Contact Center Architect - R01571769

About The Position

We are seeking a hands-on, business-savvy Contact Center Architect to own the end-to-end design of our healthcare contact center on Amazon Connect, spanning member, provider, and self-service experiences. This is not a back-room engineering role. The person we are looking for is the connective tissue between the business and IT — a trusted advisor who can sit with operations, product, compliance, and member-experience leaders, understand what they are truly trying to achieve, and translate that into a resilient, secure, measurable technical architecture that the development teams can build with confidence. The ideal candidate is a genuine “jack of all trades”: equally comfortable whiteboarding a contact flow with a business sponsor, debating IAM and PHI handling with security, and pairing with developers on a Lambda integration. Above all, they earn trust quickly on both sides of the house — the business believes this person understands their world, and IT believes this person understands theirs.

Requirements

10+ years of overall IT experience, with a track record of delivering customer-facing solutions.
4–6+ years in AWS cloud / solution architecture.
3+ years hands-on with Amazon Connect in production environments.
Healthcare contact center experience is required — direct exposure to member, provider, and self-service journeys (payer, provider, PBM, or health-services setting).
Demonstrated experience improving authentication, self-service, and/or containment metrics in a contact center.
Amazon Connect ecosystem: Connect, Lex, Polly, Transcribe, Contact Lens.
AWS services: Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, Kinesis, Redshift, Athena.
IVR/IVA design, telephony, and CTI integration.
Caller authentication / identity verification patterns and secure PHI/PII handling.
CRM and enterprise integration (Salesforce, ServiceNow, and healthcare core systems).
Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation / Terraform), CloudWatch, and CI/CD.
Exceptional verbal and written communication — able to explain complex technical concepts simply to non-technical stakeholders, and to capture business needs precisely for technical teams.
Strong facilitation, stakeholder management, and consensus-building skills.
Credibility and presence to be trusted by both business leaders and engineering teams.
Analytical, problem-solving mindset with a bias toward measurable outcomes.
Leadership and mentoring capability for development teams.
