The ideal candidate brings deep healthcare payer domain experience, fluency in modern architecture patterns (microservices, event-driven, API-first, domain-driven design, data mesh), and hands-on experience building cloud-native solutions on Azure. This is a full-time, remote, exempt position and reports to the VP, Enterprise Architecture and Infrastructure. Specific Responsibilities * Own the solution architecture for the Member Data Platform, defining target-state designs and reference architectures that align with DataSpring's product strategy, enterprise standards, and healthcare industry direction. * Translate business and product requirements from health plan partners and internal stakeholders into scalable, secure, cloud-native solutions on Azure, with emphasis on data quality, identity resolution, and interoperability. * Design domain models and data flows for healthcare member data - including eligibility, enrollment, demographics, and coverage - using industry standards such as FHIR, HL7, X12 (especially 834), and NCPDP where applicable. * Apply modern architecture patterns - microservices, event-driven architecture, API-first design, domain-driven design, CQRS / event sourcing, and data mesh concepts - to solve for scale, resilience, and time-to-market. * Drive proofs-of-concept and hands-on prototypes for new capabilities and emerging technologies; evaluate vendors and SaaS / PaaS options and make build-vs-buy recommendations. * Partner with security and compliance teams to ensure solutions meet HIPAA, SOC 2, and HITRUST requirements, with strong controls around PHI/PII, identity and access management, encryption, and auditability. * Stay current on healthcare interoperability trends (TEFCA, CMS interoperability rules, FHIR US Core, payer data exchange) and translate relevant developments into roadmap input. * Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, software engineers, data engineers, DevOps/SRE, and operations to guide implementation, remove technical blockers, and uphold architectural integrity through the SDLC. * Define and enforce non-functional requirements for the platform: availability, performance, scalability, disaster recovery, observability, and cost efficiency. * Drive cost optimization across the Member Data Platform footprint by reviewing cloud usage and implementing cost-effective solutions. * Contribute to enterprise architecture practices by bringing the member-domain perspective into shared standards, platforms, and reusable patterns; represent the Member Data Platform in enterprise forums. * Report weekly status on architecture initiatives to designated DataSpring management. * Follow all DataSpring Policies and Procedures. ## Related Videos - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Back(end) to the Future: Embracing the continuous Evolution of Infrastructure and Code](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/440-back-end-to-the-future-embracing-the-continuous-evolution-of-infrastructure-and-code) - [ZEISS & Microsoft - Building the Next Generation Medical Ecosystem in the Cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/424-zeiss-microsoft-building-the-next-generation-medical-ecosystem-in-the-cloud) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Top Must-Visit Developer Conferences in the US in 2026](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/679-top-must-visit-developer-conferences-in-the-us-in-2026) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers)
