Job Description
Sutherland is hiring a Solutions Architect contractor to support an expanding healthcare initiative. In this position, the professional will bridge the gap between business needs and technological execution, mapping operational objectives into secure, scalable, and budget-conscious designs.
The employer builds digital solutions for global brands by combining human insight with artificial intelligence, cloud engineering, and automation. Operating across a diverse technology landscape, this cross-functional position works heavily with infrastructure, cloud services, data flows, business applications, and integration frameworks. Security functions as a foundational design component rather than a standalone task, though the role reports directly to the Head Information Security Architect.
Ideal candidates will excel at managing technical dependencies, creating clear implementation roadmaps, and connecting stakeholders with engineering squads. This opportunity is fully remote and welcomes applicants based in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with business stakeholders to determine desired outcomes, goals, and operational challenges
- Translate business objectives into functional, non-functional, and technical requirements alongside actionable solution blueprints
- Design comprehensive architecture spanning cloud services, enterprise platforms, integrations, data flows, and infrastructure
- Analyze and evaluate products, services, platforms, and vendors against technical and business criteria
- Provide ongoing architectural guidance to engineering, infrastructure, and application development teams through delivery
- Partner with Information Security Architecture and other specialists to incorporate compliance, privacy, and safeguards early in the design phase
Requirements
- Experience in software engineering, solution architecture, systems integration, infrastructure, cloud engineering, or a related IAM discipline
- Solid understanding of APIs, application architecture, integration patterns, networking, databases, and cloud services
- Demonstrated ability to design technology solutions across multiple technical domains
- Capacity to interpret ambiguous business requirements into practical technical designs
- Proficiency in producing architecture diagrams, technical documentation, and decision records
- Effective communication skills for explaining complex technical topics to nontechnical audiences
Qualifications
- Familiarity with SaaS platforms, enterprise applications, and hybrid technology setups
- Background in platform consolidation, technology modernization, or intricate integration tasks
- Knowledge of data protection, identity and access management, and secure design principles
- Experience assessing vendors, conducting proofs of concept, and calculating total cost of ownership
- Familiarity with automated delivery pipelines, infrastructure as code, and DevOps workflows
- Relevant certifications in cloud, solution, or enterprise architecture
