Cloud Architect – Healthcare Software

The Cloud Architect drives the modernization of healthcare software products by helping engineering teams transform existing on-premises and legacy applications into scalable, secure and maintainable cloud solutions.

• Lead architecture and technical direction for cloud transformation and application modernization initiatives.
• Define practical target architectures for healthcare software products and guide teams in implementing them.
• Work closely with development teams to modernize legacy and monolithic applications into modular, cloud-enabled solutions.
• Make architectural decisions together with engineers and actively support implementation where needed.
• Evaluate cloud services, platform capabilities and architectural patterns for AWS and Microsoft Azure.
• Balance scalability, security, performance, cost and regulatory compliance when making technical decisions.
• Define reusable architecture principles, patterns and platform capabilities that accelerate future product development.
• 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.
• Demonstrated experience with: Architecture of enterprise or healthcare software products, Cloud transformation and application modernization, Designing and delivering cloud-native solutions on AWS and/or Microsoft Azure, Modernizing legacy and monolithic applications, Leading architectural decisions across multiple product teams, Working in Agile software development environments.
