Principal Cloud and Infrastructure Architect | Remote | Michigan or Minnesota Preferred
Role Snapshot:
- Architect the Platform: Design and guide the implementation of scalable, secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure solutions for healthcare clients.
- Drive Modernization: Lead the transition from legacy on-prem environments to cloud and hybrid models with clear outcomes.
- Ensure Technical Excellence: Serve as the primary technical authority, ensuring feasibility, performance, and alignment to client needs.
- Enable Growth: Support presales by shaping differentiated, technically sound infrastructure solutions.
The Principal Cloud and Infrastructure Architect is a senior technical leadership role responsible for selecting, designing, and guiding the deployment of enterprise-grade infrastructure platforms for healthcare organizations. This role serves as the primary technical authority for cloud, hybrid, and onpremises infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on cloudfirst architectures and transition from legacy onprem environments.
This role requires deep hands-on experience with enterprise infrastructure technologies commonly used to support Epic in large healthcare systems, including data center, storage, networking, virtualization, and security platforms. While cloud is the primary strategic focus, the ability to assess, design, and modernize onprem infrastructure is essential.
The Principal Cloud and Infrastructure Architect works in close partnership with a Principal Healthcare Strategist, who owns executive engagement and program direction, while this role owns technical depth, platform design, and implementation feasibility. This role also supports infrastructure and cloud presales by shaping technically sound, differentiated solutions for healthcare clients.
