Overview Join a team where innovation meets mission. Our AI, cloud, cyber, and modernization solutions save agencies thousands of hours, safeguard national security, and strengthen health and humanitarian missions worldwide. With more than 1,700+ team members, 1,500+ AI & data experts, and 100+ prime contracts, we deliver at scale and with purpose. We've been recognized as a Top Workplace by The Washington Post for six consecutive years and named to the Inc. 5000 list of Fastest-Growing Private Companies in 13 of the past 14 years. Credence is a welcoming environment for those looking to grow and make a meaningful impact. We encourage employees to push boundaries and help solve critical, world-changing federal challenges. Position Summary 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.
