Credence Management Solutions is a $500M+, 2,000-employee federal IT services firm, ranked in the Washington Technology Top 100. We position ourselves as an AI-native federal services company under the Credence.ai brand - *Trusted Human Expertise + Secure Agentic AI* - and AI/ML is one of our top technical differentiators alongside DevSecOps, Cloud, Data, and Cybersecurity. We are growing our practice supporting the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and we have an immediate need for a Principal Solutions Architect to help us build and scale that work. This is a foundational technical hire. As Principal Solutions Architect, you will own the end-to-end technical architecture for VA IT modernization programs - setting reference architectures, making platform and integration decisions, and validating solutions through delivery. You will partner directly with our VA practice lead (a former Deputy Chief Information Officer at VA) to shape our technical posture with VA customers. This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role. You are a player-coach: still hands-on with code, reference architectures, and proofs of concept, while also representing Credence technically in customer meetings, capture activity, and strategy discussions. This is not a people-management role today - as the practice grows, you will naturally become the technical center of gravity for the engineers we hire, mentoring by credibility rather than by org chart. While we scale up the VA practice, you will work from Credence's shared solutions architecture pool, supporting DoD delivery programs alongside your VA-focused capture work. Over time, your focus will shift primarily to VA as our pipeline converts. Credence runs a flat, empowered capture and delivery culture. Senior technical leaders are active partners in winning work, not just delivering it. You should expect to wear many hats and to spend a meaningful portion of your first 12 months contributing to pre-award activity - technical volumes, oral presentations, RFI responses, and customer discovery. Salary Range: $180,000.00 to $220,000.00 Job creation date: 2026-04-24 18:10:40.51 Credence Management Solutions is a $500M+, 2,000-employee federal IT services firm, ranked in the Washington Technology Top 100.
