We are looking for a Principal Solutions Architect to join our Life Sciences & Healthcare (LS&H) team. This is an amazing opportunity to work on large-scale AI-enabled solutions that modernize and enhance our content delivery systems. You’ll be at the intersection of innovation, architecture, and real-world AI integration. The team consists of several domain and technical experts and reports to the VP of AI, Content. We would love to speak with you if you bring deep experience in cloud architecture, Python, and vector databases and especially if you have experience translating between business needs and implementation.
About You – Experience, Education, Skills, And Accomplishments
You’ll join our LS&H segment under Content technology. While there are existing architects, this role will be the first focused specifically on AI enablement. You’ll work closely with two primary internal stakeholders serving as the SME’s and end users of the tools you’ll help design, and also the implementation team that will bring the architecture to life.
This role serves as the technical interface between these groups, so strong communication and translation skills are critical. You’ll shape architecture strategy while remaining fluent in hands-on technologies. This position also offers high visibility, impact, and growth potential.
Hours of Work
The expected base salary for this position is $166,000 - $208,000 USD per year. This role is eligible for bonus incentive earnings. Individual pay is based upon experience, education, skill and ability, expertise, and relevant factors.
