Insomniac Design

Solutions Engineer

• Develop the overall architecture blueprint and technology roadmap for system modernization, covering application, data, integration, and infrastructure architectures.
• Analyze the existing systems and data flows; design integration strategies to connect new platforms with legacy systems and external databases (state and federal) for seamless data sharing.
• Select and recommend appropriate technology stacks (platforms, frameworks, databases) that fit project requirements, emphasizing a modular, “best-fit” approach for each component.
• Ensure the solution’s design adheres to security and compliance requirements (e.g., NIST, FedRAMP, State security policies), with robust identity management, data encryption, and role-based access controls from the outset.
• Architect cloud-ready and scalable solutions (or hybrid on-prem/cloud as appropriate) to handle high volumes of permit data and documents, with strategies for high availability and disaster recovery.
• Define API and integration standards for connecting the platform with other systems (e.g. GIS services, document management, payment processing), ensuring interoperability and data consistency.
• Provide technical oversight during implementation: review system designs and code, guide engineering teams in aligning development with the established architecture, and address any technical challenges or deviations.
• Incorporate modern technologies such as AI-driven tools or workflow automation into the architecture where they add value (e.g., AI document review, RPA for routine tasks), ensuring they are implemented in a secure and effective manner.
• Collaborate closely with project managers, business analysts, and UX designers to ensure the technical solutions align with user requirements and provide excellent user experience.
• Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies and public sector IT trends, and proactively recommend innovations that could improve system performance, maintainability, or user satisfaction.

Senior Solutions Architect – Government Systems

Technical Project Manager

• Oversee planning and execution of platform modernization, including coordinating discovery workshops and guiding the implementation of new systems.
• Manage cross-functional teams (developers, architects, analysts, UX designers, QA) and multiple stakeholders across government agencies, ensuring effective communication and collaboration.
• Define clear project scope, objectives, and success metrics; develop detailed project plans and schedules, and monitor progress against milestones.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks and issues, making contingency plans to keep the project on track.
• Ensure compliance with federal and state IT governance, security policies, and data standards throughout the project lifecycle.
• Implement robust project management practices (Agile and/or hybrid methodologies) with regular status reporting, quality control, and change management processes.
• Facilitate stakeholder meetings, steering committee updates, and user outreach to maintain alignment with business goals and user needs.
• Drive organizational change management including training, user adoption strategies, and transition plans to operational support once the new permitting system goes live.
