Solution Architect

Solution Architect

Remote (EST)

Contract position

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly experienced Solution Architect to lead the architecture and discovery for a strategic enterprise initiative to build a secure, repeatable UAT/Pre-Production and Data Replication platform for a leading healthcare technology organization.

The engagement begins with a Discovery phase that will define the architecture, implementation roadmap, and delivery approach for a production-grade environment capable of:

• Building a production-like UAT/Pre-Production environment.
• Supporting secure cloning of environments across the enterprise.
• Implementing data de-identification aligned with enterprise privacy policies.
• Enabling repeatable, on-demand environment provisioning and refresh capabilities.

The architect will work closely with Enterprise Architecture, Data Engineering, DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, Security, and Data Privacy teams to define a scalable, HIPAA-compliant solution that transitions seamlessly into implementation.

Key Responsibility:

Lead the overall architecture for the UAT/Pre-Production platform, ensuring alignment across application, data, infrastructure, and security domains.

Design scalable architectures for:

• Production-like UAT environments
• Enterprise environment cloning
• Data synchronization
• Environment refresh automation
• Operational repeatability
• HIPAA-compliant production data handling

Define mechanisms to support:

• Full environment cloning
• Customer-specific cloning
• Multi-tenant data selection
• Source and target environment abstraction
• Incremental refresh
• Partial refresh
• Repeatable cloning workflows

Design the architecture so cloning becomes an operational capability rather than a one-time migration exercise.

Required Qualification:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline.
• 10+ years of Solution Architecture experience.
• 5+ years designing enterprise Azure solutions.
• Strong expertise in: Azure Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Distributed application architecture, Event-driven systems, Enterprise integration, Experience designing large-scale data synchronization platforms, Experience with enterprise data migration or replication solutions, Experience architecting secure healthcare or regulated environments, Strong client-facing consulting and workshop facilitation skills.

Preferred:

• Snowflake
• Azure Data Factory
• Azure Functions
• Kubernetes (AKS)
• Terraform
• Delphix
• Data masking and de-identification
• HIPAA compliance
• Healthcare platforms
• Multi-tenant SaaS architectures
• Event Sourcing / CQRS
• CI/CD platforms
• Infrastructure as Code

Success Measures:

• Defined the target architecture for the UAT/Pre-Production platform.
• Designed a reusable enterprise environment cloning capability supporting multiple source and target environments, full-environment and customer-specific cloning.
• Produced the architecture for Cosmos DB/Azure SQL hydration and synchronization with Snowflake.
• Defined the enterprise approach for database de-identification using Delphix in alignment with Data Privacy and HIPAA requirements.
• Designed a repeatable, on-demand environment provisioning and refresh process rather than a one-time implementation.
