About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the end-to-end architecture vision across the front end, back end, data pipelines, and AI agent harness, and keep the layers coherent as they grow
Establish patterns, standards, and shared enablers (libraries, services, conventions) that break down silos and enable teams to build consistently
Work hands-on alongside the front-end and back-end teams, contributing code, reviews, and design leadership
Drive sound distributed systems and event-driven design where it fits, with reliability, observability, and security treated as first-class concerns
Architect the AI agent harness to interact with PHI and other sensitive data in a governed, auditable, HIPAA-compliant manner
Partner with data engineers, data scientists, and actuaries on our AWS and Databricks stack to align data pipeline architecture with the analytics and decision-support layers above it
Work with Product Management to ensure that PRDs have sufficient detail to be translated into technical designs
Produce clear, actionable architecture documentation that teams can confidently build from
Rapidly understand existing codebases, surface technical debt, and chart pragmatic paths to pay it down
Mentor engineers and data engineers toward stronger architectural thinking, building the foundation for a future platform team

Requirements

What you’ll need

10+ years building and shipping production software, with a generalist, full-stack range
A demonstrated track record of owning architecture across multiple layers of a system, not just within a single component
Deep foundation in back-end and service development, plus enough front-end depth (modern frameworks) to lead and contribute there
Strong distributed systems and event-driven architecture experience (e.g., Kafka or comparable)
Experience architecting data pipelines, ideally on cloud data platforms; familiarity with Databricks/Spark is a plus
Security and observability are treated as design fundamentals, not bolt-ons
Excellent written communication — the ability to turn complexity into documentation that teams can act on
A history of mentoring engineers and driving cross-team initiatives end-to-end through influence rather than authority
A pragmatic, execution-grounded approach to architecture
Experience with healthcare or other regulated data environments (HIPAA, PHI)
Domain knowledge in value-based care, payer, actuarial, or claims data
