SysOps Software Architect

About the role

The ESCP-P SysOps 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 SysOps 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 SysOps 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 SysOps capabilities can be reused and where ESCP-P-specific functionality is required.

- Establish architectural principles, design patterns, and technical standards across participating SysOps 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.

SysOps Solution Definition

- Define the SysOps 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 SysOps 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 efficient military service operations.

Interfaces and Integration

- Define and govern APIs, data models, messaging interfaces, and integration patterns between SysOps 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 SysOps software architecture.

- Work with cybersecurity and program stakeholders to translate DND security requirements into application, interface, identity, access-control, audit, logging, and monitoring capabilities.
