In this role you will spend a significant portion of your time as a working engineer - writing code, shipping features, and solving problems directly alongside the team - while also owning the technical direction of core product platforms: designing and reviewing solutions end-to-end, guarding the health and longevity of our technology stack, and acting as the technical bridge between engineering, QA, DevOps, and the business. You will also lead our adoption of AI-assisted development and AI-powered product capabilities, helping the organization move fast without compromising reliability, security, or maintainability.\nThis is a senior individual-contributor role with strong architectural authority - you won't manage people, but you will set technical direction, review designs, and be accountable for the platform's technical roadmap, all while remaining an active contributor in the codebase.\nRole Evolution: This role is intentionally weighted toward hands-on engineering delivery early on, with architectural responsibilities growing over time. As you establish credibility, build platform knowledge, and demonstrate architectural judgment, the balance is expected to shift - increasing time on design, roadmap, and cross-team architecture leadership, and decreasing time on direct feature delivery. The exact balance will be discussed and adjusted with your manager as you grow in the role.\nWhat You'll DoHands-on Engineering & Delivery\nActively design, build, and ship production code as part of the engineering team - this is not a design-only or review-only role.\nTake ownership of complex features or technical initiatives end-to-end, from design through implementation, testing, and deployment.\nLead by example on code quality, testing discipline, and engineering best practices through your own delivery work.\nStay close enough to the codebase to make architecture decisions that are grounded in real implementation constraints, not just theory.\nBalance delivery work with architectural responsibilities, with the expectation that this balance shifts toward architecture as you grow in the role (see Role Evolution above).\nArchitecture & Design\nOwn end-to-end solution architecture for web/cloud applications, including system design, integration patterns, data flow, and non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability, availability).\nReview technical designs and pull requests from a design-integrity standpoint; provide constructive, actionable feedback to engineering teams.\nProduce and maintain architecture diagrams, decision records (ADRs), and technical documentation that keep the system understandable as it grows.\nDefine and enforce coding, integration, and API standards across services.\nTechnology Stack & Lifecycle Management\nMaintain a living inventory of the platform's tech stack (languages, frameworks, libraries, databases, middleware, cloud services) and their support/EOL timelines.\nProactively plan and lead upgrades for components approaching end-of-support or end-of-life, minimizing disruption and technical debt.\nEvaluate new tools, frameworks, and platform services; make build-vs-buy and adopt-vs-avoid recommendations backed by clear trade-off analysis.\nDefine and drive a rolling technical roadmap (6-18 months) covering modernization, deprecation, and risk reduction.\nCloud & Infrastructure\nArchitect and guide the use of AWS services (compute, storage, networking, managed databases, messaging/queueing, identity/IAM) with a focus on cost efficiency, security, and resilience.\nOwn CI/CD design and standards using GitHub Actions, partnering with DevOps on pipeline structure, environment promotion, secrets management, and deployment automation.\nPartner with DevOps on infrastructure-as-code practices, observability (CloudWatch, Datadog, or equivalent), and environment strategy.\nEnsure architecture decisions account for compliance and data-security requirements relevant to the industry (e.g., healthcare data handling, access controls, audit trails) within the AWS environment.\nPerformance & Optimization\nIdentify performance bottlenecks (application, database, network) and drive remediation plans - including direct implementation of fixes where appropriate.\nEstablish and monitor architectural quality metrics (latency, error rates, scalability limits, technical debt indicators).\nChampion refactoring and modernization efforts that reduce complexity and operating cost over time.\nCross-Team Collaboration\nAct as the technical liaison between engineering, QA, DevOps, product/business stakeholders, and leadership - translating business requirements into technical solutions and vice versa.\nFacilitate design and architecture review sessions; align stakeholders on trade-offs, timelines, and risk.\nSupport QA in defining testability and non-functional test strategy for new architecture (performance, security, resilience testing).\nMentor engineers on architectural thinking, design patterns, and best practices - reinforced through pairing and shared delivery work.\nAI Adoption & Innovation\nLead the evaluation and rollout of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., AI coding assistants, automated code review/testing tools) across engineering teams.\nIdentify and prioritize opportunities to embed AI/ML capabilities into the product where they add genuine user or business value.\nDefine guardrails for responsible AI use - data privacy, model reliability, human oversight - in collaboration with security/compliance stakeholders.\nStay current on the AI tooling landscape and bring pragmatic, ROI-driven recommendations rather than hype-driven adoption.\nWhat We're Looking ForRequired\n5-10 years of experience in software engineering, with recent, active hands-on coding experience - this role requires you to remain a practicing engineer, not just an architect who reviews from a distance.\nAt least 2-3 years operating in a Solution Architect, Technical Lead, or equivalent architectural capacity, ideally in a role that combined delivery and design responsibilities.\nProven experience designing and delivering production-grade applications on AWS - hands-on with core services such as EC2/ECS/Lambda (compute), S3 (storage), RDS/Aurora (relational data), IAM (identity/access), VPC/networking, and CloudWatch (observability). [Confirm exact AWS services in use once stack details are available.]\nStrong grasp of modern application architecture patterns: microservices/modular monoliths, event-driven design, REST/GraphQL APIs, caching strategies, and database design (relational and/or NoSQL).\nTrack record of planning and executing technology upgrades or migrations (framework version upgrades, EOL software replacement, AWS service migrations) with minimal business disruption.\nHands-on experience with GitHub Actions for CI/CD - building and maintaining build, test, and deployment workflows, managing secrets/environments, and integrating automated quality gates.\nExperience working directly with DevOps on infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform or AWS CloudFormation/CDK) and monitoring/observability tooling (e.g., Datadog).\nComfortable both writing and reviewing code across multiple languages/frameworks.\nStrong communication skills; able to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and align cross-functional teams.\nPractical experience integrating or piloting AI-assisted development tools or AI-driven features in a production environment.\nNice to Have\nExperience in healthcare, life sciences, or another regulated industry (HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, or similar compliance frameworks).\nFamiliarity with security architecture principles (identity/access management, encryption, secure API design).\nExperience with performance/load testing tools and capacity planning.\nCertifications in cloud architecture (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect Expert).\nPrior experience mentoring engineers or leading a Center of Excellence / architecture guild.\nSuccess Looks LikeConsistent delivery of shipped features/technical initiatives alongside architectural output - this role is measured on both.\nA documented, current technology roadmap with clear ownership of upgrade and deprecation timelines.\nDesign review process that consistently catches architectural risk before it reaches production.\nMeasurable improvements in system performance, scalability, observability etc.\nAt least one AI-adoption initiative (tooling or product feature) piloted and scaled based on demonstrated value.\nStrong working relationships across dev, QA, DevOps, and business stakeholders, reflected in smoother cross-team delivery.\nOver time, a visible shift from primarily hands-on delivery toward architecture and technical leadership, tracked as part of career growth conversations.\nFortive Corporation Overview\nFortive's essential technology makes the world safer and more productive.
