12d • Remote

About The Position

Raintree builds AI-powered EMR and practice management software for physical, occupational, and speech therapy organizations, supporting some of the largest rehab practices in the country. Our Why: To help therapy professionals give better care and achieve superior outcomes for everyone. Where We Are Going: We are in the middle of a major platform transformation—modernizing a decades-old technology stack while building the AI-native systems that will define the next generation of our product. We are seeking a Data Architect to serve as a driving force behind our platform modernization. In this role, you will diagnose and resolve core data challenges across both legacy and modern technology stacks. Rather than day-to-day database administration, this position focuses on target-state architecture design, schema strategy, event-driven patterns, data governance, and scalable data lifecycle policies. This is a high-autonomy role where your technical expertise and evidence-based decision-making will directly influence enterprise software used by millions.

Requirements

• Proven experience as a Data Architect (typically 8+ years; higher for Staff/Principal levels) with deep expertise in target-state architectural design rather than operational database administration (DBA).
• Deep fluency in relational and NoSQL data modeling, schema design, and data governance.
• Strong background in event-driven and streaming architectures (e.g., event buses, message queues).
• Proven track record of untangling messy, legacy, or under-schematized environments and migrating them toward modern frameworks.
• Deep experience designing cloud-native data architectures (AWS strongly preferred).
• Experience defining data retention, lifecycle, backup, and disaster recovery (DR) strategies.
• Ability to articulate technical decisions clearly, defend proposals with evidence, adapt to new data, and operate effectively in ambiguous environments. Ability to communicate potentially complex proposals in a simple and succinct manner.

Nice To Haves

• Domain experience in Healthcare, EMR/EHR, Health-Tech, or HIPAA-regulated environments.
• Prior experience building or standing up a dedicated data/platform architecture function from scratch.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose fundamental root causes of complex data issues and execute a clear, defensible long-term plan.
• Design the future-state data architecture across legacy and modern platforms, including realistic migration, sequencing, and rollout strategies.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Enterprise Architecture leadership to align data architecture with broader product and platform goals.
• Establish data architecture standards, review practices, and comprehensive documentation to ensure institutional knowledge is preserved and standardized.
• Serve as a subject matter expert across broader enterprise architecture questions where data intersects with product strategy.

Benefits

• We aim to be the best place for the best people
• your career will have game-changing, career-defining moments that propel you to new heights
• your growth is limitless
• the work you do will touch millions of lives
