About The Position

Become a part of our caring community and help us put health first As Lead Solution Architect, you'll be the senior individual contributor on a team with broad accountability across CenterWell's dispensing pharmacy portfolio — mail order, specialty, retail, and associated platforms. You'll own the architectural vision for complex, multi-system initiatives, shape how technology decisions get made, and act as a connective force between business strategy, engineering execution, and enterprise standards. This is not a role for someone who wants to stay in their lane. You'll be expected to move fluidly between deep technical work and executive-level conversation, between greenfield design and legacy modernization, and between long-term roadmap thinking and hands-on problem solving. You'll lead solution design for major initiatives across the pharmacy business, translating complex operational requirements into coherent, scalable architectures. You'll work closely with engineering leads, product managers, clinical stakeholders, and vendor partners to ensure technical decisions are sound, defensible, and aligned to long-term goals. You'll represent the architecture function in governance forums and executive reviews. Specifically, you can expect to spend your time on: defining and maintaining architectural patterns and standards for the pharmacy technology portfolio; leading architecture for high-complexity programs spanning dispensing systems, clinical platforms, integrations, and data; evaluating build/buy/partner decisions and presenting recommendations to senior leadership; navigating ambiguity — organizational, technical, and political — and bringing clarity where others see noise; and contributing to the team's overall ways of working, tooling, and maturity. Use your skills to make an impact You are the person for this role if you have deep roots in software engineering — you've written code, you understand why architectural decisions carry the weight they do, and you can engage credibly with engineers at every level. Over time you've grown into someone who thinks in systems: how components interact, where complexity accumulates, and how to design for change rather than just for today. We don't screen on years of experience. We care about what you've actually built, untangled, and shipped — the complexity of the problems you've solved and the quality of the thinking you brought to them. You're comfortable in complex enterprise environments. You know how to read an organization, find the right stakeholders, and build the coalitions that actually move technical decisions forward. You don't wait for perfect information, but you know when a decision needs more rigor. Concretely, we're looking for demonstrated experience with: solution or enterprise architecture on large, matrixed programs; healthcare or highly regulated industries, with pharmacy, PBM, or clinical systems experience a meaningful advantage; integration patterns, cloud-native design, data architecture, and application modernization; communicating technical concepts to non-technical audiences and business strategy to engineers without losing either audience; and holding your own alongside consulting partners and senior business stakeholders. Familiarity with healthcare interoperability standards — HL7, FHIR, NCPDP, and related — is a plus, though not a prerequisite. What matters more is a track record of learning complex domains quickly and making sound architectural decisions within them.
