Position Summary

As a Principal Solutions Architect, you will lead enterprise-wide architecture strategy and drive modernization across a complex, high-volume healthcare ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of business and technology, translating strategic initiatives into scalable, future-state solutions that improve performance, integration, and user experience.

You will partner closely with business leaders, product teams, and engineering organizations to design and deliver solutions that support mission-critical capabilities—particularly within claims and payment processing across Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid lines of business.

This role is highly focused on upstream architecture—defining business processes, system interactions, and solution designs—while leveraging modern technologies including cloud platforms, AI-assisted development, and low-code/no-code tools. You will play a key role in mainframe modernization efforts and help shape the enterprise’s roadmap for AI-enabled and cloud-native transformation.

This position can work remotely from anywhere in the continental USA.

Key Responsibilities

Establish and drive adoption of enterprise architectural standards, frameworks, and best practices across business units and initiatives
Partner with business stakeholders to translate features and requirements into end-to-end architectural solutions, including business process models and system designs
Lead architecture initiatives supporting claims and payment processing systems, including development of an enterprise Claim Cache strategy
Design and deliver scalable, event-driven architectures leveraging APIs, microservices, and cloud-native technologies
Develop system impact models and integration strategies across large-scale ecosystems (50+ applications, 250+ integrations)
Create detailed solution architectures, including NFRs (scalability, resiliency, failover, observability, and performance)
Drive mainframe modernization initiatives, enabling migration to cloud and microservices-based platforms with minimal business disruption
Identify, evaluate, and integrate emerging technologies such as AI/ML, cloud services, and low-code/no-code platforms to accelerate solution delivery
Leverage AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude, copilots) and cloud platforms to build POCs, prototypes, and user experience concepts
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Business Analysts, Engineering, QA, Infrastructure, and Product) to ensure alignment from design through execution
Evaluate solution options and develop technology roadmaps balancing legacy systems with modernization goals
Develop cost models and ROI-driven recommendations to support strategic decision-making
Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership by providing guidance on enterprise integration strategies and future-state architecture vision

Required Qualifications

15+ years of experience across software engineering, architecture, and enterprise delivery
8+ years of experience as a Solutions Architect designing enterprise-scale, distributed systems
Proven experience with event-driven architecture, APIs, and microservices in high-volume transactional environments
Strong experience designing solutions across complex integration ecosystems (50+ applications, 250+ integrations)
Demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into architectural solutions, including system impact analysis and business process modeling
Experience with enterprise data platforms and integration tools (e.g., MongoDB, Cosmos DB, SQL Server, DB2, DataStage, IIB, ODM)
5+ years of experience architecting solutions on cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
Experience defining and validating non-functional requirements (scalability, resilience, performance, observability)
Strong communication skills with ability to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working in healthcare payer environments, especially claims and payment processing systems
Familiarity with business process modeling tools (e.g., Appian, BPMN-based platforms)
Experience leading or contributing to mainframe modernization initiatives
Exposure to AI/ML technologies and AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, copilots)
Experience leveraging low-code/no-code platforms to accelerate solution design and delivery
Experience building proof-of-concepts (POCs) and prototypes using cloud technologies
Hands-on experience with at least one programming language (e.g., Java, .NET; COBOL exposure is a plus)
Cloud architecture certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect, Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect)
Experience working in both Agile and Waterfall delivery environments

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field required or equivalent experience
Master’s degree preferred
