The Defense Sector at Leidos is seeking an accomplished Lead Technical Network Architect to join our team in Reston, VA. This is an exceptional opportunity to apply deep technical expertise and provide strategic leadership on a $900M complex program supporting a broad range of DoD customers.

In this role, the Lead Technical Network Architect will serve as the technical subject matter expert and primary advisor to NSIN Government leadership, guiding the delivery of services, integration of capabilities, and technical development across the program's full scope. The position includes occasional travel, which may involve international locations.

At Leidos, we don't want someone who "fits the mold"-we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, "what's next?" before the dust settles on "what's now."

If you're already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2... good. You'll fit right in.
