The Solution Architect joins the Employee Benefits team to drive the transformation of the technology ecosystem by modernizing legacy platforms and accelerating cloud adoption. This role involves defining target-state architectures, creating an AI-ready and agent-enabled environment, and translating business strategies into end-to-end designs. The architect will develop solutions involving APIs, microservices, micro-frontends, Single Page Applications, and data infrastructure while producing option analyses that balance security, reliability, and cost. Key technical competencies include experience with AWS/GCP cloud-native solutions, RESTful API integration, and container orchestration. The role specifically requires expertise in GenAI/ML applications, including RAG, semantic search, and LLMs, alongside digital identity and zero-trust patterns using OIDC/OAuth2. The architect will also manage architecture governance and partner with value streams to ensure designs meet non-functional requirements within the insurance industry's employee benefits domain.
