Product Convergence Architect

Freedom Technology Solutions Group is seeking a Product Convergence Architect to support the Government Corporate Management Services (CMS) mission by sustaining, modernizing, and transforming critical enterprise corporate applications used across acquisition, business, finance, HR, training, recruitment, program management, security, and logistics.
