Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes.
Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients.
Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise.
Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.
This role sits within a strategic investment to embed AI into how we operate, serve customers, and make decisions within our healthcare business. We're building a healthcare-wide AI data and context platform with a focus on deep domain expertise embedded throughout our architecture. Our goals are:
Turn structured and unstructured information into trusted, reusable "building blocks" (semantic layers, retrieval services, and agent-ready interfaces) that accelerate product innovation
Deliver transformational speed and leverage — faster time-to-insight, higher automation of knowledge work, and a foundation that scales AI safely and reliably as adoption grows
Unlock new capabilities across our business and create the foundation that drives deeper domain innovation and cross-domain collaboration
This is a hands-on technical architect who owns the design and delivery of core AI/context data capabilities. The role is responsible for end-to-end architecture decisions across the platform — unstructured ingestion, embeddings, retrieval, semantic layers, and governance — while partnering across engineering, product, and AI teams to ship production-grade AI data products. Leadership is through technical ownership, design authority, and cross-functional influence.
Architect and own the AI context platform
Define scalable patterns for incremental refresh, backfills, re-embeddings, deduplication, and lineage across unstructured sources
Set technical direction for retrieval quality (query strategies, hybrid search, metadata filtering, reranking) in partnership with AI engineers
Design and deliver semantic and governed data products
Define data contracts and context contracts for AI inputs (schemas, metadata requirements, freshness, citation expectations)
Own reliability and performance at the platform level: monitoring, alerting, SLAs/SLOs, runbooks, incident response, and postmortems
Set engineering standards for CI/CD, testing, and evaluation (retrieval eval sets, regression tests, online telemetry)
AI safety, governance, and compliance
Implement security-by-design: RBAC/ABAC patterns, PII redaction, retention controls, audit logging, and safe access pathways for agent tools
This role is expected to grow into direct people leadership over time. As the platform matures and the engineering team expands, the Architect will take on formal responsibility for leading a small team of engineers — owning hiring input, technical development, and delivery oversight. Candidates should be comfortable with that trajectory and motivated by the opportunity to build and shape a team from an early stage.

Hands-on Snowflake expertise including advanced data modeling, pipeline design, performance tuning, and operating at scale in production
Proven experience designing cloud data architectures on AWS, Azure, or GCP — including storage, compute, orchestration, and networking considerations
Business-curious and domain-eager: Proactively learns healthcare processes, terminology, and KPIs — can speak credibly with SMEs and business leaders, not just translate requirements but help shape the right questions and success measures
Stakeholder-first collaborator: Builds strong relationships with stakeholders, SMEs, and consultants; clarifies goals, constraints, and tradeoffs early; communicates progress and risks clearly; sets realistic expectations around timelines, scope, and quality
Consultative problem-solver: Approaches requests with a "diagnose before prescribe" mindset — asks smart questions, proposes options, and guides teams toward durable solutions rather than one-off fixes
