Lead Technology Architect

Qualifications

• Extensive senior experience in software engineering or technology architecture, with deep expertise in one or more architecture disciplines: quality assurance and test engineering, software architecture, data architecture, security architecture, or AI and ML governance.
• Proven track record governing technical standards across multiple delivery teams or product lines, with measurable impact on quality, reliability, or compliance outcomes. Influence through standards and process, not headcount.
• Experience designing and operating test automation frameworks, CI/CD quality gates, or quality engineering programs at scale in a production software environment. Hands-on background is a prerequisite for credibility in this role.
• Strong background in regulated technology environments (SOC2, HIPAA, SOX, or comparable frameworks) and the ability to translate regulatory requirements into actionable engineering standards that delivery teams can follow.
• Experience serving multiple delivery teams from a shared practice or platform function, including SLA management, prioritization, and contention resolution across teams with competing timelines.
• Demonstrated ability to drive adoption of technical standards across engineering teams that did not author those standards -- through documentation, tooling, training, and review processes rather than authority alone.
• Excellent executive communication skills. The ability to make technical governance work visible, credible, and worth investing in for a business-facing leadership audience is a core requirement of this role.
• Experience in US healthcare, benefits, insurance, or financial services technology is a strong plus; the ability to learn and operate in a regulated domain quickly is a requirement.
