Job summary

Smile Digital Health is seeking a Senior Solutions Architect – Implementations to design scalable, standards-aligned healthcare data solutions on the Smile platform. You will work directly with enterprise clients during discovery and early design, guiding them toward the right architecture.

This role emphasizes communication, curiosity, and hands-on guidance across the full implementation lifecycle, including post-go-live support and collaboration with Product, Engineering, QA, and Delivery

Qualifications

• 10+ years in software engineering, technical consulting, or solution architecture, ideally with healthcare implementations.
• Proven ability to lead customer-facing architecture and design discussions with payer/provider/governmental healthcare organizations.
• Experience designing real-time data ingestion solutions with Kafka, Camel, Pulsar and FHIR-based data workflows.
• Strong understanding of clinical data modeling and terminology mapping (SNOMED CT, RxNorm, LOINC) across ingestion, transformation and API exposure.
• Experience with cloud-native architecture and deployment in AWS/Azure/GCP using Docker, Helm, and Kubernetes.
• Ability to identify trade-offs and adapt designs in response to new constraints.
• Excellent verbal and written communication for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaborative with cross-functional teams including product, engineering, QA, and delivery.
• Comfortable in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with evolving requirements.
• Proficiency with diagramming/design tools like Lucidchart to communicate decisions.

Responsibilities

• Lead architectural design and solutioning during discovery and early implementation phases with healthcare customers to surface unknowns and co-design scalable, standards-aligned solutions.
• Provide ongoing architectural oversight and hands-on guidance throughout the full implementation lifecycle and post-go-live, aligned with Smile’s best practices and product capabilities.
• Evaluate customer requirements and make technical recommendations on performance tuning, ingestion workflows, bundle design, and terminology mapping.
• Collaborate with internal teams (Product, Engineering, QA, Agile Leads, Solution Architects, TAMs) to resolve architectural questions and shape product improvements.
• Take ownership of evolving designs when new constraints emerge during delivery (scalability, deployment friction, real-time ingest gaps).
• Participate in customer meetings, design reviews, and change discussions; support escalations and decisions.
• Contribute to internal architecture review boards, design docs, and reusable assets to scale implementation excellence.
• Stay current with product roadmap, tech stack, and regulatory mandates; proactively learn new tools.
