Solutions Architect

*This role is mainly remote however there will be weeks you will need to be on-site so this individual must be local to the Boston, MA area*

As the RHTP Cloud Solutions Architect, you will be responsible for serving as a trusted technical advisor across the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), a large-scale state government initiative spanning seven concurrent initiative teams. In this highly consultative role, you will work alongside senior technical advisors Joel and Steve, functioning as part of an IT tiger team that evaluates how systems, applications, and technology decisions impact one another across a complex multi-agency ecosystem. You will attend business and technical meetings, gather requirements, identify cross-system dependencies, and translate business objectives into actionable architectural guidance. Rather than dictating solutions, you will influence through expertise, build trust across stakeholder groups, and help decompose complex initiatives into understandable components. You will produce architecture diagrams, documentation, and artifacts that support decision-making at all levels. This role sits at the intersection of enterprise architecture and government consulting, requiring someone who is deeply technical, highly collaborative, and fluent in both business and IT languages.

Minimum Qualifications

• 10 years of experience in enterprise or solutions architecture, with demonstrated success in complex, multi-system environments
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Microsoft technology stack, and Salesforce; strong understanding of cloud-native patterns, enterprise integrations, APIs, and messaging frameworks
• Strong systems-thinking mindset: naturally asks "if we change this, what else is impacted?" across large, interconnected ecosystems
• Proven ability to operate in both business and technical settings, translating goals across audiences without leading with jargon.
• Experience in state/local government, public sector, healthcare, Medicaid, or similarly regulated environments with complex governance and approval workflows.

• Active cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP, or Salesforce); experience with Medicaid enterprise systems or MMIS; prior advisory or tiger team roles; personal labs or side projects demonstrating genuine technical curiosity

Responsibilities

• Attend business and technical stakeholder meetings across all seven RHTP initiative teams; ask thoughtful questions, absorb complex information rapidly, and identify cross-system impacts, risks, and integration dependencies
• Serve as a business-to-technology translator: take learnings from business meetings back to technical teams and facilitate alignment on how to achieve go-live goals the right way
• Build and maintain architecture diagrams, documentation, and artifacts that capture the current state, dependencies, and recommended paths forward across the RHTP ecosystem
• Support senior advisors by evaluating options, identifying risks, and providing informed architectural recommendations that align with client standards and existing technology investments
• Influence without authority: build trust quickly with executive sponsors, agency leads, CTO office stakeholders, and technical owners, adapting your communication style to meet each audience where they are
• Stay current on modern technology trends (AI/LLMs, cloud-native services, enterprise integration patterns) and bring relevant insights to the team while understanding the constraints of operating within a government environment.
