You combine architectural thinking with practical engineering experience and help teams deliver modern cloud-native solutions on AWS and Azure where appropriate.

You understand that successful cloud transformation is more than migrating workloads. It requires modern software architecture, automation, platform capabilities, and sustainable engineering practices that allow products to evolve over time while meeting healthcare quality and regulatory requirements., * Lead architecture and technical direction for cloud transformation and application modernization initiatives.

• Review solution designs and implementation to ensure architectural quality and consistency.
• Collaborate with Product Management, Software Development, DevOps, Quality, Cybersecurity and Regulatory teams.
• Coach engineers on cloud-native architecture, software modernization and engineering best practices.
• Stay involved throughout delivery to ensure architecture is successfully implemented-not only documented.

• Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology or a related technical discipline. A Bachelor’s Degree with equivalent additional professional experience may also be considered.
• Minimum 10 years of professional experience in software engineering, including at least 5 years in a software or cloud architecture role.
• Experience in regulated healthcare or medical device software development is strongly preferred.
