Responsibilities
- Own or contribute to reference architectures for the core healthcare data platform, including ingestion, transformation, distribution, serving, applications, and services.
- Define architecture standards for scalability, high availability, disaster recovery, serverless patterns, multi-tenant SaaS, secure operations, and cloud environments.
- Design data application architectures across payer, membership, provider, clinical, laboratory, and pharmacy domains using healthcare interoperability patterns where relevant.
- Establish reusable application blueprints, data contracts, lineage, metadata, quality controls, integration patterns, identity and authorization capabilities, and front-end standards.
- Translate architecture standards into skills, rules, templates, evaluation rubrics, and review mechanisms for agent-assisted development workflows.
- Partner with AI Engineering on semantic and context layers, agent interfaces, retrieval patterns, AI gateways, evaluation, traceability, and governed model access.
- Define production-readiness requirements covering deployment topology, support models, rollback strategies, telemetry, observability, infrastructure as code, and operational metrics.
- Participate in architecture and data guilds, design reviews, pairing, pilots, hackathons, mentoring, and organization-wide knowledge sharing.
- Create architecture decision records, non-functional requirements, operational-readiness checklists, and adoption measurements for platform standards.
