Architecture / architect

Sabel Systems designs and delivers digital engineering ecosystems for DoD programs enabling teams to connect data systems and personnel within secure scalable environments. Our solutions empower programs to make faster decisions close sustainment gaps and meet the digital acquisition requirements.
Rather than simply proposing transformation we implement and operate it at scale. If you seek to solve complex challenges at scale and want your work to directly accelerate military capability while reshaping the DoDs approach to digital engineering this is the place for you.
Mission Amplified.
Lead the overall design architecture and target-state definition of enterprise-grade Appian solutions including process models rules CDTs (Custom Data Types) portals and interfaces ensuring scalability maintainability and alignment with DoD business objectives across multiple applications
