The ESCP-P Sys Ops Software Architect will lead the architecture and technical direction of System Operations software capabilities required to support the ESCP-P program. The architect will translate program, DND, operational, security, and system requirements into scalable Sys Ops software solutions. The role will ensure that existing Lightspeed capabilities are reused where appropriate while identifying and defining program-specific enhancements required for ESCP-P.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture and Technical Leadership
Define and maintain the end-to-end Sys Ops software architecture for the ESCP-P program.
Translate ESCP-P operational concepts and system requirements into software architecture, interfaces, services, workflows, and deployment requirements.
Identify which existing Lightspeed Sys Ops capabilities can be reused and where ESCP-P-specific functionality is required.
Establish architectural principles, design patterns, and technical standards across participating Sys Ops applications.
Lead architecture reviews and document key technical decisions, assumptions, dependencies, and risks.
Ensure alignment between the ESCP-P solution and the broader Lightspeed system architecture.
Sys Ops Solution Definition
Define the Sys Ops capabilities needed to provision, configure, monitor, control, and support Mil-Ka services.
Develop application-level and cross-application architecture covering operational workflows, service management, fault management, performance monitoring, reporting, and system administration.
Define the required enhancements and integrations across relevant Sys Ops platforms and other operational systems.
Ensure that operational tools provide appropriate visibility into service status, network performance, alarms, events, logs,



and customer-impacting conditions.
Support the definition of automation required for dependable and productive military service operations.
Interfaces and Integration
Define and govern APIs, data models, messaging interfaces, and integration patterns between Sys Ops and adjacent systems.
Coordinate integration architecture with BSS, user terminal, network engineering, cybersecurity, Network Operations, Satellite Operations, and Systems Engineering teams.
Ensure traceability from ESCP-P requirements to architectural components, interfaces, and planned software deliveries.
Identify integration dependencies and risks early and establish practical mitigation plans.
Support integration, system test, and operational-readiness activities.
Security and Mission Assurance
Incorporate security-by-design principles into the ESCP-P Sys Ops software architecture.
Work with cybersecurity and program stakeholders to translate DND security requirements into application, interface, identity, access-control, audit, logging, and monitoring capabilities.
Define architectural requirements for system resilience, availability, recoverability, redundancy, and continuity of operations.
Support security assessments, design reviews, accreditation activities, and remediation planning.
Ensure that sensitive operational and customer information is handled in accordance with applicable program and organizational requirements.




Deployment and Operational Readiness
Define deployment architecture for applicable cloud, on-premises, edge, and hybrid environments.
Establish architectural requirements for containerization, Kubernetes, configuration management, CI/CD, observability, backup, disaster recovery, and high availability.
Collaborate with Dev Ops, IT, Network Operations, and support teams to ensure that the solution is deployable, supportable, and maintainable.
Define production monitoring, diagnostic, troubleshooting, and support requirements.
Support capacity planning, performance engineering, release planning, and production-readiness reviews.
Program Delivery and Governance
Support CONOPS development, requirements analysis, architecture documentation, program planning, and technical baselining.
Participate in PI planning, milestone planning, design reviews, CDRs, customer reviews, and technical working groups.
Provide architecture input to scope, estimates, sequencing, staffing, and delivery commitments.
Present architecture status, decisions, risks, and recommendations to technical and program leadership.
Mentor technical leads and developers and provide guidance throughout design, implementation, integration, verification, and deployment.
Promote consistency and reuse across ESCP-P and the broader Lightspeed Sys Ops portfolio.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
At least 10 years of experience in software or systems engineering, including significant experience in software or solution architecture.
Demonstrated experience architecting large-scale, distri
