Senior Solutions Architect- REMOTE

• Lead architectural design and solutioning during discovery and early implementation phases, partnering with healthcare customers to uncover requirements and design scalable, standards-aligned solutions.
• Provide architectural oversight across the full implementation lifecycle and post-go-live, ensuring solutions remain aligned with Smile's best practices, technical standards, and platform capabilities.
• Assess customer-specific requirements and recommend approaches for performance optimization, data ingestion workflows, bundle design, and terminology mapping.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, QA, Agile Leads, Solution Architects, and Technical Account Managers to resolve architectural questions and validate implementation patterns.
• Adapt and evolve solution designs as delivery progresses, addressing new constraints, scalability challenges, and deployment issues.
• Participate in customer-facing engagements including design reviews, technical workshops, retrospectives, and escalation discussions, providing clear technical direction at key decision points.
• Contribute to internal architecture governance through design reviews, documentation, and reusable solution assets, while staying current with Smile's product roadmap and relevant regulatory requirements (e.g., CMS interoperability mandates).
