Washington DC$218.8k - $300.9kFull-timePosted 3w ago
About the role
Harvey's first Solutions Architect dedicated to the public sector, serving as the technical lead on federal opportunities, designing secure deployments in government environments, and developing a scalable public-sector practice.
Responsibilities
- Lead technical discovery and solution design for federal prospects and customers — defense and civilian — working with legal, IT, security, acquisition, and program stakeholders.
- Design, document, and defend secure, compliant architectures for Harvey in government environments, including Harvey's FedRAMP High environment, identity and access patterns, integrations, and data-handling requirements (CUI, records retention, auditability).
- Own the technical thread on a focused portfolio of high-impact federal accounts, from first conversation through rollout, adoption, and expansion.
- Be the field-facing technical partner to Security & Trust on agency security reviews — FedRAMP High controls, DoD Impact Levels, ATO and authorization boundaries, NIST 800-53 — and translate them for program owners and counsel.
- Work with Legal Engineers and Customer Success Managers to turn agency workflows and legal or policy use cases into concrete solutions, reusable patterns, and implementation playbooks.
- Be the public-sector technical voice back into Harvey, synthesizing field feedback to inform roadmap, evaluation criteria, deployment options, and government-specific documentation.
- Represent Harvey's technical perspective in public-sector forums — customer workshops, working groups, and stakeholder briefings — helping agencies understand both the possibilities and the limits of current AI systems.
- Build the public-sector Solutions Architecture playbook — qualification, security review, deployment patterns, and enablement — so the practice can scale beyond one person.
Qualifications
- 7+ years in solutions architecture, sales engineering, forward-deployed engineering, or a similar customer-facing technical role.
- Direct experience selling to or supporting U.S. federal customers (DoD and/or civilian agencies) at a SaaS or cloud provider, including navigating agency security reviews and procurement.
- Working knowledge of federal compliance frameworks and how they shape deployment — FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, DoD Impact Levels, ATO processes — and the ability to explain them to CISOs and program managers alike.
- Hands-on depth in SaaS security and identity architecture: SSO/SAML, SCIM, encryption and key management, data residency, audit logging.
- Clear communication with technical and non-technical audiences — from program managers and attorneys to CISOs and enterprise architects — and credibility with senior public-sector stakeholders.
- Hands-on engagement with modern AI systems (LLMs, prompt design, evaluation, deployment patterns) and a desire to help agencies adopt them responsibly.
- Comfort operating in an emerging practice area: energized by ambiguity, willing to build new playbooks, motivated by real-world impact on public services.
