Solutions Architect (Public Sector) at Niantic Spatial | LAYIQ

Customer architecture & technical leadership
Own technical engagement and success for assigned federal accounts and programs, from discovery through operational implementation and transition.
Design end-to-end solution architectures (logical and physical) covering deployment, scaling, reliability, security, and accreditation for federal and classified environments.
Lead technical workshops to capture mission objectives, requirements, and success criteria, and translate them into implementation-ready designs tied to measurable mission outcomes.
Advise on architectural tradeoffs across cloud, hybrid, on-prem, tactical edge, and air-gapped/classified deployments, and deliver compelling capability demos for customers and at conferences and symposiums.
Capture shaping, RFI/RFP response & proposal solutioning
Engage early in the capture lifecycle to shape technical requirements and position Niantic Spatial capabilities ahead of formal RFI/RFP release.
Serve as primary technical author for RFIs, RFPs, CSOs, OTAs, and SBIR/STTR responses, coordinating across engineering and product to shape compliant, compelling architectures and customer narratives.
Lead technical proposal content — solution approach, architecture, integration plan, security posture, risk/mitigation, accreditation, and compliance matrices, including rapid phased approaches.
Partner with Capture/BD on technical win themes, differentiators, diagrams, competitive positioning, and effort assumptions grounded in repeatable delivery models.
Integration into existing federal ecosystems
Ensure solutions integrate into customer environments — identity and access management, cross-domain solutions, data platforms, GIS/geo services, enterprise integration patterns, observability, and device constraints.
Define integration patterns, APIs, and data flows; document operational runbooks, deployment/upgrade approaches, and sustainment models suited to federal operational environments.
Account for cybersecurity and compliance requirements (e.g., RMF packages, ATO processes, DoD Cloud Computing SRG IL2/4/6, and TS-aligned environments) in architectural designs.
Product feedback loop
Communicate customer needs, gaps, and requirements to Product Management and Engineering, influencing roadmap and prioritization with evidence from engagements and proposals.
Translate recurring requirements and deployment patterns into reusable baselines, highlighting opportunities for productization that accelerate capture and delivery.
Delivery partnership
Collaborate with delivery teams and partners to ensure architectures are implemented as designed; support escalations, tuning, accreditation, and post-launch adoption.
Ensure solutions transition from pilot/prototype into sustained operational use, with clear documentation, ownership, and explicit boundaries between productized platform and bespoke services work.
Maintain a set of repeatable demos optimized for DoW/IC/Civilian prospects; use demo feedback to inform proposals and the product roadmap.
