We convert complex information and operational systems into decisive outcomes, giving public institutions and critical enterprises the tools to move faster, see clearer, and act first in an increasingly contested world.\nWe are not a consulting firm and not a systems integrator. Every Orbis team is built around practitioners who have operated at the mission edge, and every engagement is judged on one thing: whether it produces working capability, not slide decks. Solutions forged from experience; that is how we build, and it is how we hire.\nJob Summary\nOrbis is seeking a Senior Integration Architect to lead integration delivery within one of three rotating integration teams supporting an ongoing program for a government client in the Middle East. In this role, you will design, build, deploy, and validate data integrations (sensors, C2 systems, and operational feeds) across Orbis data governance and data analysis products, driving assignments from requirement through production deployment in close coordination with your team.\nA critical part of this role is working directly with customer engineering and operations teams to map their network topology, data sources, and system dependencies before integration work begins; this discovery is not a preliminary step that gets handed off, it is a continuous responsibility that drives every design and deployment decision. You will mentor Integration Engineers on your team, serve as the first escalation point for technical issues, and maintain integration quality across your assigned domain. This role carries direct responsibility for the orchestration and management of both on-premises data platform environments and cloud-connected infrastructure. Software-layer issues are escalated to the platform product team.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role for someone ready to shape how integration work gets done, raise the technical bar of the team around them, and ensure the platform infrastructure underpinning that work is properly configured, connected, and maintained.\nTravel: This is a remote role with extended travel to the Middle East, including time spent in geopolitical hot zonesup to 40% of the time. Please apply if you are willing to meet this requirement.\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nLead full-lifecycle integration delivery for assigned data sources in coordination with your team: requirements analysis, connector design, implementation, testing, deployment, and validation in the target environment\nLead customer technical discovery as a core responsibility: work directly with customer engineering and operations teams to map their network topology, data sources, system dependencies, and operational constraints; this understanding is the foundation that integration design and deployment decisions are built on and cannot be delegated or skipped\nDrive technical decisions when integrations don't fit established patterns; document decisions and rationale for the team and contribute to shared architectural standards\nMentor Integration Engineers through code review, pairing, and direct feedback; serve as the first point of escalation before the team lead\nDesign and build custom data connectors and integration plugins (producer bridges, operators, consumer bridges) for complex or undocumented source systems across air, land, maritime, air defense, space, and cyber domains\nOwn the orchestration and management of on-premises data platform environments (cluster configuration, service health, data connectivity) and cloud-connected infrastructure (resource provisioning, hybrid connectivity, access controls) across the program's deployment surface\nDeploy and validate integrations across customer environments (cloud-native, on-premises, and tactical edge) using infrastructure orchestration tooling; ensure integrations work in theater, not just in dev\nStand up and configure platform nodes and on-premises data platform components using established runbooks; validate cluster health, data platform connectivity, and configuration correctness post-deployment\nDiagnose and resolve cross-system integration failures under operational pressure; distinguish integration-layer issues from platform-layer issues and drive resolution with the team\nTriage platform issues: determine whether a problem is in the program's integration code or in the platform itself, and file high-quality bugs with reproductions when it's the latter; software-layer issues route to the platform product team\nContribute reusable integration patterns, runbooks, and onboarding documentation to the program-wide integrator playbook; flag candidates for upstream contribution to the platform product team\nProvide clear, solution-oriented status updates to the team lead; frame problems with proposed approaches rather than open questions\nSupport customer technical exchanges within your integration domain; explain integration approaches to customer engineering teams without requiring the team lead to translate\nRequired Qualifications\n5-8 years of professional software engineering experience with a focus on system integrations, data pipelines, and distributed data platforms\nProficiency in Go (preferred) or Python for integration development\nDemonstrated ability to drive an integration from requirement through production deployment as a team lead and technical decision-maker\nHands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code and deployment tooling (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) to provision, configure, and validate platform environments\nWorking knowledge of on-premises big data platforms and their operational characteristics (e.g., Hadoop, Spark, Hive, Presto); ability to configure, validate, and triage at the platform layer\nExperience deploying and integrating within cloud-native environments (e.g., GCP VPC, BigQuery, Dataflow, GKE); familiarity with cloud resource lifecycle and connectivity patterns\nExperience connecting on-premises and cloud environments under security constraints (e.g., Cloud Interconnect, Private Service Connect, VPN); ability to validate and troubleshoot hybrid data paths\nFamiliarity with access control, identity management, and network security controls in multi-environment deployments (e.g., IAM, VPC Service Controls)\nExperience debugging complex, cross-system integration failures in production or near-production environments\nTrack record of mentoring junior engineers through code review, pairing, or technical guidance\nStrong collaboration and communication skills in distributed, remote, cross-functional teams\nComfort operating as the technical point of contact in ambiguous, fast-moving environments\nDesired Qualifications\nProven ability to lead customer technical discovery: mapping network environments, identifying data sources and system dependencies, and translating operational requirements into integration design decisions\nFamiliarity with defense data standards and protocols: ASTERIX, Cursor on Target (CoT), STANAG, radar UDP\nTrack record of designing integration patterns for undocumented or poorly documented source systems\nBackground with military, law enforcement, or intelligence community operations and organizations\nBackground supporting international programs with distributed, cross-cultural teams rotating through operational environments\nUnderstanding of service mesh concepts, mTLS, and zero-trust network architectures\nFamiliarity with edge-native deployment patterns and constrained operational environments\nBackground in customer enablement, technical training, or knowledge transfer in field environments\nFluency with AI-assisted development tooling (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, or equivalents) as part of daily engineering practice\nPhysical Requirements\nThe following describes the physical demands of this position. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions in accordance with the ADA.\nSedentary Work: Primarily performs work in a seated position for extended periods; occasionally required to stand, walk, or move within the work area\nFine Motor Skills: Regularly required to use hands and fingers to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and standard office equipment\nVision: Must be able to read and view a computer screen for extended periods; close vision and ability to adjust focus required\nCommunication: Must be able to communicate clearly and effectively in person, via telephone, and through video conferencing platforms; ability to hear and understand spoken information in a professional setting required\nLifting: Occasionally required to lift and/or move items up to 25 pounds (e.g., files, documents, office supplies)\nConcentration: Must be able to maintain sustained focus and attention to detail in a professional office or hybrid work environment\nTravel: Extended travel to the Middle East, including time spent in geopolitical hot zonesup to 40% of the time.\nOrbis Benefits\nBeyond the opportunity to work alongside practitioners who have operated at the mission edge, joining Orbis means real ownership over outcomes that matter; the chance to build technology that gives the United States Government and its allies a genuine decision advantage, not just another dashboard. From competitive retirement matching to a PTO policy that encourages real time off, we're committed to creating an environment where our team can do their best work and still have a life outside of it.\nOur comprehensive benefits package is designed to meet the diverse needs of our employees and their families. A full list of benefits is shared with candidates following an initial conversation with our HR team, so you'll have a clear picture of the support and resources available to you as part of the Orbis team.\nOrbis Locations\nOrbis works in whatever arrangement the mission requires. Depending on the role, that might mean five days a week on a customer site, full-time in one of our offices, a hybrid schedule, or fully remote work; our team is spread across 25 states and four countries to match. We make sure every team member has the tools and access needed to do the work, wherever that work happens.\nTravel is common across many Orbis roles, particularly those supporting customer missions in the field.\nOrbis is headquartered in McLean, VA, with additional office locations in Taipei, Taiwan, and Canberra, Australia.\nOrbis is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. We are committed to providing a work environment free of discrimination and harassment, and we make employment decisions based on merit, \nqualifications, and business need.
