## About the Role

* 4+ years of experience in Solution Architecture, Application Architecture, or Enterprise Architecture within Healthcare Payer domains or large-scale complex software delivery
 * Core Administration Depth: Hands-on architecture experience with healthcare core administration platforms (e.g., MetaVance or similar), with deep understanding of Claims Processing, Billing, Membership, Enrollment, Benefits Configuration, Provider Management, and Customer Service
 * Cross-Domain Delivery: Demonstrated ownership of enterprise-scale solution delivery from initial discovery through architecture, detailed design, implementation, and production rollout
 * Cloud-Native Design: Experience architecting cloud-native and event-driven architectures leveraging microservices, messaging patterns (Azure Service Bus, Event Grid), and modern integration frameworks
 * Architecture Artifacts: Experience translating high-level designs into structured implementation artifacts (API contracts, event schemas, Infrastructure-as-Code, and integration specifications)
 * AI/ML & Generative AI Solutioning: Proven experience evaluating, architecting, and implementing AI/ML, Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Agentic AI frameworks using Azure AI Services
 * Responsible AI & Governance: Understanding of enterprise AI governance, security, compliance, and Responsible AI frameworks
 * AI-Assisted Engineering: Fluency with AI-assisted development and delivery tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT Enterprise) as an integral part of the architecture and software development lifecycle
 * Agile Integration (Preferred): Experience embedded directly within active Agile/DevOps delivery teams, actively guiding execution rather than operating solely in an advisory capacity
 * Interoperability & Standards (Preferred): Knowledge of healthcare interoperability and regulatory standards (FHIR, HL7, X12, HIPAA)
 * Infrastructure-as-Code (Preferred): Direct experience with IaC frameworks (Terraform, Bicep) and automated CI/CD patterns
 * Vendor & Platform Selection (Preferred): Track record of leading enterprise-scale vendor evaluations, platform selections, and core system modernizations
 * Certifications (Preferred): Azure Solutions Architect, Azure AI Engineer, relevant healthcare/AI certifications

 * Works closely with the product and development teams to design and implement those solutions
 * Takes on a leadership role as necessary focusing on design and development execution
 * End-to-End Delivery Architecture: Leads solution architecture for enterprise initiatives across core healthcare payer domains (Claims, Billing, Enrollment), platform modernization, and AI-driven capabilities
 * Pattern Definition & Acceleration: Defines and codifies reusable architecture blueprints, design patterns, and accelerators to streamline discovery, design, and delivery timelines
 * Architecture Governance & Design: Interprets enterprise architecture standards, participates in Architecture Review Boards (ARB), and collaborates with Principal Architects on complex or precedent-setting decisions
 * Modernization Strategy: Drives cloud-native, event-driven, API-first, and Generative/Agentic AI capabilities into core platform delivery workflows
 * Technical Mentorship: Mentors architects, tech leads, and engineering teams on solution design, platform capabilities, AI adoption, and architecture best practices
