- Identify architectural risks, technical debt, and capability gaps
- Define the North Star target architecture aligned with business strategy and technology trends
- Develop a phased roadmap for modernization and improvements
- Collaborate with engineering, product, and operations to validate feasibility and priorities
- Ensure architecture designs meet performance, scalability, resilience, and compliance requirements
- Provide architectural guidance on ongoing and future initiatives
- Lead buy vs. build decision-making processes to ensure optimal solutions
- Establish and enforce development standards, coding guidelines, and best practices
- Define and oversee Dev/QA environment strategies to support scalable and consistent delivery
- 7+ years of experience in enterprise or solution architecture roles
- Strong experience with SaaS platforms, cloud-native architectures (AWS preferred), and integration patterns
- Proven ability to document and communicate complex architectures clearly
- Familiarity with HIPAA compliance and secure architecture design
- Experience with legacy modernization and migration strategies
