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/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.
