Job Description Summary

ModMed is looking for a Senior Software Architect to serve as a technical linchpin within our Architecture Organization. Reporting directly to the Director of Software Architecture, you will be responsible for turning high-level business strategies into scalable, high-performing technical realities.

You will lead the design of complex, cloud-native systems, ensuring that our software products are not only innovative but also resilient, secure, and built for long-term sustainability. As a Senior Architect, you will act as a bridge between the Director’s vision and the engineering teams’ execution, providing the technical blueprints and leadership necessary to modernize our healthcare technology suite.

What you'll do

• Architectural Blueprinting: Define the technical solutions, assumptions, and constraints for major initiatives and create the technical roadmaps that align with our “multi-generation” software plans.
• Cloud‑Native Evolution: Lead the migration and optimization of ModMed products into a unified cloud engineering organization utilizing AWS, Azure, and GCP best practices.
• Standardization & Reuse: Identify recurring patterns across different product lines to develop common frameworks, reducing duplication and driving engineering efficiency across the enterprise.
• Hands‑on Technical Leadership: Develop prototypes (POCs), establish CI/CD standards, and embed modern SRE/DevOps principles into every design.
• Technical Governance: Evaluate existing systems to identify bottlenecks in performance, security, or cost, and propose actionable architectural shifts.
• Mentorship: Act as a mentor to staff and senior engineers, elevating the technical bar across the organization and ensuring the architecture is understood and correctly implemented.

What you'll bring

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 3+ years in a dedicated architectural role.
• Proven track record of designing and scaling large-scale, distributed SaaS applications.
• Expertise in horizontal scaling, database sharding, and event-driven architectures.
• Deep experience with cloud‑native principles (Containers, Kubernetes, Serverless, and Service Mesh) and multi-cloud strategies.
• Expert knowledge of Agile, Lean, and SAFe and integration of architectural runway into fast-moving development sprints.
• Strong experience with automation frameworks, observability (APM, logging), and security‑by-design (DevSecOps).
• Exceptional ability to decompose complex problems and explain them clearly to both developers and executive leadership.

Benefits

ModMed offers a competitive benefits package designed to meet the diverse needs of our workforce.

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits including a company Health Savings Account contribution.
• 401(k) with a matching contribution of 50% of your contribution deferred on up to 6% of your compensation.
• Generous Paid Time Off and Paid Parental Leave programs.
• Company‑paid Life and Disability benefits.
• Flexible Spending Account and Employee Assistance Programs.
• Company‑sponsored Business Resource & Special Interest Groups.
• Professional development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement and unlimited access to LinkedIn Learning.
• Global presence and in-person collaboration opportunities; dog‑friendly HQ (US), hybrid office‑based roles and remote availability.
• Weekly catered breakfast and lunch, treadmill workstations, Zen, and wellness rooms within our headquarters.
