Job description

Are you a multi-faceted architect ready for your next challenge? Smart, pragmatic, and someone who actually gets things done? Tired of being stuck in a corporate rut? Do you like flexing across domains, being the "go-to" for both business and tech, and mentoring others along the way.

Our mission is simple: help our clients get maximum value out of their technology investments. We assess enterprise architectures, design complex integrations, and provide architecture leadership for big, messy initiatives like mergers, modernizations, and cloud migrations. We don't do software development or run infrastructure. We're the trusted experts our clients lean on for the two questions that matter most.

• What should they do (enterprise architecture and planning)
• How should they do it (solution architecture)

Most of the time you're leading solution design on large, complex security projects: architecting end-to-end solutions and working through integration patterns, data flows, APIs, security, and the non-functional details that make or break a design. It's a hands-on seat AND a strategy-deck seat. The center of gravity is you in the thick of it, creating guardrails for security architecture in an AI-emergent world and owning the toughest solution designs yourself and stepping in when a domain needs reinforcement, a decision is stuck, or a design needs a second set of expert eyes.

Requirements

What we're really after: You're a seasoned solution architect who has worked within large, complex organizations and is technically current enough to design real solutions, not just hand down principles. You adeptly navigate organization politics and facilitate fact-based decisions.

• Personally designing end-to-end solutions: integration patterns, data flows, APIs, security, and the non-functional stuff that makes or breaks a design
• Establishing, but also carrying enterprise standards and strategies into the projects you work on, and keeping designs aligned with them, without needing to own or police the governance machinery.
• Ramping up quickly on new business capabilities and processes, quickly filling gaps in your knowledge so you can partner with those business users and design solutions that fit how they actually operate.
• Real breadth across application, data, and integration architecture, with genuine depth in data and modern data patterns, comfortable working across cloud and on-prem environments, and the judgment to evaluate vendors and platforms on the merits
• Translating fluently between the executive/business view and engineering reality, and defending a recommendation with facts and trade-offs in a room with either audience
• Financial services or other regulated-industry experience is a strong plus

Bonus Points

• Experience in Health Care, ideally on the payer side
• Experience conducting security risk assessments for complex enterprise solutions
• A solid working knowledge of AI in large enterprises and specifically the security implications "on both sides of the fence."

Non-Starters

• At this time we don't sponsor immigration applications (H‑1B, etc.) and are only interested in direct candidates (no agencies). Background check is required.

Benefits

The comp for this role ranges (based on skills and experience) from $125K - $185K. On top of that: generous PTO and paid holidays, a company‑funded health reimbursement (QSEHRA) toward your insurance premiums and medical costs, and a 401(k) with company contribution. All fully remote, with a steady stream of diverse, high‑impact projects and smart people to work alongside.
