Solutions Architect
Elkridge, MD
Full Time
ITS
Experienced
Lentech is seeking a high-Performance, multi-disciplinary team to lead a technical implementation of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Platform-based case management system (CMS). This mission-critical project and CMS supports legal services to children in support of the U.S. Government. U.S. Citizenship is required along with the ability to positively pass a public trust background investigation.
The primary implementation timeline occurs across the first 180 days of the project and moves into steady state operations for the remainder of the first year. A five-year follow-on contract is expected based on positive performance in the first year. The implementation follows an aggressive timeline divided into four key phases: Mobilization, Core Operations, Fully Functional Delivery, and Steady-state Operations.
This effort demands a collaborative team capable of maintaining operational continuity throughout the transition and into operations. You will be working with a primary legal team providing the CMS to the lawyers working each individual case. Candidates must be prepared to handle high-velocity delivery, strict data privilege boundaries, and the technical rigor required to support vulnerable populations.
Role Overview: The Solution Architect is a senior technical leadership role responsible for the overall design, environment strategy, and application lifecycle management (ALM) of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Case Management System.
Core Responsibilities:
- Environment and ALM Design: Lead the design and provisioning of the environment topology (Development, Test, UAT, and Production) and the ALM path, ensuring robust source control, managed solutions, and automated deployment pipelines.
- Integration Boundary Architecture: Design the integration boundary and reversible adapter strategy to isolate Government-specific endpoints, credentials, and schemas from the core system. This allows build work to proceed against mocks when live Government connectivity is blocked.
- Solution Governance: Confirm the "smallest supportable architecture" that meets all requirements while remaining configuration-led and avoiding unnecessary custom components.
- Technical Oversight: Provide oversight for the "configuration-first" build of core data models, automations, and the deadline engine.
- Governance Participation: Serve as a key member of the Change Control Board (CCB), reviewing and approving all baseline, configuration, and security-relevant changes.
- Security Alignment: Ensure the architecture adheres to a documented authorization boundary, identity model, and recovery design consistent with mandatory security artifacts.
- Architecture Artifacts: Solution architecture, environment/ALM design, process diagrams, workflow specifications, and the Data Model/ERD.
- Integration Controls: Interface control documents, canonical payload models, and mock specifications.
- Configuration Management: A versioned configuration-item inventory and baseline manifest covering all solutions, flows, and reports.
- Must be a US citizen
- Must hold a PT or be eligible
- Professional Certification: Microsoft Certified: Power Platform Solution Architect Expert.
- Experience: 10+ years of IT experience, with a focus on complex D365/Power Platform implementations.
- Specialized Knowledge: Deep expertise in Government Community Cloud (GCC) environments and implementing NIST SP 800-53 or FedRAMP-aligned security controls.
- Technical Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of Azure Integration Services, Azure DevOps, and CI/CD for Power Platform.
- Governance: Experience in "requirements-first" delivery, ensuring every design component traces back to the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM).
Project Context: The Solution Architect must ensure the system is supportable and deployable without reliance on undocumented vendor knowledge. This role is critical for managing the technical risk associated with all traced requirements and complex integrations under strict project deadlines.
