About this role
Pega Architect
The Opportunity
At a certain point, software design can start to look like clairvoyance. You’ve developed so many organization-wide software architectures that you can not only orchestrate the best solution for any technical challenge, but you can also anticipate future concerns. That’s because you’re a Pega architect with a solid background in solution architecture, integration patterns, data flows, and enterprise application design. At Booz Allen, you can use those skills to improve the software technology supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs within the Community Care product line.
On our team, you’ll translate your customer’s software needs and future goals into a plan by defining solution architecture, integration patterns, data flows, and nonfunctional requirements aligned to enterprise standards. You’ll evaluate design options, document tradeoffs, and guide implementation through architecture reviews and technical decisions. You’ll use architecture documentation, diagrams, interface specifications, technical standards, and SDLC governance practices to design effective Pega and enterprise software solutions.
Your technical expertise will be vital as you establish security, scalability, availability, observability, and maintainability practices across environments. You’ll collaborate with product owners, analysts, developers, testers, infrastructure teams, and other stakeholders to resolve cross-system dependencies and support high-quality releases.
In this role, you’ll directly impact Veterans’ healthcare by helping deliver secure, reliable, and maintainable Community Care solutions. With your advanced technical expertise, mentoring, and opportunities to learn new tools and skills, you’ll guide teams that develop the best solutions for our customers. Work with us as we transform the future of technology supporting Veterans’ healthcare for the better.
