Solutions Architect | AWS/React/HIPAA | 100% Remote

100% Remote

Schedule: Full-time; occasional flexible hours as needed [to be clarified]

Engagement: 12-month contract with potential for contract-to-hire

Overview

A connected health and wellness technology company is seeking a senior Solutions Architect to design secure, scalable, and supportable solutions across its technology ecosystem. The ecosystem spans:

• Enterprise applications (Salesforce, NetSuite, Celigo)
• AWS and Azure cloud platforms
• IoT and connected devices
• Telecommunications
• Real-time health and safety services

This is a senior individual contributor role. You will own architecture from business requirements through design, technical decisions, and implementation guidance, and partner with Engineering, Security, Data, Product, and business leaders.

Responsibilities

Solution & Integration Architecture

• Design end-to-end solutions across Salesforce, NetSuite, Celigo, telecom platforms, device systems, and cloud services.
• Architect member and care-team services, wellness services, and real-time alerting.
• Wellness services cover heart rate, sleep, activity, location, and care insights.
• Real-time alerting covers falls, SOS events, and heart-rate breaches.
• Design a dual-datastore strategy: NoSQL for operational data and a time-series database for sensor data, with PHI-at-rest controls.
• Define integration patterns, REST APIs, event-driven processes, data flows, and system-of-record decisions.
• Identify platform consolidation and modernization opportunities.
• Produce architecture documents, system diagrams, integration maps, technical standards, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).

Cloud, Data & Resiliency

• Design multi-cloud solutions on AWS and Azure.
• Set standards for environments, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and operational support.
• Define data boundaries, consistency models, storage strategies, and lifecycle practices across NoSQL and time-series platforms.
• Define and validate non-functional requirements (NFRs): performance, scalability, availability, reliability, maintainability, security, cost, and recoverability.
• Validate NFRs through load, capacity, failover, and performance testing.

Security, Compliance & Governance

• Apply secure-by-design practices: threat modeling, IAM, encryption, API security, vulnerability management, penetration-test remediation, and zero-trust principles.
• Partner with Security and Compliance on HIPAA, FCC, PCI, accessibility, and privacy requirements.
• Establish architecture review practices, reference patterns, and technical guardrails.
• Maintain current-state and future-state architecture documentation.

Technical Leadership

• Act as technical advisor on complex, cross-functional, multi-system initiatives.
• Communicate options, risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs to engineers, Product, and executives.
• Lead architecture reviews, guide implementation, and mentor engineers.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years in solutions, enterprise, integration, or cloud architecture.
• Personal ownership of complex, multi-system designs from requirements through implementation.
• Experience designing API-based (REST), event-driven, and distributed system architectures.
• Experience with enterprise applications and integration platforms: Salesforce, NetSuite, Celigo, or comparable (e.g., MuleSoft, Boomi).
• Experience integrating those platforms with surrounding systems.
• Cloud architecture experience on AWS and/or Azure: HA, DR, scalability, resiliency, security, and IaC.
• Experience defining NFRs for production systems: performance, availability, reliability, maintainability, and disaster recovery.
• Strong technical writing and communication, including leading architecture reviews and influencing teams through tradeoff discussions.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Healthcare (strong plus): architecting systems that handle PHI under HIPAA requirements.
• Application architecture: React.js and modern web application architecture, including front-end integration with backend and cloud services.
• IoT and connected devices: Device-to-cloud integration and telemetry ingestion
• Device provisioning, device management, and over-the-air (OTA) updates
• Near-real-time alerting
• Data and streaming: NoSQL and time-series databases (DynamoDB, InfluxDB, TimescaleDB)
• Event streaming with Kafka / Confluent Kafka
• Security architecture: threat modeling, zero-trust architecture, IAM, secure API design, secure SDLC, and vulnerability management.
• Telecom and real-time communications: contact center, CPaaS, UCaaS, SIP, WebRTC, or captioning platforms.
• Mobile push notifications: APNs and FCM.
• SLAs and SLOs: defining and validating them, plus cloud migration experience.
• Regulated environments: wellness, safety-critical, telecom, or other regulated settings, including HIPAA, FCC, PCI, and accessibility requirements.
• Device engineering partnership: working with embedded, firmware, mobile, or device engineering teams.
• Architecture governance: ADRs, reference architectures, and architecture repositories.
