You have partnered with engineering managers to get architectural work onto a roadmap and delivered incrementally

You have made and defended build-vs-buy recommendations

You have prioritized and pitched tech debt: what to accumulate, what to hold, what to pay down, and what to retire

Experience designing data models on relational stores (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, or similar), including schema evolution in production

Experience designing real-time data or event-driven systems

Experience designing integrations across product boundaries including versioned interfaces, compatibility guarantees, and failure isolation

Experience designing front-end architecture at scale including component libraries, state management, and design-system and module boundaries

A track record of mentoring engineers

Excellent written and verbal communication: you move between engineers, executives, and customers in the same day, adopting each audience's vocabulary without diluting the substance

Equally comfortable leading small, short-lived cross-team groups and working independently

Comfortable in a fast-moving, growth-minded environment where requirements change

You teach what you learn and are comfortable learning from others regardless of seniority

Familiarity with our stack: TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, Redis, Agno, Vite, uv, Containers, Terraform, Azure

Integrating AI/LLM capabilities into production systems, including validation of model outputs

Designing systems under regulatory constraint: validation, audit trails, data integrity, traceability, attribution, etc.

Clinical trials or regulated healthcare domain experience
