Summary
We are looking for a Solution Architect Lead - D365/Power Platform/Azure (Min 20+ Yrs. Exp) HYBRID (Webcam Interview).
POSITION DESCRIPTION
DIRECT CLIENT Position
Number of positions: 1
Length: 12 Months+
Work Address: Washington DC
Immediate interviews Webcam Interview
This position offers a hybrid work arrangement, requiring four days onsite and one day remote each week.
The Resource will work under the direct supervision of the District DevOps Manager.
Scope of Work and Responsibilities
3.1 Solution and Platform Architecture
Own and maintain the authoritative STAAND architecture: logical and physical data models, Dataverse table and relationship design, solution segmentation, environment strategy, and integration topology.
Personally build in the platform - model-driven app configuration, plug-ins and custom APIs (C#/.NET), PCF controls, TypeScript/JavaScript client extensions, Power Fx, and plug-in pipeline optimization.
Establish and enforce architecture standards, design patterns, naming conventions, and technical debt registers across all modules and portals.
Chair design authority review for significant changes; sign off on solution designs before build.
Diagnose deep platform issues: performance degradation, API and service-protection limits, plug-in execution ordering, solution layering conflicts, storage growth, portal rendering.
Maintain architecture artifacts sufficient to satisfy CCWIS review, federal audit, and District IT governance.
3.2 Cross-Cloud Architecture: GCC and Commercial Azure
Design, document, and harden the boundary between the GCC Dynamics/Power Platform tenant and Azure commercial-cloud services.
Define what data may traverse that boundary, in what form (de-identified, tokenized, aggregated, or full record), under what authorization, and with what logging - including explicit architectural boundaries for protected data categories such as Medicaid Enrollment.
Implement cross-tenant identity, managed identities, service principals, Key Vault secret lifecycle, private networking, and API gateway patterns.
Maintain a defensible position on data residency and FedRAMP authorization boundaries for every commercial-cloud service in use, and present that position to auditors and federal reviewers.
3.3 AI and Agentic Development
Serve as hands-on technical lead for AI capability, including CORA and its expansion into agentic workflows.
Design, build, evaluate, and productionize agents in Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio: tool and function calling, orchestration and multi-agent patterns, grounding and retrieval over Dataverse and document stores, prompt and context engineering, structured output, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
Own AI evaluation discipline: golden datasets, automated evals, groundedness and hallucination measurement, regression testing on model or prompt changes, latency and cost benchmarking, controlled rollout.
Manage the AI model lifecycle - track model releases and deprecations, run comparative evaluation before adopting a new model, execute migrations without regression to worker-facing quality.
Implement responsible AI controls appropriate to a child welfare setting: content safety, PII/PHI handling, bias and fairness testing, explainability, audit logging of AI-influenced actions, and clear framing of AI output as decision support rather than decision making.
Support predictive and analytic capability aligned to agency mission priorities, ensuring models are validated, monitored for drift, and governed.
Own the security architecture of STAAND end to end; serve as technical counterpart to the agency security, and District privacy officials.
Apply and evidence compliance with OCTO IT policies (octo.dc.gov/page/it-policies), NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP, HIPAA, 45 CFR 1355 (CCWIS), Title IV-E confidentiality, and District data protection law including DC Code 28-3851 et seq. breach notification obligations.
Design and enforce least privilege: Dataverse business unit and role architecture, row/column-level security, portal web roles and table permissions, privileged access management, separation of duties for finance and eligibility functions.
Lead secure SDLC: threat modeling, secure code review, static and dynamic analysis, dependency and supply-chain scanning, secrets management, remediation tracking with severity-based SLAs.
Support penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, and audit response; own STAAND-assigned POA&M items.
Contribute to incident response, continuity, and disaster recovery planning; validate RTO/RPO through periodic exercises.
3.5 Continuous Improvement and Release Management
Own the STAAND change pipeline from enhancement request through design, build, test, release, and post-release verification, including published release notes and coordination with the CISA training organization.
Plan and execute against Microsoft's Dynamics 365 biannual release waves and Power Platform service updates: early-access testing in a dedicated environment, deprecation and breaking-change assessment, and a documented impact and remediation plan per wave.
Evaluate new platform, Azure, and AI capabilities against the STAAND roadmap; run structured proofs of concept and make evidence-based adopt / trial / hold / retire recommendations.
Maintain a rolling multi-year technical roadmap balancing stabilization, platform health, security, federal compliance, and innovation.
Drive performance, reliability, and cost optimization - capacity and license consumption, Azure spend, storage tiering, API efficiency.
Maintain and report the technical issues and risk register with mitigation owners and timelines.
3.6 Data, Interoperability, and Federal Reporting
Own the data architecture supporting AFCARS, NCANDS, NYTD, CFSR, and Title IV-E reporting, including lineage, quality rules, exception handling, and submission validation.
Design and maintain bi-directional exchanges with District and external partners consistent with CCWIS interoperability requirements.
Establish automated data quality controls, duplicate person detection and merge integrity, and reconciliation with legacy records.
3.7 Stakeholder and Senior Leadership Engagement
Translate between social work practice and technical architecture; observe real workflow with intake workers, investigators, case managers, placement staff, and fiscal teams before designing for it.
Brief the IT Steering Committee Members, CIO, STAAND Product Leadership, leadership, Council oversight staff, court monitors, and ACF/Children's Bureau reviewers, calibrating to each audience.
Serve as principal technical liaison to Microsoft (Industry Solutions Delivery, Customer Success, product groups) and to implementation and support vendors; hold them to architectural and quality standards.
Author decision memos, architecture decision records, briefing decks, and federal reporting content requiring minimal editing.
Mentor staff and other contract resources; build internal capability and reduce single-point-of-failure dependency.
