Enterprise Application Architect

Role Description

We are seeking a strategic and highly analytical Enterprise Application Architect to bridge the gap between our business objectives and technical execution within our Telehealth platform. In this critical role, you will be responsible for understanding and documenting our current technical landscape, designing resilient future-state architectures, and driving the complex technical strategy required to achieve and maintain our FedRAMP certification.

You will serve as a technical north star for our engineering teams, balancing the need for rapid innovation with strict adherence to security, compliance, and scalability standards. Crucially, you will architect and enforce the codebase branching and release management strategies that allow our commercial and government offerings to coexist efficiently without accumulating massive technical debt. If you excel at translating complex technical concepts for executive stakeholders, mentoring senior technical talent, and navigating the nuances of multi-environment, highly-regulated architectures (including both FedRAMP and HIPAA), we want you on our team.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in an enterprise architectural role.
• Proven, hands-on experience architecting software for FedRAMP authorization, including deep familiarity with government cloud environments (e.g., AWS GovCloud, Azure Government) and boundary isolation requirements.
• Deep understanding of cloud architectures (AWS/Azure/GCP), API gateways, microservices, complex source control management (SCM) strategies for parallel release tracks, modern deployment pipelines, video/telephony integrations, and data models in a Ruby on Rails environment.
• Familiarity or hands-on experience with AI/ML architectural concepts and large language model (LLM) integrations is a strong plus.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a track record of influencing executive leadership.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

Requirements

• Document the current architectural state and draft comprehensive future-state target architectures.
• Serve as the primary technical driver for FedRAMP authorization.
• Design, implement, and enforce a sustainable branching, merging, and release strategy across commercial and government environments.
• Lay the architectural groundwork for future Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) integrations.
• Actively align technology initiatives and roadmaps with overarching business goals.
• Manage technology roadmapping, oversee lifecycle management, and proactively identify and mitigate technical debt.
• Conduct "buy vs. build" analyses, vendor evaluations, and provide architectural input on requirement reviews and Level of Effort (LOE) estimations.
• Architect highly scalable, low-latency integrations for video technology and telephony systems.
• Make actionable recommendations for improvements to platform performance, scalability, stability, and security.
• Guide the strategic transition and considerations between microservices and monolithic architectures.
• Define API strategy, governance, and system integration patterns to ensure seamless interoperability.
• Collaborate on data flow architectures and provide oversight for data modeling best practices.
• Translate FedRAMP (Moderate/High), DoD SRG, or other government compliance frameworks into actionable, testable engineering requirements.
• Ensure all architectures strictly comply with HIPAA and other data privacy regulations.
• Drive the implementation of Zero-Trust architecture paradigms.
• Collaborate with security teams on robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategies.
• Integrate architectural workflows within Agile and SAFe frameworks.
• Align architectural standards with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices.
• Lead the development and evaluation of Proof of Concepts (PoCs) for emerging technologies.
• Participate in disaster recovery planning and ensure architectures support strict business continuity requirements.
• Bridge the communication gap between product management and engineering teams.
• Translate complex technical concepts, trade-offs, and strategies into clear language for non-technical stakeholders.
• Mentor senior developers and tech leads, fostering a culture of technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving.
