apply established designs. - Evaluate and enable AI capabilities, including agentic AI and AI-assisted development, favoring enterprise-governed, self-hosted platforms. - Provide hands-on design and prototyping (POCs, infrastructure-as-code, reference implementations), perform SWOT/trade-off analyses, and partner with vendors to evaluate and integrate capabilities; sustained production feature development is not the primary expectation. - Design solutions that protect sensitive family, student, and financial data and meet security and compliance requirements, and articulate complex concepts clearly to technical and business audiences.
