We specialize in supporting health, federal civilian, and national security missions, serving a diverse array of U.S. Departments.

We are looking for an experienced and visionary AWS API Solutions Architect to lead the design and implementation of secure, scalable, and cloud-native API solutions supporting digital modernization efforts across multiple FDA programs. This role is central to enabling seamless interoperability between mission-critical systems by leveraging the full spectrum of AWS services—from serverless architecture to event-driven integration patterns. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in API design, authentication frameworks, and DevOps practices, along with a strong understanding of compliance requirements in public sector environments. If you're passionate about building enterprise-grade solutions that drive innovation and resilience, we want you on our team. The position is remote. A-TEK is not currently sponsoring candidates for this position.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and build enterprise-scale APIs using AWS services including API Gateway, Lambda, AppSync, EventBridge, and Step Functions.
  • Develop reusable, standards-based integration patterns leveraging AWS best practices for serverless and microservices architecture.
  • Architect secure authentication and authorization flows (OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SAML) across API and backend services.
  • Lead the design and implementation of high-availability, fault-tolerant API services with global scalability.
  • Define and implement API lifecycle management best practices (versioning, testing, deployment, monitoring).
  • Collaborate closely with platform teams (Appian, Salesforce, ServiceNow) to ensure seamless system interoperability.
  • Build and optimize AWS CI/CD pipelines using CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CloudFormation, and related DevOps tooling.
  • Monitor and troubleshoot APIs using CloudWatch, X-Ray, and third-party observability platforms.
  • Guide technical teams through code reviews, performance tuning, and secure API architecture principles.
  • Participate in architecture review boards, design discussions, and sprint planning sessions.

Qualifications:

  • 8+ years of experience in solution architecture with a strong emphasis on APIs and integration.
  • 3+ years hands-on AWS experience architecting serverless and microservices solutions.
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional) required; AWS Developer certification a plus.
  • Strong understanding of REST, GraphQL, event-driven integration, and hybrid API environments.
  • Experience with Amazon Bedrock or other AWS GenAI services a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with platforms such as Appian, Salesforce, ServiceNow, or M365 for cross-system integration.
  • Working knowledge of compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, FISMA, HIPAA) in public sector environments.

A-TEK, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
