About the Role

We're seeking a handson Lead Software Architect and decisive technical leader to design and evolve a secure, multitenant, cloudnative platform built on .NET in AWS . Our stack includes PostgreSQL , React with Fluent UI , and modern DevSecOps practices. You will serve as the architecture decision maker : define the target state, make and record key tradeoffs (ADRs), communicate clearly to executives and engineers, and partner with Security / Compliance to meet HIPAA requirements. You'll guide teams through delivery while keeping solutions simple, scalable, and costaware.

What You'll Do

Act as the architecture decision maker : own ADRs and design governance, set standards, and make build / buy / vendor choices that balance speed, cost, and risk.

Communicate with clarity : translate tradeoffs for executives and customers; facilitate highsignal design reviews and whiteboard sessions.

Own the architecture for a greenfield / cloudnative .NET platform on AWS; produce reference architectures, threat models, and deployment blueprints.

Design for multitenant SaaS : tenant isolation, data partitioning strategies, rate limiting, pertenant configuration, and cost / usage observability.

Model core domains & APIs using domaindriven design; define contracts, versioning, and API gateways; champion consistency and evolvability.

Select & integrate AWS services (ECS / EKS or Lambda, API Gateway / ALB, S3 / CloudFront, RDS / Aurora PostgreSQL, ElastiCache / Redis, SQS / SNS or RabbitMQ, OpenSearch, KMS, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, IAM).

Data architecture for PostgreSQL : schema and migration strategy, performance (indexes / partitioning), read / write scaling, and HA / DR (backups, replicas, RTO / RPO).

Frontend architecture with React + Fluent UI : component library strategy, accessibility (WCAG), performance budgets, and SSR / edge delivery where appropriate.

Securitybydesign : encryption in transit / at rest, leastprivilege IAM, SSO (OIDC / SAML), secret rotation, audit trails, and secure SDLC gates.

HIPAA alignment : partner with Security / Compliance on safeguards (administrative, physical, technical), logging / audit requirements, and evidence for SOC 2 / HITRUST.

Reliability & performance : SLOs / SLIs, capacity planning, load testing, chaos / resiliency patterns (circuit breakers, timeouts, backoff, idempotency).

Observability : implement distributed tracing / metrics / logging (OpenTelemetry), golden signals, dashboards, and actionable alerting.

DevEx and velocity : CI / CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or AWS CDK), environment strategy (feature envs / preview apps), and automated quality gates.

Mentor and lead engineers through design reviews, pairing, and coaching; foster a hightrust, learningoriented culture.

Required Qualifications

Exceptional communication and influence skills : clear written / verbal storytelling for executives, customers, and engineers; facilitation of workshops and whiteboard sessions.

8+ years building production web platforms; 3+ years in an architect / techlead role owning system design and decisions.

AWS expertise designing secure, highly available, costaware services (VPC / networking, IAM / KMS, API Gateway / ALB, ECS / EKS or Lambda, RDS / Aurora PostgreSQL, CloudWatch).

Expert in C# / .NET (ASP.NET Core) and modern API patterns (REST / JSON; bonus : gRPC).

Proficiency with PostgreSQL (schema design, performance tuning, migrations, backup / restore / replication).

Frontend proficiency in React ; familiarity with Fluent UI and accessibility best practices.

Deep understanding of multitenant SaaS patterns, distributed systems, and eventdriven architectures.

Track record implementing observability , CI / CD , and IaC in production.

Security fundamentals : OAuth2 / OIDC, TLS, leastprivilege IAM, secure coding; working knowledge of HIPAA technical safeguards.

Nice to Have

Experience with HL7 v2 / FHIR integrations, EHR ecosystems (Epic / Cerner), or interface engines (e.g., Mirth Connect).

HITRUST / SOC 2 program experience (controls, evidence, and audit readiness).

Messaging / streaming : RabbitMQ , SQS / SNS , or Kafka; patterns for exactlyonceeffect via idempotency.

Container orchestration ( EKS or ECS ), service meshes, and zerotrust networking.

Caching (Redis / ElastiCache), search ( OpenSearch / Elasticsearch ), and reporting / analytics patterns.

Performance engineering (load modeling, flamegraphs, memory / GC tuning in .NET).

Experience with Next.js or SSR / edge rendering for React.

What Success Looks Like (6-12 months)

A vetted reference architecture with ADRs, diagrams, and guardrails adopted across teams.

Productionready multitenant foundation with automated provisioning and pertenant telemetry.

Secure, observable MVP deployed to AWS with defined SLOs and error budgets.

CI / CD delivering fast, safe releases (blue / green or canary), with automated quality gates.

Evidence mapped to HIPAA / SOC 2 / HITRUST controls for key services.

Work Style & Collaboration

Remotefirst with very limited inperson whiteboard sessions (1-2 days per quarter or as needed with advance notice); travel supported.

Partner with Product, Security / Compliance, and Customer Success; engage with key customers and clinical stakeholders when needed.

Lead design reviews and coach teams; prefer simple, evolvable solutions over speculative complexity.

Equal Opportunity
