1 per engagement
Core Focus
End-to-end solution architecture, system integration, deployment, and cross-workstream governance across SI delivery, product vendor, and customer
End-to-End Solution Architecture & Governance
- Own the complete solution architecture across data engineering, AI/ML, IAM/security, QA, analytics, and client IT workstreams
- Act as the technical anchor in a tri-party delivery model ? bridging SI delivery team, platform vendor product team, and customer IT leadership
- Define solution blueprints covering data ingestion, transformation, master data management, analytics, AI/ML, dashboards, and write-back to source systems
- Ensure all workstreams converge into a coherent, production-grade deployment with clearly defined integration contracts between teams
Platform Capability Mapping
- Map customer requirements to platform capabilities ? identify what is available out-of-the-box, what can be configured, what needs customization, and what requires a product update from the vendor
- Manage expectations across all three parties ? ensure the solution does not overpromise against current platform reality
- Drive roadmap conversations with the product vendor when customer requirements exceed current capabilities
System Integration Design
- Design end-to-end integration topology across the customer's technology landscape: EHR systems (Epic, Cerner), legacy databases, SFTP feeds, HL7 v2/FHIR R4 interfaces, claims/EDI feeds, IT operations platforms, and security telemetry systems
- Define connector sequencing, protocol selection, API gateway design, network constraints (firewall rules, IP whitelisting, VPN), and error handling patterns
- Coordinate with customer IT on source system access and with vendor product team on connector capabilities and limitations
Deployment, DevOps & Environment Governance
- Design environment topology (Dev, QA, Staging, Prod), workspace isolation strategy, and CI/CD pipelines for platform artifacts
- Define environment promotion gates, rollback procedures, disaster recovery architecture, and RTO/RPO targets
- Establish DevOps practices: infrastructure-as-code,
automated testing, deployment automation, monitoring, and alerting
- Define deployment model for AI agents (versioning, guardrail promotion, canary deployment) and dashboards (embedded vs standalone, refresh schedules, data gateway architecture)
Risk & Escalation Management
- Manage tri-party escalation path: SI delivery blockers, vendor platform gaps, and customer infrastructure or access dependencies
- Surface platform limitations, technical debt, and roadmap dependencies early; act as honest broker across all parties
- Maintain architecture decision log and technical risk register
Client Interface & Steering
- Chair technical steering committee with representation from SI, vendor, and customer
- Own go-live technical readiness assessment
- Serve as technical counterpart to customer CTO, CISO, and VP of IT
- Primary technical liaison to platform vendor team for escalations, feature requests, and roadmap alignment
Pre-Sales & Solution Design
- Create architecture diagrams, integration topology, and deployment models for customer proposals and RFP responses
- Ensure proposals are grounded in platform reality ? what is supported today vs what is on the vendor roadmap
- Participate in technical defense during customer orals and solution presentations
