USA / Canada (Remote + Travel) :: Enterprise Solution Architect Exp. with Insurance Domain (Policy, Claims, Billing) ; No C2C Only (G.C / U.S.C / Canadian Citizens / P.R)

Role Summary

We are looking for a seasoned Solution Architect to define and lead the integration of a specialized insurance platform into an established enterprise application landscape.

The role spans assessment of legacy systems, end-to-end architecture design, API and batch/event integration, and alignment across policy administration, claims, and billing functions.

The ideal candidate is hands-on across application, integration, cloud, and data layers, and can translate business needs into scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions.

Insurance domain expertise is a plus, not a prerequisite.

What You Will Do

• Assess the current-state application ecosystem, including architecture, interfaces, data stores, integration patterns, and operational constraints.
• Define target-state architecture and an integration roadmap to connect enterprise applications with the insurance platform.
• Select and design appropriate integration models (synchronous APIs, event-driven, messaging, batch/ETL) based on functional and non-functional requirements.
• Integrate platform capabilities (policy, claims, billing) into existing applications, identifying reuse opportunities and simplification paths.
• Produce architecture assets: reference architecture, interface contracts, sequence and data-flow diagrams, API specs, and deployment topologies.
• Collaborate with application, security, infrastructure, data, DevOps, and business teams to deliver cohesive, end-to-end solutions.
• Establish non-functional requirements and patterns for scalability, performance, resiliency, security, and observability.
• Guide development and integration teams through implementation, code/design reviews, and technical decision-making.
• Evaluate and recommend cloud services, integration frameworks, and tooling (API gateways, iPaaS/ESB, messaging/event platforms).
• Troubleshoot complex integration issues; manage risks, dependencies, and impacts to legacy systems.
• Ensure adherence to enterprise architecture standards, governance, and best practices.

Key Outcomes (first 6–12 months)

• Current- and target-state integration blueprints with a phased migration plan.
• API/interface catalog with versioning and governance approach.
• Reference implementations and reusable patterns for APIs, events, and batch jobs.
• NFR matrix (security, availability, performance) and validation strategy.
• Knowledge transfer and operational runbooks for support teams.

Required Qualifications

• 7–15 years in solution/software architecture or enterprise application integration with demonstrable delivery in complex environments.
• Deep knowledge of integration patterns and protocols (REST, event-driven, messaging, batch, A2A), API design (OpenAPI), and data exchange formats (JSON/XML).
• Hands-on experience analyzing and modernizing legacy stacks and interfaces.
• Exposure to microservices and containerized architectures; understanding of cloud services (AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform).
• Experience with data movement/ETL and interface/data modeling.
• Strong documentation skills (architecture views, sequence/data-flow diagrams) and stakeholder communication.
• Ability to operate autonomously in distributed/remote teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background with insurance platforms and processes (policy admin, claims, billing, underwriting) and related data models.
• Experience integrating third-party/industry insurance systems into enterprise environments.
• Familiarity with identity and security controls for integrations (OAuth2/OIDC, mTLS), and zero-trust principles.
• Knowledge of CI/CD, infrastructure as code, DevOps practices, monitoring, logging, and tracing.
• Experience with API management gateways, ESB/iPaaS, message brokers/event streams, and Python or similar for data integration.
• Practical understanding of resilience patterns (circuit breakers, retries, backoff) and performance engineering.

Core Competencies

• Systems thinking with the ability to balance delivery speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.
• Strong facilitation and stakeholder management across business and technology.
• Clear, concise communication and the ability to translate complex concepts for diverse audiences.
• Pragmatic problem-solving and risk management in evolving, legacy-heavy environments.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
