Position Summary
We are seeking a Lead Domain Architect to serve as the operational counterpart to the Principal Architect, responsible for executing architecture across the Medicare Sales & Acquisition ecosystem. This role translates strategic architecture into implementable designs across domain, application, and data layers, ensuring delivery teams build scalable, compliant, and cloud-aligned solutions.
This role focuses on service decomposition, API architecture, and cloud implementation, enabling modular, reusable capabilities that support omnichannel engagement, broker enablement, and direct-to-consumer experiences.
Key Responsibilities:
Domain & Application Architecture
Own detailed architecture across sales, enrollment, broker, and engagement domains. Decompose capabilities into modular services aligned to Tier 1-3 domain models, ensuring clear service boundaries and reusability.
Microservices & API Architecture
Define and enforce microservice design and API-first principles. Establish functional API patterns (aggregation/orchestration), service contracts, and versioning standards to ensure scalability and maintainability.
Cloud Architecture Implementation
Translate cloud strategy into deployable patterns across AWS (or equivalent), including compute, storage, and event-driven architectures. Ensure solutions meet performance, resiliency, and AEP-scale requirements.
Data Strategy & Integration
Define canonical data models, system-of-record ownership, and integration patterns (event-driven and request/response). Ensure interoperability across platforms while preventing data duplication and point-to-point integrations.
Governance & Standards Enforcement
Act as design authority for delivery teams. Conduct architecture reviews, enforce compliance with architectural standards, and provide corrective direction where solutions deviate from defined patterns.
Platform Rationalization
Evaluate platforms and services for coupling, scalability, and cost. Support reduction of redundant capabilities and enforce separation between system of experience and system of record.
Execution Support to Principal Architect
Operate as a direct delegate for deep architectural work, artifact creation, and cross-team alignment. Own execution of architectural decisions and ensure follow-through across teams.
Required Qualifications
8–12+ years in software architecture or senior engineering roles
Strong experience in domain-based architecture and service decomposition
Proven delivery of microservices and API-first architectures
Experience with cloud-native architectures (AWS preferred)
Knowledge of distributed systems, scalability, and integration patterns
Experience in regulated environments (healthcare, financial services, etc.)
Strong ability to influence engineering teams and enforce architectural standards
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with event-driven architectures and real-time data processing
Familiarity with multi-cloud environments and API management platforms
Background in healthcare benefits, sales, or customer acquisition systems
Certifications: AWS/Azure Architect or equivalent
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
Master’s degree preferred
