Technical Business Development Lead

Description & Requirements

About Maximus Federal

Maximus Federal delivers mission-critical technology at scale for federal health, civilian and defense customers. Within our CTO organization, we architect and operate:

• Cloud Modernization (serverless, containerization, edge)
• AI/ML & Data Analytics (computer vision, NLP, streaming pipelines)
• Cybersecurity & DevSecOps (FIPS-compliant clouds, IaC security)
• Mission Threads & Accelerators (HPC clusters, 5G/Edge Proofs-of-Concept)

Role Overview

As our Technical Business Development Lead, you will drive technology forward capture of high-value federal opportunities by:

1. Scoping and sizing cutting-edge solutions (e.g., Kubernetes-based microservices on AWS/GovCloud, Azure Government, Google Cloud's Vertex AI)
2. Designing architectures with expert teams around AI/ML model ops (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Kubeflow), data lakes (AWS Lake Formation, Azure Data Lake), and secure pipelines (Terraform, Ansible, GuardDuty, Sentinel)
3. Partnering with mission owners to align on Mission Threads (e.g., TXM, Health Clinical) and CTO Accelerators (e.g., AI, Data, CX)

• Engage in technical deep dives with agency SMEs to unearth gaps best addressed by Maximus's accelerators.

• Capture Strategy & Win Planning
• Lead heat-mapping of agency IT roadmaps (e.g., DoD RMF, NIST SP 800-53 rev5, FedRAMP High).
• Define "Gold Standard" solution demos - containerized AI inference, fully automated IaC pipelines, FIPS-validated encryption at rest/in transit.

2. Solution Architecture & Proposal Development

• Technical Storyboarding:
• Translate requirements into detailed architecture diagrams, schedules, and workflows.
• Co-author solution docs covering scalability, observability, and security guardrails.
• Proof-of-Concept Leadership:
• Orchestrate rapid POCs (4-6 week sprints) demonstrating: generative AI summarization of secure datasets, automated compliance scans, or real-time telemetry ingestion at ?10 GB/s.

3. Technical Stakeholder Engagement

• Executive & SME Briefings:
• Present roadmaps and TCO analyses at the C-suite level, tying technology choices back to mission outcomes (e.g., 5 faster patient triage, 99.99% system availability).
• Facilitate hands-on workshops on serverless security patterns, GPU-accelerated inference, or zero-trust network segmentation.

4. Strategic Partnerships & Alliances

• Vendor Collaboration:
• Cultivate deep relationships with AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Palantir, ServiceNow, Databricks and others - negotiating co-sell engagements and accessing early-release features.
• Integrate complementary accelerators to differentiate capture strategies.

Job-Specific Minimum Requirements:

• BS/MS or similar education in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering or equivalent technical experience
• 7+ years in federal IT development or technical roles, directly winning ?$50M in cloud, AI/ML, security or data analytics awards
• Expert understanding of federal procurement (FAR, DFARS, OTAs) and vehicles including CIO-SP3, Alliant 2, SEWP V
• Hands-on fluency in:
• Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS GovCloud/Azure Government/Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes (EKS/AKS/GKE), Terraform/Ansible
• AI/ML & Data: TensorFlow/PyTorch, Kubeflow/MLOps, Kafka/Glue/Databricks, DataOps pipelines
• Security & DevSecOps: NIST 800-53, FedRAMP High, CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, ArgoCD), OPA/Gatekeeper, Vault

• Proven ability to map mission requirements to technical architectures and measurable KPIs
