Solutions Architect I or II, Corporate Solutions

About the role

This isn't a greenfield role. It's a forensic one. You'll inherit a complex, highly customized legacy environment spanning Finance, Legal, Compliance, Imaging, Archiving, Middleware, and Integrations — and your job is to understand it deeply, untangle it thoughtfully, and help us build something scalable, modern, and ready for what comes next.

Qualifications

• The Solutions Architect I would have a Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, plus seven years of IT experience including a minimum of two years of technical leadership and architecture experience, and at least three years designing end-to-end solutions in complex environments.
• Strong understanding of enterprise application ecosystems and integration patterns is required.
• Experience in the health insurance industry and payer-oriented processes and systems is preferred, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• The Solutions Architect II would have a Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field — advanced degree preferred — plus seven years of IT experience including a minimum of two years of technical leadership and architecture experience, and at least five years designing enterprise-scale solutions in complex environments.
• Deep understanding of enterprise application ecosystems, integration architecture, and legacy modernization is required.
• Experience in the health insurance industry, payer-oriented processes, and health insurance technologies and regulations is preferred, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Skills And Attributes

• Demonstrated experience with enterprise application ecosystems, including ERP, EPM, and the custom and SaaS applications that surround them — with the ability to assess what belongs where and why
• Strong command of integration architecture across file-based, API-driven, and streaming patterns, including REST and event-driven API design, managed file transfer, EDI/X12, and streaming integration using tools such as Kafka or equivalent
• Experience designing and evaluating data pipeline and ETL architectures, including both on-premises and cloud-native tooling
• Hands-on experience with AWS and Azure services including compute, storage, serverless, and data pipeline tooling
• Proficiency in modern development languages such as JavaScript/NodeJS, C#, or equivalent; comfortable writing and reviewing production-quality code to validate, prototype, or unblock complex technical problems
• Experience with custom and proprietary application development, including the ability to read, evaluate, and make recommendations on complex legacy codebases
• Familiarity with middleware and managed file transfer concepts and platforms
• Experience assessing and refactoring highly customized legacy codebases, including identifying opportunities to replace proprietary solutions with configurable, maintainable alternatives
• Familiarity with containers, serverless architectures, and SQL/NoSQL database design in cloud and hybrid environments
• Experience with telemetry and observability tooling such as CloudWatch, NewRelic, or equivalent to support monitoring and performance benchmarking
• Knowledge of architecture frameworks such as TOGAF or Archimate, or equivalent
• Experience documenting solutions in enterprise architecture modeling tools

• Assess and refactor highly customized legacy codebases, identifying opportunities to replace proprietary solutions with configurable, maintainable, and scalable alternatives
• Partner with engineering managers to establish technical direction, standards, and expectations across Corporate Solutions delivery teams
• Audit project status to ensure technical and process excellence
• Mentor engineers and architects, actively contributing to the upskilling of a 30–40 person organization
• Translate complex technical concepts for non-technical business stakeholders and executive audiences, and translate business strategy into actionable technical direction
