As an A1M Principal Software Engineer (Systems Architect), you shape both strategic and tactical direction for the systems and teams you touch, across contracts and, where relevant, multiple centers, offices, or programs within the Technology Delivery practice. You operate with high autonomy, advocating for the right solutions rather than only the ones requested, and you're trusted to provide thought leadership and expert consultation, not just high quality delivery. You may act as a team lead, contribute fractionally across multiple contracts, or work as a focused individual contributor, but in every mode you're expected to anticipate opportunities and challenges using the breadth of your expertise, and to engage with people managers, practice directors, and leadership to help shape discipline growth, staffing, and organizational strategy.

Specific to this opening

As well, you will serve as a technical solutions advisor to the contract as a whole, advising on:

Development of Medicaid policy analysis tools

How to identify, build, and sustain process automation opportunities

Skills and responsibilities

Strategic Technical capabilities

Shape technical strategy across contracts and programs, translating business and policy goals into system direction that extends beyond any single project

Drive architectural decisions and own the resulting decision documentation and diagrams, ensuring the rationale is clear enough for others to act on

Evaluate and recommend solutions based on cost, leanness, and long-term maintainability, not just technical elegance, aiming for the best outcome a client can realistically sustain

Bring a product mindset to engineering work, understanding not just how something is built but why it matters to the people using it and the value it delivers to the client

Position and communicate technical work in terms that make sense within each client's specific goals and context, translating engineering decisions into business and mission value
