We're looking for someone who can:

• Think strategically while staying practical and delivery-focused.
• Influence technical direction through collaboration, mentorship, and clear communication.
• Translate complex architecture decisions for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Define and evolve the architecture for shared platform capabilities across enterprise products.
• Partner with engineering, product, security, infrastructure, and operations teams to shape platform strategy, technical standards, and roadmaps.
• Design reusable services, APIs, event-driven integrations, developer tools, and reference implementations that accelerate software delivery.
• Provide technical guidance, mentor engineers and architects, and support major design and modernization initiatives.
• Evaluate cloud services, AI capabilities, and open-source technologies that improve scalability, reliability, security, and engineering productivity.
• Create architecture documentation, reference designs, and engineering guidance that support platform adoption and long-term maintainability.
• Promote reusable design patterns, secure engineering practices, and continuous improvement.
• Help teams adopt new technologies responsibly and effectively.

What we look for

• 8-10+ years of software engineering experience designing distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, and scalable enterprise software.
• Strong architecture expertise across microservices, APIs, event-driven design, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, data platforms, and observability.
• Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and modern programming languages such as Java, C#, Python, Go, or TypeScript.
• Knowledge of application security, identity, authentication, authorization, and secure design practices.
• Ability to evaluate emerging technologies, including AI-assisted engineering tools, and translate them into practical platform improvements.

Other Preferred Knowledge

• Experience with healthcare technology, interoperability standards, or SaaS platforms.
• Experience with event streaming, service mesh, cloud-native networking, observability, or enterprise data platforms.
• Experience designing AI-enabled platforms or integrating LLM-based capabilities.
• Experience leading architecture reviews, technical governance, or engineering modernization efforts.
