Why This Role Matters

Are you passionate about turning architectural vision into engineering reality? We're looking for an Application Architect to be the vital link between our Solution Architects and Engineering teams. In this fast-paced, product-driven environment, you'll shape the technical direction of our applications, mentor developers, and ensure our solutions are scalable, secure, and future-ready.

This is more than a technical role—it's a chance to lead, influence, and innovate at the heart of our product development lifecycle.

Job Purpose

The primary goal of this role is to conceptualize and guide the creation of advanced, cloud-native platforms that harness artificial intelligence to revolutionize medical imaging within clinical research. The Application Architect will ensure that solutions are designed to meet the evolving needs of clinical trials, balancing innovation, scalability, security, and regulatory compliance. This role acts as a bridge between architectural vision and the hands-on engineering work that brings these solutions to life.

Key Responsibilities

As an Application Architect for our AI-powered Medical Imaging SaaS Platform, you will work collaboratively with Solution Architects, developers, and clinical domain specialists to transform architectural plans into robust, production-ready systems. You will design and validate cloud-based platform components with an emphasis on high performance, scalability, and secure medical imaging workflows. A central aspect of your role will be the integration of advanced AI and machine learning models, ensuring that all solutions meet regulatory requirements and can interface seamlessly with clinical systems. You will also mentor engineering teams on best practices in cloud architecture, data security, and medical imaging standards, while continuously evaluating new technologies and recommending improvements to enhance the platform's architecture and capabilities.
