The Coast Guard's ability to recruit and sustain its workforce increasingly depends on the applications, automations, and dashboards behind its Accessions Service Center. We're looking for the architect who will own that technology end to end — someone who can turn recruiting and workforce priorities into secure, scalable solutions, set the standards a team delivers against, and become the technical voice senior Government leaders trust. This is a lead role, not a build-to-spec one.

As Technical Assent's lead Microsoft Power Platform Solution Architect , you'll own the architecture across Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and the integrations that tie them together — and you'll direct the engineers who deliver it. If you want real influence over technical strategy on a mission that matters, this is that seat. What you'll own Solution architecture.

Lead the end-to-end design of enterprise apps, automations, dashboards, integrations, and data-enabled workflows. Establish the governance, design patterns, security controls, and application lifecycle practices the whole engagement runs on. A trusted-advisor relationship.

Translate operational priorities into practical technology strategy.

Requirements

workshops, architecture reviews, and demos — and communicate options, risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical leaders. Delivery, from design to sustainment. Direct development, testing, deployment, enhancement, and sustainment across Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and integrated solutions.

Own quality: design and code reviews, release and configuration management, incident resolution, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement. Integration and modernization. Connect solutions with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, CRM and talent-acquisition systems, APIs, legacy applications, and enterprise data sources — and lead the modernization of the fragmented processes and manual workflows they replace.

Compliance by design.

The team and the practice. Provide day-to-day technical direction, coaching, and mentorship to journeyman and junior engineers, and collaborate with program managers, analysts, designers, and adoption specialists. Build the reusable patterns, accelerators, and governance assets that strengthen Technical Assent's delivery well beyond this contract.

What success looks like in your first year You'll have stood up clear Power Platform governance and architecture standards, established a delivery cadence the team can rely on, shipped solutions that visibly improve recruiting and workforce operations, and earned a standing invitation to the table when Coast Guard leaders are making technology decisions.
