Job Summary
The Solution Architect is responsible for translating market-driven product concepts and business requirements into technically feasible scalable solution designs across all HAS platforms including data platforms BI analytics models data extraction and delivery and enterprise applications. This role serves as the critical bridge between business-facing product teams and technology delivery teams ensuring clarity of requirements architectural alignment feasibility assessment vendor evaluation (when applicable) and development of level-of-effort (LOE) estimates before work transitions into detailed design and build.
The Solution Architect provides end-to-end architectural oversight for solutions that span multiple enterprise systems technologies and business domains (e.g. laboratory billing logistics patient services finance). This includes creating and presenting architecture artifacts such as solution overviews data models integration designs dependency maps and technical assessments while guiding developers and architects through implementation. The role collaborates closely with Enterprise and Infrastructure Architecture functions to ensure solutions align with broader IT strategy standards and long-term platform direction.
Responsibilities
Solution Shaping & Business Translation
- Partner with market-backed teams and business stakeholders to understand objectives use cases and requirements translating them into clear actionable solution concepts.
- Develop high-level technical designs including data flows integrations system interactions and platform components required to deliver the solution.
- Produce solution artifacts such as architecture overviews diagrams data models dependency maps and solution outlines to enable downstream design and build activities.
Feasibility Estimation & Optioning
- Identify technical options and assess feasibility risks constraints and tradeoffs.
- Provide high-level level-of-effort (LOE) estimates and complexity assessments to inform prioritization and planning decisions.
- Support early-stage proofs of concept (POCs) and vendor evaluations to validate solution viability.
Cross-Platform Alignment & Governance
- Facilitate early collaboration across platform product managers architects engineering data science and enterprise architecture to ensure shared understanding and alignment.
- Ensure solutions align with platform strategy architectural standards data governance security requirements and reference patterns.
- Promote reuse of existing capabilities and reduce redundant or bespoke development.
Enterprise Architecture & Strategic Support
- Collaborate with Enterprise and Infrastructure Architecture teams to ensure solutions align with broader IT strategy roadmaps and standards.
- Contribute to enterprise blueprints technology assessments and strategic platform evolution.
- Evaluate external vendors and technologies when applicable preparing structured assessments and recommendations.
Technical Leadership & Communication
- Serve as the central technical point of contact during early-stage solution definition.
- Lead cross-functional solution discussions and present options and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Support RFP/RFI development by providing technical input architecture guidance and solution validation.
