[Hiring] Technical Architect @NetImpact Strategies

Role Description

NetImpact Strategies is seeking a hands-on Technical Architect to lead customer-facing application development and modernization initiatives. You will work directly with customers to understand their applications, business processes, data, integrations, and modernization objectives, then translate those needs into production-ready architecture and software.

The ideal candidate combines traditional software-engineering depth with hands-on experience building and deploying enterprise applications on Appian and/or Salesforce. This is not a platform-administration or low-code-only role. You will use modern AI-assisted development tools to generate and accelerate code, tests, documentation, and technical analysis while remaining accountable for the security, quality, maintainability, and production readiness of the final solution.

Responsibilities

• Lead customer discovery and translate business and mission requirements into solution architectures, technical designs, and implementation plans.
• Assess existing applications, workflows, data, integrations, infrastructure, and modernization constraints.
• Architect and build enterprise applications using Appian, Salesforce, traditional software technologies, cloud-native services, or hybrid approaches.
• Make informed build-versus-platform decisions based on business requirements, platform capabilities, scalability, security, maintainability, and cost.
• Design application components, process workflows, data models, APIs, integrations, identity controls, and deployment approaches.
• Use AI-assisted development tools to analyze applications and generate code, tests, documentation, designs, and modernization artifacts.
• Personally develop critical application components, integrations, APIs, prototypes, and reusable architectural patterns.
• Review, test, refine, and validate AI-generated code and technical artifacts before production release.
• Guide delivery teams through implementation, testing, deployment, production stabilization, and ongoing support.
• Communicate architectural decisions, risks, and technical tradeoffs clearly to customers, business stakeholders, and engineering teams.

Qualifications

• U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain the required federal suitability or security clearance.
• 10+ years of software development, application architecture, solution architecture, or technical-delivery experience.
• Demonstrated ownership of a significant application from requirements and design through production deployment and ongoing support.
• Strong hands-on engineering experience with Java, C#/.NET, Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or comparable enterprise technologies.
• Hands-on experience building and deploying production applications using Appian and/or Salesforce in a large enterprise environment.
• Experience designing APIs, integrations, distributed systems, data solutions, and secure enterprise applications.
• Experience integrating Appian or Salesforce applications with custom software, databases, identity providers, cloud services, and external APIs.
• Experience with cloud platforms, containers, CI/CD, automated testing, security tooling, and production observability.
• Practical experience using AI tools to generate, refactor, test, document, or analyze production software, with disciplined human validation.
• Strong customer-facing discovery, consulting, communication, technical leadership, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Production application-development experience with both Appian and Salesforce.
• Appian certification and experience with process models, records, interfaces, expression rules, integrations, security, and deployment.
• Salesforce experience with Apex, Lightning Web Components, Flows, platform events, APIs, data architecture, or application security.
• Experience determining when to use enterprise-platform capabilities versus custom Java, .NET, Python, or cloud-native development.
• Federal consulting experience and familiarity with FISMA, NIST, FedRAMP, or zero-trust principles.
• Experience with AI coding agents, agentic workflows, MCP, automated evaluation, guardrails, or AI development governance.

Benefits

• Your health comes first – we offer comprehensive medical, dental, & vision insurance that starts the first of the month after you join the team.
