Senior Solution Architect

Job Title: Senior Solution Architect Healthcare & Financial Services

Role Summary

We are seeking an experienced Solution Architect with deep end-to-end architecture capabilities across data application integration and user-facing layers with proven experience in healthcare and financial services environments.

This role goes beyond data architecture alone. We are seeking candidates with end-to-end solution architecture capabilities-not only strong data architecture skills but also experience in application architecture user-facing design and financial domain integration. The architect will own solution designs from concept through implementation ensuring they are scalable secure compliant and aligned with enterprise standards across highly regulated domains.

Core Responsibilities

End-to-End Solution Architecture

• Own and design full-stack solution architectures spanning:
  • User-facing applications (web mobile portals)
  • Application and service layers (microservices APIs)
  • Integration and middleware layers
  • Data platforms (operational analytical and streaming)
• Translate complex business clinical and financial requirements into logical and physical architecture designs.
• Define architecture patterns standards and reference implementations across domains.

Application & Integration Architecture

• Design application architectures using modern paradigms such as:
  • Microservices and domain-driven design
  • Event-driven and message-based systems
  • API-first and service-oriented architectures
• Lead integrations across internal and external systems including:
  • Healthcare platforms (EMRs payer systems interoperability hubs)
  • Financial platforms (payment gateways billing invoicing risk and compliance systems)
• Define API specifications data contracts and integration patterns (REST GraphQL async messaging ETL).

Data & Analytics Architecture

• Design and govern data architectures supporting transactional analytical and reporting use cases.
• Model healthcare and financial domain data ensuring accuracy lineage and regulatory compliance.
• Support architectures involving data warehouses data lakes streaming pipelines and analytics platforms.

User-Facing & Experience Considerations

• Partner with UX/UI product and engineering teams to ensure user-facing solutions are performant intuitive and scalable.

• Embed security controls into application data and integration layers (IAM encryption auditing tokenization).
• Participate in architecture review boards and ensure adherence to enterprise and domain standards.

Delivery & Leadership

• Provide hands-on guidance to engineering teams during build test and deployment.
• Evaluate tradeoffs related to scalability performance cost and technical debt.
• Mentor senior engineers and architects; influence architecture decisions across multiple initiatives.
• Communicate architecture decisions clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• 7 10 years of experience in solution application or enterprise architecture.
• Strong experience designing end-to-end solutions not limited to data platforms.
• Proven work in healthcare and/or financial services environments.
• Expertise in modern application architecture (microservices APIs cloud-native patterns).
• Strong integration experience across heterogeneous systems and vendors.
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (Azure AWS or GCP).
• Solid understanding of security compliance and privacy in regulated industries.
• Ability to operate at both strategic and hands-on technical levels.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Healthcare standards: HL7 FHIR X12 EDI interoperability frameworks.
• Financial domain experience: payments billing revenue cycle risk fraud compliance.
• Experience modernizing legacy platforms or leading cloud migration initiatives.
• DevOps CI/CD Infrastructure as Code (Terraform ARM CloudFormation).
• Architecture certifications (Azure/AWS Architect TOGAF).
