About this role

Overview

LMI is seeking an Atlassian Solution Architect at the Senior level to design secure, scalable enterprise Atlassian Cloud environments supporting Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) technology modernization initiatives. This role combines solution architecture, cloud migration strategy, identity and access integration, Jira and Confluence in Commercial Cloud governance, and technical leadership to establish sustainable platform standards for diverse teams.

The Atlassian Solution Architect will define the target-state site and organization architecture, guide configuration decisions, assess legacy Data Center assets, and establish migration patterns for projects, permissions, users, marketplace apps, and integrations. The architect will work with security, identity, engineering, administration, portfolio, and government stakeholders to make well-supported design choices and oversee technical implementation.

This is not a diagram-only architecture position. The successful candidate must anticipate operational constraints, validate designs through implementation and testing, resolve platform tradeoffs, and help teams adopt standards without sacrificing necessary functionality. The ideal candidate pairs deep Atlassian expertise with pragmatic delivery judgment, risk management, and the ability to explain complex technical decisions to senior leaders.

LMI is a new breed of digital solutions provider dedicated to accelerating government impact with innovation and speed. Investing in technology and prototypes ahead of need, LMI brings commercial-grade platforms and mission-ready AI to federal agencies at commercial speed.

Leveraging our mission-ready technology and solutions, proven expertise in federal deployment, and strategic relationships, we enhance outcomes for the government, efficiently and effectively. With a focus on agility and collaboration, LMI serves the defense, space, healthcare, and energy sectors—helping agencies navigate complexity and outpace change. Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.

Set standards for projects, workflows, fields, templates, apps, Confluence spaces, and enterprise reporting.
Oversee migration and integration designs, including JCC-to-GitHub/CI-CD connectivity and portfolio reporting interfaces.
Evaluate marketplace app compatibility, license and site options, technical risks, and tradeoffs; document architecture decisions.
Lead technical reviews, validation criteria, and knowledge transfer to operations teams.
Lead migration readiness reviews, application dependency mapping, coexistence strategy, cutover approvals, and validation criteria for legacy environments.
Evaluate permission models, least-privilege access, SAML/OIDC federation, MFA requirements, group synchronization, and secure administrative practices with security teams.
Oversee technical proof-of-concept activities for high-risk configuration patterns, marketplace app replacements, data movement, and key integrations.
Set build-quality standards, review implementation evidence, manage architectural risk, and direct knowledge transfer for long-term operations.
