Who you are

- We are looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, can zoom out to evaluate systems holistically, but is not afraid to dive into code to unblock teams or lead by example

- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

- 8+ years of professional software development experience, with at least 3+ years in a senior, staff, or principal-level role

- Proven track record designing and building distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native services using .NET Core (C#) and modern front-end frameworks (React or Angular)

- Experience with AI/ML services or architectural contributions to innovation-driven initiatives

- Strong experience in domain-driven design (DDD), microservices, and event-driven architectures using tools such as Apache Kafka (or similar platforms like RabbitMQ, AWS SNS/SQS), including familiarity with saga patterns

- Hands-on experience architecting solutions on Azure or AWS, including serverless functions, messaging queues, managed databases, and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Bicep)

- Solid experience with CRM integration design, particularly with Salesforce, and other external systems requiring structured API-based data exchange and synchronization

- Demonstrated ability to lead architectural initiatives that drive improvements in scalability, performance, reliability, and developer experience

- Strong understanding of CI/CD, observability, DevSecOps, and secrets management best practices

- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills; able to clearly explain complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences

- Experience working in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, government, insurance, banking, etc

- Experience applying FHIR, HL7, or X12 standards within healthcare systems





- Familiarity with cross-cloud or hybrid-cloud architectural design patterns

- Thrive in ambiguity, comfortable zooming out to evaluate systems holistically while staying hands-on enough to dive into code and unblock teams

- Communicate complex architectural trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

- Coach and elevate other engineers through code review and design discussions, not just their own output

- Balance architectural rigor with engineering velocity and product needs, rather than optimizing for either in isolation

- Take ownership at the system level, driving multi-team initiatives to completion rather than staying within a single service’s boundaries

and enabling organizational scale through thoughtful architecture, we’d love to hear from you

- Act as a senior architecture contributor and technical leader across key domains, collaborating with multiple pods to deliver cohesive and scalable solutions

- Lead modularization and platform decoupling efforts to reduce tech debt, improve maintainability, and empower team-level ownership

- Drive system design and architecture for secure, resilient, and performant services using up-to-date cloud-native technologies (Azure preferred)

- Collaborate with engineering, product, and compliance partners to ensure architectural alignment with business priorities, regulatory constraints, and product roadmaps

- Guide and mentor engineers, both formally and informally, on architecture best practices, technical growth, and system-level thinking

- Champion code quality, testability, and design standards, providing deep technical reviews and working examples that elevate engineering excellence

- Evaluate frameworks, tools, and integration strategies, including Salesforce and other CRM platforms, to support scale and interoperability

- Contribute to and evolve Lantern’s internal architecture guidelines, reference implementations, and technical documentation, with an emphasis on innovation, AI integration, and long-term maintainability

- Lead technical discovery and prototyping for complex integrations and data flow challenges, including those involving FHIR, HL7, and Kafka
