Summary:

Goldschmitt and Associates is seeking a Vice President of Solutions Engineering and Technology to provide senior technical leadership across our federal programs, customer initiatives, and commercial software products.

This role leads the development of technology solutions for complex business, operational, and mission challenges. The Vice President works directly with customers, program leaders, product teams, technical architects, engineers, cybersecurity personnel, and business stakeholders to understand requirements, evaluate existing environments, design future-state solutions, and guide initiatives from concept through implementation.

The position combines executive-level technical leadership with hands-on solution engineering. The successful candidate must be able to move comfortably between customer conversations, business processes, system workflows, application and integration design, cloud architecture, security considerations, and implementation planning.

This is broader than a traditional cloud architecture or DevOps role. The Vice President will evaluate how people, processes, applications, data, infrastructure, security requirements, and external systems work together and develop practical solutions that can be successfully implemented and operated in complex enterprise and federal environments.

The position supports both Goldschmitt technology initiatives and billable customer engagements, including modernization efforts, external-facing portals, secure-system integrations, workflow design, cloud solutions, enterprise integrations, technical discovery, and complex cross-system initiatives.

This position is part-time and remote, and the anticipated hourly rate is $125.00 per hour. 

Job Duties and Responsibilities:

Solutions Engineering and Technical Leadership
  • Lead solution engineering for complex customer, product, and enterprise technology initiatives
  • Translate business, mission, and operational challenges into practical technical solutions and implementation approaches

  • Identify technical risks, dependencies, constraints, and integration challenges early and develop approaches to address them
  • Provide technical leadership during complex implementations and help resolve issues that cross organizational, system, or technology boundaries
  • Establish and promote effective solution engineering practices, reusable approaches, and technical standards

  • Define integration approaches between external-facing systems and internal applications, services, databases, APIs, and data exchanges
  • Support modernization, automation, and workflow-improvement initiatives involving existing federal systems
  • Facilitate technical working sessions involving customer stakeholders, program personnel, system owners, cybersecurity personnel, architects, engineers, and developers
  • Develop technical documentation and solution artifacts needed to support customer decision-making, security review, development, implementation, and operations
