  • 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.

Requirements

  • 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.
