Background Qualifications:

NFRs for GenAI Architecture and Enablement(using assisted workflows; Story Weaver, Hygiene Assessments): this skillset includes hands-on with things like Response Latency, Hallucination Rates, Context Window Utilization, Model Drift Monitoring, Model Interrogation…

• Strong GenAI technical fluency (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, model selection, prompt engineering, agent patterns).

• Experience embedding AI in SDLC, including automation of NFR validation, architecture model interrogation, and agent-assisted workflows (Story Weaver, hygiene assessments).

• Knowledge of AI augmented observability and integrating AI into inner/outer SDLC feedback loops.

• Understanding of enterprise architecture guardrails and governance (AI-enabled specs, decision templates, compliance flows).

Architecture as Code (AaC)

• Require standardized on Structurizr and the C4 model, so contractors must have:

• Hands on Structurizr experience; including workspace definition, DSL, and diagram automation.

• “Architecture as Code” expertise—automating architecture artifacts and integrating into DevOps/CMDB pipelines.

• Ability to interrogate architecture models with LLMs, build scripts, and support conversational UI interactions.

• Understanding modernized architecture patterns (DMZ/CDE 2.0, Archetype 2.0, NGDC placement patterns). Governance, Compliance & Metadata

• Strong understanding of NFRs, ARB/SRP requirements, enterprise standards

• CMDB integration, metadata synchronization, automated governance enforcement

• Ability to design systems that embed compliance and controls into pipelines.

• Hands on Structurizr experience, including workspace definition, DSL, and diagram automation. Structurizr is a "diagrams-as-code" tool created to specifically to support the C4 model for visualizing software architecture. It uses a Domain Specific Language (DSL) to define models (people, systems, containers) and relationships, generating interactive, consistent diagrams from code rather than manual drawing.

DCMS Enablement: DCMS work heavily involves architecture governance, artifact creation, pattern alignment, onboarding, and accelerating PAA app migration.

• Strong ability to produce high-quality architectural artifacts, aligned to CTO specifications and refresh cadence.

• Experience navigating SRP and enforcing governance & deployment patterns, including rightsizing and alignment.

• Hands on experience with PAA onboarding, Azure/GCP app patterns, and SDLC tooling architecture.

• Familiarity with automation architecture and local dev environment patterns within DCMS.
