Senior Solution Architect for digital health

Background:
We are seeking a Senior Solution Architect who is interested in producing technical deliverables - including solution and system architectures and documentation - and has a deep technical understanding of data processing systems. The solution architect will be part of a consolidation project in which we are architecting, implementing and migrating a large-scale sensor data platform used in the context of clinical trials. The platform enables ingestion, storage, processing and analysis of a large volume of high-frequency sensor data. The solution architect will focus on specific elements of this sensor data platform by creating technical architectures in collaboration with the wider project leadership team, and oversee the execution and implementation of the technical architectures by working directly with engineering teams.

The perfect candidate has about 8 years in solution or technical architecture roles experience and strong experience designing and documenting solutions on AWS. Also we are looking for someone with Python development experience for automation, prototyping, or validation along with strong English communication skills.

Tasks & Responsibilities:
• Architectural Content Creation: Produce architecture documents, diagrams, specifications, integration maps, data flow designs, and migration roadmaps.
• Hands-On Execution: Develop and validate POCs when appropriate using Python and cloud-native tooling.
• API & Endpoint Design: Design, document, and optimize APIs/endpoints for integration and scalability.
• Cloud Architecture (AWS): Design and validate solutions leveraging AWS services.
• Data & System Migration: Plan and document approaches for migrating applications, databases, and infrastructure across environments.
• Implementation Guidance: Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure implementations follow architectural designs and technical standards.
• Documentation: Produce and maintain high-quality technical documentation of architectures and designs.
• Compliance Awareness: (Nice-to-have) Experience working in regulated environments such as SaMD (Software as a Medical Device) or CSV (Computer System Validation).

Must Have:
• 8+ years in solution or technical architecture roles.
• Python development experience for automation, prototyping, or validation.
• Strong experience designing and documenting solutions on AWS.
• Proven knowledge of API/endpoint architectures (REST, event-driven).
• Hands-on experience in data and system migrations.
• Ability to work closely with engineering teams to guide implementation.
• Strong skills in creating detailed technical documentation.
• (Preferred) Exposure to regulated environments (SaMD, CSV).
• Fluent English skills are a MUST

Nice to Have:
• Executor, not Delegator: Focused on doing the work and producing high-quality outputs.
• Detail-Oriented: Ensures accuracy and completeness in all technical deliverables.
• Hands-On: Actively engages with technologies, code, and tools.
• Collaborative: Partners with engineers to ensure smooth implementation of designs.
• Dependable: Trusted to provide consistent, high-quality content for leader ship use.
