Job Description

Role Summary
We are seeking a technically proficient, vendor-neutral Solution Architect to lead the design, integration, and delivery of enterprise-grade solutions across both on-premise and cloud-native environments. This role requires deep architectural expertise, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects across complex enterprise landscapes.

The ideal candidate is fluent in C4 modeling, highly experienced in API-centric system integration, and has exposure to AI-related solutioning—such as ML model integration, data pipeline orchestration, or intelligent automation. Healthcare experience in clinical systems solution architecture for example Epic/Cerner, Pharmacy/PDX, Radiology/Sectra PACS/EPIC Radiant is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Architecture Design:
  Develop and maintain architectural artifacts using the C4 model (Context, Container, Component, Code). Design scalable, modular solutions across on-premise, hybrid, and cloud-native platforms.
• Solution Delivery:
  Translate business and technical requirements into practical, scalable, and maintainable solutions. Evaluate and recommend architectural patterns, platforms, and services, including AI/ML components where applicable.
• API Integration and Design:
  Lead the design and governance of RESTful APIs, event-driven architectures, and secure external/internal integrations. Ensure API usability, scalability, and lifecycle alignment with enterprise strategy.
• Project and Workload Management:
  Manage and prioritize multiple initiatives simultaneously, ensuring technical alignment and consistent solution delivery.
• Cross-Team Collaboration:
  Collaborate with product managers, engineers, data scientists, and business stakeholders to align architecture with delivery priorities and long-term goals.
• Documentation and Governance:
  Own the development of Solution Architecture Descriptions (SADs), interface specifications, compliance artifacts, and documentation aligned with standards such as Arc42.
• Agile and Delivery Support:
  Support agile planning, sprint execution, estimation, and technical risk mitigation.

Required Skills and Experience

• 8 or more years of experience in solution architecture, including leadership of large-scale, cross-functional initiatives.
• Proven expertise in API design, system integration, and cloud-native development.
• Experience delivering or supporting AI-driven solutions (e.g., model orchestration, data services for ML pipelines, intelligent workflow integration).
• Proficiency in C4 modeling and architecture documentation standards (e.g., Arc42, SAD).
• Strong understanding of security, compliance, and data governance in regulated environments.
• Effective communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Familiarity with agile delivery frameworks such as SAFe or Scrum
• Exposure to healthcare integration standards: HL7, FHIR, or payer/provider interoperability

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with cloud platforms: AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Familiarity with AI/ML tools (e.g., TensorFlow, Vertex AI, Azure AI Services) or NLP platforms
• Experience with integration tools: Mulesoft, Boomi, Kafka, Apigee
