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. You will 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: While this is an architecture role, you will remain “hands‑on” by developing prototypes (POCs), establishing CI/CD standards, and ensuring modern SRE/DevOps principles are baked into every design.
• Technical Governance: Evaluate existing systems to identify bottlenecks in performance, security, or cost, and propose actionable architectural shifts to resolve them.
• 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. You should be an expert 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. You understand how to integrate architectural runway into a fast‑moving development sprint.
• Solid 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.
