Senior Solution Architect

Summary

Join Altarum as a Senior Solution Architect to design and deliver cutting-edge health information exchange (HIE), disease surveillance, and registry solutions. You will leverage advanced AI/ML capabilities, guide clients through the interoperability landscape, architect cloud-native platforms, and contribute to winning and implementing complex data/SaaS contracts. Responsibilities include architecting end-to-end workflows, integrating AI/ML components, defining integration patterns, analyzing the competitive landscape, leading technical workshops, designing API security, mentoring engineering teams, communicating architectures to executives, and authoring technical proposals. This role requires extensive experience in health IT systems, HL7 FHIR and v2, disease surveillance platforms, AI/ML integration, and pre-sales support. A strong understanding of the interoperability market, state and federal contracting, and executive-level communication is essential. The position offers a competitive salary and benefits package.

Requirements

• 8+ years designing and engineering large-scale health-IT systems, including hands on engineering expertise; 3+ years in a lead/architect role
• Expertise in HL7 FHIR (profiling, IG creation, bulk data) and HL7 v2 messaging workflows
• Deep understanding of the interoperability market —vendors, regulations, and customer challenges
• Experience with disease-surveillance platforms (e.g., ELR, eCR, BioSense, ESSENCE), and state/federal registries (cancer, immunization, newborn screening)
• Track record integrating AI/ML solutions —such as predictive risk models, NLP pipelines, or generative-AI copilots—into production health-IT environments
• Pre-sales or sales-engineering background supporting complex data/SaaS offerings and driving successful implementations
• Familiarity with state and federal contracting lifecycles (RFPs, IDIQs/GWACs, proposal compliance)
• Exceptional executive-level communication skills —able to distill technical concepts for CIOs, CMOs, and policy leaders
• Cloud architecture expertise on AWS, Azure, or GCP (Kubernetes, serverless)
• Security & compliance: OAuth 2.0, SMART scopes, Mutual TLS, HIPAA, NIST 800-53, HITRUST CSF
• Bachelor’s in CS, Information Systems, Biomedical/Public Health Informatics, or equivalent

Responsibilities

• Architect end-to-end HIE, registry, and surveillance workflows —including ELR, eCR, syndromic surveillance, cancer registries, immunization registries, and vital records—aligned with TEFCA, CDC/NNDSS/NCHS, and QHIN specifications
• Integrate AI/ML components (e.g., NLP for unstructured data extraction, predictive analytics, generative-AI assistants) into clinical‐ and public-health data pipelines, ensuring model governance and bias mitigation
• Define integration patterns using HL7 FHIR resources, RESTful APIs, and legacy HL7 v2 interfaces while preserving backward compatibility with provider EHRs and public -health systems
• Analyze the interoperability competitive landscape —benchmark vendors, surface customer pain points, and craft differentiating roadmaps
• Lead technical discovery & pre-sales workshops ; partner with capture teams to position complex data/SaaS offerings for local, state and federal procurements
• Design and enforce API security (OAuth 2.0/OIDC, Mutual TLS, SMART scopes), privacy segmentation, and HIPAA/HITRUST safeguards
• Mentor engineering & DevOps teams on micro-services, CI/CD, IaC, automated FHIR testing, and MLOps
• Communicate architectures to senior executives at national and state levels—translating deep technical concepts into clear business value
• Author technical proposals and develop accurate levels of effort and pricing to guide seamless transition from award to delivery and ensure profitable execution

Preferred Qualifications

• TOGAF, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, or comparable certification
• Experience integrating payer systems (CMS APIs, DaVinci IGs) or applying advanced analytics to public-health surveillance
• Exposure to USCDI+, SDOH data models, and patient-mediated exchange
• Master’s degree in Health or Public-Health Informatics

Benefits

• Competitive Medical, Dental and Optical plans
• Generous Paid Time Off, 8 Company observed holidays plus 3 floating holidays
• Tuition Assistance
• 401K Plan (3% employer contribution plus opportunity for gainsharing)
• Life, AD&D & Disability coverage
• A flexible work environment and more!
