• Role : Solution Architect [UAT/Pre-Production and Data Replication platform]
• Remote (EST)
• Contract position

This is a short-term project ( 3 months with possible extension).

About the Role:

• We are seeking a highly experienced Solution Architect to lead the architecture and discovery for a strategic enterprise initiative to build a secure, repeatable UAT/Pre-Production and Data Replication platform for a leading healthcare technology organization.
• The engagement begins with a Discovery phase that will define the architecture, implementation roadmap, and delivery approach for a production-grade environment capable of:
• Building a production-like UAT/Pre-Production environment.
• Supporting secure cloning of environments across the enterprise.
• Implementing data de-identification aligned with enterprise privacy policies.
• Enabling repeatable, on-demand environment provisioning and refresh capabilities.
• The architect will work closely with Enterprise Architecture, Data Engineering, DevSecOps, Platform Engineering, Security, and Data Privacy teams to define a scalable, HIPAA-compliant solution that transitions seamlessly into implementation.

Key Responsibility:

• Lead the overall architecture for the UAT/Pre-Production platform, ensuring alignment across application, data, infrastructure, and security domains.
• Design scalable architectures for:
• Production-like UAT environments
• Enterprise environment cloning
• Data synchronization
• Environment refresh automation
• Operational repeatability
• HIPAA-compliant production data handling
• Define mechanisms to support:
• Full environment cloning
• Customer-specific cloning
• Multi-tenant data selection
• Source and target environment abstraction
• Incremental refresh
• Partial refresh
• Repeatable cloning workflows
• Design the architecture so cloning becomes an operational capability rather than a one-time migration exercise.

Required Qualification:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline.
• 10+ years of Solution Architecture experience.
• 5+ years designing enterprise Azure solutions.
• Strong expertise in:
• Azure Cosmos DB
• Azure SQL
• Distributed application architecture
• Event-driven systems
• Enterprise integration
• Experience designing large-scale data synchronization platforms.
• Experience with enterprise data migration or replication solutions.
• Experience architecting secure healthcare or regulated environments.
• Strong client-facing consulting and workshop facilitation skills.

Preferred:

• Experience with:
• Snowflake
• Azure Data Factory
• Azure Functions
• Kubernetes (AKS)
• Terraform
• Delphix
• Data masking and de-identification
• HIPAA compliance
• Healthcare platforms
• Multi-tenant SaaS architectures
• Event Sourcing / CQRS
• CI/CD platforms
• Infrastructure as Code

Success Measures:

• At the end of the Discovery engagement, the Solution Architect will have successfully:
• Defined the target architecture for the UAT/Pre-Production platform.
• Designed a reusable enterprise environment cloning capability supporting multiple source and target environments, full-environment and customer-specific cloning.
• Produced the architecture for Cosmos DB/Azure SQL hydration and synchronization with Snowflake.
• Defined the enterprise approach for database de-identification using Delphix in alignment with Data Privacy and HIPAA requirements.
• Designed a repeatable, on-demand environment provisioning and refresh process rather than a one-time implementation.
• Delivered architecture documentation, implementation roadmap, effort estimates, and technical recommendations that enable a seamless transition into implementation
