Solutions Architect, Regulated Markets

About the role

Vasion is hiring a Solutions Architect for our regulated and federal business, where the hardest technical problems in our portfolio live. You will be the person who owns the defensible technical answer when a federal customer asks whether something can work inside their authentication, network isolation, and accreditation constraints, and who defines the path forward when the standard answer does not apply.

This is a depth role rather than a breadth role. Architectural fluency without current, detailed product knowledge does not survive contact with a regulated deployment, so we are looking for someone who goes deep on the product and stays there as the portfolio evolves.

What you'll do

• Build depth on new capabilities ahead of demand: Reach working depth on newly released capability before customers force the question, surfacing integration gaps and unsupported edge cases while they can still be addressed.
• Be the technical authority on federal and regulated requirements: Own the answer on whether our architecture meets a customer's authentication, authorization, and accreditation requirements, and clearly state where current product capability ends.
• Codify the patterns that keep recurring: Turn the most complex recurring problems into reusable reference designs, so future engagements inherit proven solutions rather than rediscovering them.
• Assess technical risk and manage it: Evaluate risk posture, architecture constraints, and deployment feasibility on the highest-complexity opportunities, then define the mitigations, sequencing, or architectural changes that make the solution deployable.
• Design beyond the standard template: Define architecture, integration points, and cutover approach for environments that exceed what standard delivery patterns cover.
• Protect context across the handoff: Supply the technical assumptions, constraints, integration points, and success criteria into joint technical kickoffs, so nothing essential is lost between the deal team and delivery.
• Execute the hardest cutovers: Take the customer environment through cutover where complexity exceeds what standard delivery supports, rather than handing a design over and stepping away.
• Diagnose root cause on escalations: Supply the definitive technical diagnosis when a deployment stalls or a production issue surfaces, separating root cause from reported symptom.
• Convert friction into fixes: Classify what you encounter by root cause, then drive recurring patterns into product input, service offerings, or enablement with named owners, so the same problem does not return to you a third time.

Qualifications

• Deep enterprise deployment experience: Eight or more years deploying infrastructure software into complex enterprise or public sector environments, with clear ownership of outcomes rather than handoffs.
• Identity and authentication depth: Strong working command of SAML, SSO, directory integration, certificate-based authentication, and common identity providers.
• Networking fundamentals under pressure: DNS, TLS and certificate chains, firewalls, proxies, VLANs, and the ability to isolate a problem in a network you did not design and cannot fully see.
• Hyperscale, virtualization, and appliance platforms: Practical command of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, or comparable hyperscalers), virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V, or comparable), and virtual appliance deployment, sizing, and troubleshooting.
• Linux administration and scripting: Comfortable at the command line, reading logs, and automating with PowerShell, Python, or Bash.
• Demonstrated learning velocity: Evidence of acquiring new technical domains to real depth, since this portfolio will expand under you.
• Customer-facing composure: Proven ability to hold a technical conversation with a frustrated customer under real pressure, and to keep it factual and forward-moving.
• Judgment about what generalizes: A track record of turning one-off solutions into reusable assets rather than solving the same problem repeatedly.

Preferred Qualifications

• Public sector deployment experience: Direct work with PIV and CAC authentication, FedRAMP authorized environments, DoD networks, or government cloud regions.
• Print infrastructure or output management background: Experience with enterprise print management, print protocols, or document output platforms.
• Workflow automation platforms: Exposure to document workflow, process automation, or integration platforms.
• Other regulated industry experience: Healthcare, financial services, or comparable environments with badge-based authentication, strict change control, or audit-driven constraints.
• Cloud and endpoint breadth: Azure, AWS, or GCP, plus VDI platforms and endpoint management tooling.
• Agentic AI acumen

Benefits

• Flexible work environment
• Vacation Bonus
• Flexible paid time off
• Paid parental leave
• Competitive pay
• A full suite of traditional benefits
• Training/Advancement opportunities
• 401k with company match and immediate vesting
• Financial wellness education
• Company-contributed HSA
• On-site perks include gym, pickleball, snacks & drinks, arcade, theater room, etc.
