The Opportunity

Tomorrow.io is expanding its federal footprint across civilian and defense missions, including NOAA AWIPS, FAA next-generation air traffic control, and newly formed Tomorrow.io Federal.

We are seeking a senior Federal Solutions Architect to join us initially as a part-time independent contractor. This role is ideal for an experienced federal technologist who wants to :

  • Stay hands-on as an individual contributor
  • Apply deep federal architecture and compliance expertise
  • Make high-impact contributions without people management (for now)
  • Help shape a growing federal practice with a clear opportunity to transition into a full-time role next year

This is a builder role, not a maintenance role.

What You'll Do

Own Federal Solution Architecture (IC-Focused)

  • Act as the senior technical IC for federal programs including NOAA AWIPS, DoD weather systems, and future classified and unclassified deployments
  • Design and document end-to-end architectures : system diagrams, data flows, integrations, security controls, and CONOPS
  • Lead Compliance & Security Architecture

  • Define and implement technical approaches aligned with FedRAMP, RMF, FISMA, ITAR, CUI, and DoD IL5 / IL6
  • Serve as a hands-on technical contributor during ATO processes, audits, and security reviews
  • Partner with Integrators & Government Stakeholders

  • Engage directly with system integrators (e.g., SAIC, Leidos) and government technical teams
  • Translate mission and operational requirements into deployable, compliant architectures
  • Bridge Product Engineering & Federal Reality

  • Work closely with Tomorrow.io's global engineering teams to ensure architectures are feasible within the product roadmap
  • Adapt commercial platforms to meet federal operational and compliance constraints
  • Support Capture & Growth Efforts (As Needed)

  • Provide technical input for RFIs, RFPs, solution narratives, and architecture diagrams
  • Collaborate with Business Development and Capture teams to shape technical strategy early
  • Note : This role is intentionally scoped as a senior IC position. Team leadership and hiring may become part of the role if / when it transitions to full-time, but are not required initially.

    What You Bring

    Federal Architecture Expertise

  • Proven experience architecting and delivering systems in federal civilian and / or DoD environments
  • Strong background in cloud infrastructure, data platforms, APIs, and operational systems
  • Compliance & Security Fluency

  • Hands-on experience with FedRAMP, RMF, FISMA, ITAR, CUI, DoD IL5 / IL6
  • Ability to design architectures that balance performance, security, and regulatory rigor
  • Credibility & Independence

  • Comfortable operating as a trusted technical expert with government customers and integrators
  • Able to work independently, define structure, and deliver with minimal oversight
  • Builder Mindset

  • Experience standing up new environments, programs, or federal capabilities
  • Enjoys early-stage work, ambiguity, and shaping technical direction
  • Clear Communicator

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Able to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Required Qualifications

  • U.S. Citizen
  • U.S. based (Washington, DC highly preferred; remote within U.S. considered)
  • Active or eligible TS / SCI clearance
  • Prior experience supporting DoD and / or federal civilian systems
  • If you have reached this point and you are super excited but not sure you check all the boxes - we still want to speak with you! Your passion is priceless. Other things can be learned.
