Principal Solution / Technical Architect
Project Overview
We are looking for a Principal Solution / Technical Architect with a strong engineering background and a proven track record of leading technical discovery, shaping solution architectures, and driving pre-sales activities. This role focuses on pre-sales, discovery, PoC development, prototyping, preparing technical proposals, and guiding early project phases until the engineering team is fully established.
Experience leading engineering teams is a plus, as it helps structure delivery teams and plan execution for client proposals. The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise with excellent communication skills to interact with client stakeholders at all levels, including C-level executives.
Responsibilities
Pre-Sales and Technical Proposals
- Lead the technical part of pre-sales cycles: architecture vision, effort estimations, risk assessment, and technical feasibility validation
- Build fast PoCs and prototypes using rapid development tools to validate business ideas and technical approaches
- Prepare technical proposals that include architectural options, trade-off analyses, and delivery assumptions
- Participate in client discovery sessions and calls, presenting technical decisions to stakeholders at all levels, including C-level executives
Architecture and System Design
- Define system architecture for greenfield projects and legacy system modernization
- Audit existing systems and provide consulting on improvement strategies, technical debt reduction, and modernization paths
- Create architecture documents covering system components, integrations, data flow, APIs, storage design, security, and operational model
- Ensure alignment with performance, scalability, security, and compliance requirements (especially for healthcare projects)
- Design data pipelines and data-processing flows (batch, streaming, ETL/ELT)
Project Initiation
- Support the initial project phase until the engineering team is onboarded
- Help form initial delivery plans, backlog structure, technical milestones, and team composition
- Guide tech stack selection, integration strategy, and development workflow
Qualifications
Technical Expertise
- 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience in senior/lead roles
- Deep technical background with modern backend stacks: at least JavaScript/TypeScript or Python. Java or other languages as a plus
- Full-stack understanding: backend architecture, frontend (React/Next.js), and basic mobile architecture understanding (SDLC, team structure, not requiring contributor-level expertise)
- Experience with both greenfield projects and legacy system modernization
- Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping and PoC building using appropriate tools for fast business idea validation
- Practical experience architecting microservices, data pipelines (ETL/ELT), API platforms, and event-driven systems
- Experience with AI integrations and basic understanding of AI/LLM capabilities and application patterns
- Familiar with cloud engineering, primarily AWS (Azure and GCP as a plus)
- Understanding of CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and secure development practices
- Architecture-level knowledge of relational/NoSQL databases, caching, messaging systems, and distributed patterns
Pre-Sales and Leadership Experience
- Experience supporting pre-sales cycles or preparing technical proposals
- Ability to evaluate architecture options and present trade-offs
- Experience planning engineering team structure and estimating project complexity (engineering lead background is a plus)
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and fact-based reasoning skills
- Excellent communication and soft skills: ability to communicate with client stakeholders at all levels, including C-level (CTO, CEO, etc.)
- Healthcare domain experience (HIPAA, PHI, compliance frameworks) is a strong plus
Nice-to-Have Skills
- Domain-driven design experience
- Machine learning knowledge and experience
- Experience building analytics solutions
- Prior consulting or solution-architecture experience
