Description:
The Client Requires the services of 1 Enterprise Architect Specialist, hereafter referred to as Candidate(s), who meets the general qualifications of Enterprise Architect Specialist, Applications/Software Development and the specifications outlined in this document for the .
Scope Exceeding Standard Enterprise Architect RolesThe requested role goes beyond typical enterprise architecture functions in several material ways:
Statewide, Multi-Domain Architecture ResponsibilityThe role spans cybersecurity platforms, security telemetry, network visibility and detection, hybrid infrastructure, integration patterns, and resilience architecture across multiple participating entities. Decisions have cascading impacts across agencies, critical infrastructure, and incident response operations.
High-Consequence Decision AuthorityThe architect is expected to make and document architecture decisions that affect detection coverage, evidentiary integrity, operational continuity, and recovery capabilities. Errors or delays have direct operational and public-interest consequences.
Advanced Architecture Governance LeadershipThe role includes establishing and operating architecture governance mechanisms that balance speed and rigor. This includes resolving cross-organizational conflicts, adjudicating risk tradeoffs, and preventing architectural debt in a rapidly evolving environment.
Deep Technical Breadth with Hands-On ExpectationsThe work requires expert-level understanding across security telemetry pipelines, SIEM platforms, network detection architectures, cloud and virtualization platforms, and automation and integration tooling. The architect must be capable of both strategic design and practical validation with engineering teams.
Procurement and Vendor Evaluation InfluenceThe role directly supports high-value procurements and vendor evaluations, including requirements shaping, technical evaluation input, and architectural risk assessment. These activities materially affect long-term cost, interoperability, and sustainability.
