**Summary of Position**

At Teladoc Health Inc, a Staff Platform Architect is an enabler and communicator that interprets the needs of Product Management, documents those needs at a conceptual level, and partners with Product and Engineering to create appropriate solutions for the short, medium, and long-term evolution of complex systems in healthcare. A person in this role coordinates with Agile Release Train Engineers to enable critical-path analysis, and roadmap planning. Finally, it is the Architect’s job to document common standards, platforms and communicate both new solutions and emergent standards to all parties to ensure that the company “knows what it knows” and “learns what it needs to know next”.

Architects at Teladoc Health are not high-level engineers who dictate solutions to others. This group is high IQ and high EQ. We are looking for professionals who are humble, collaborative, and offer their opinions on new designs last and only after collaborating and capturing the best of what engineering offers. You should live/breathe/think in box-and-line diagrams, constantly take notes, strive for cohesion, be patient with your colleagues but intolerant of inconsistent or poorly communicated architectural depictions.

Finally, a Teladoc Health architect lives the mantra, “Buy what accelerates you. Build what differentiates you.” We expect a mature build vs. buy approach to design and POC coordination that embraces these tenants and optimizes our capital and operational engineering resources.
