Position Summary The Solution Technical Lead is the day-to-day technical authority embedded within product/scrum teams, responsible for translating architecture and engineering direction into executable sprint-level delivery. This role bridges the gap between enterprise architecture, engineering execution, and DevSecOps operations — ensuring technical quality, integration compliance, and delivery velocity across assigned products.

- Define solution-level roadmaps and maintain product-specific data models
- Guide product team execution by maintaining requirements, updating solutions, and ensuring alignment to planned KPIs during PI execution
- Oversee interface development and integration control, including ICR registration and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) for new integrations
- Ensure automated build and CI/CD pipeline capabilities are operational and compliant with VA TRM-approved tools
- Support ATO maintenance by ensuring all security scanning, remediations, and A&A artifact updates are incorporated into build planning timelines
- Provide technical leadership for Tier II/III troubleshooting and sustainment support
- Collaborate with the Enterprise/Solution Architect to ensure product-level work aligns with the HELM-wide SAFe Architectural Runway
- Support PI Planning, backlog refinement, and requirements elaboration; decompose Epics into Features and User Stories
- Provide technical input to Requirements Analysis Proposals (RAPs) including LOE estimates, skill set recommendations, and risk identification

- 7+ years of technical experience in software development and systems integration, with at least 2 years in a technical lead role on federal programs
- Demonstrated experience with SAFe Agile, DevSecOps, and hybrid SDLC methodologies
- Proficiency with approved development and collaboration tools (GitHub, Jira, ServiceNow)
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, VAEC) and containerization (Kubernetes, Docker)
- Familiarity with VA enterprise systems and integration patterns (FHIR, REST APIs, ESB/EAI, VistA, Oracle Health EHR)
- Knowledge of VA TRM, ATO/A&A processes, and VA DevSecOps Release Framework
- Strong communication skills; ability to translate complex technical concepts for VA stakeholders and non-technical audiences
- Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust
