systemic technical risks, architectural limitations, performance bottlenecks, and technical debt, and lead the work to address them.\nEstablish reusable architectural patterns, reference implementations, and engineering standards that help teams build consistently and effectively.\nDrive platform-wide improvements in developer experience, reliability, observability, security posture, and performance that measurably improve how engineering delivers value.\nProvide technical leadership across teams by facilitatingdesign and architecture reviews, guiding major engineering decisions, and unblocking teams through hands-on help.\nParticipate in production support and incident response, helping teams find root causes and turn operational lessons into better architecture, tooling, and practices.\nCollaborate with Security and Compliance to ensure systems protect sensitive healthcare information and meet regulatory and organizational requirements.\nMentor and coach engineers and tech leads through design discussions, code reviews, pairing, and day-to-day work, helping them strengthen their technical judgment and grow as owners of their domains.\nEvaluate emerging technologies, including AI-assisted engineering tools, and identifyopportunities to improve developer productivity, software quality, and engineering effectiveness.\nCommunicate engineering strategy, architectural decisions, risks, and tradeoffs clearlyto technical and non-technical audiences, from engineering teams to executives.\nMinimum Qualifications \nHigh school diploma or GED
