Proven track record designing internal platforms that other engineering teams build on, including developer experience, APIs and SDKs, and self‑serve patterns
Strong architectural breadth across cloud‑native systems, distributed systems, data platforms, and security architecture
Demonstrated ability to produce high‑quality architecture documents and decision records, and to communicate design trade‑offs clearly to engineering and product audiences
Preferred qualifications and skills:
Experience with the Azure AI stack (Azure OpenAI, AKS, APIM) and the Databricks lakehouse (Unity Catalog, model serving)
Background in healthcare technology platforms or clinical workflows
Experience guiding engineering teams as a senior architect or technical lead within a platform organization
