The Opportunity

Our connected health platform securely integrates biosensor and partner data streams, applying advanced analytics to empower millions of users with real-time, personalized health insights. The Solutions Architect role is critical in ensuring our systems are secure, resilient, and scalable, turning product vision into technical reality.

As Solutions Architect, you will define and guide the end-to-end architecture for ingestion, storage, analytics, and secure distribution of biosensor data. You’ll serve as the **bridge between product requirements and technical implementation** , ensuring alignment across backend, data, and cloud domains. This role requires strong technical depth, a 360° platform view, and the ability to communicate solutions to both engineers and business stakeholders.

What You’ll Work On

+ Define and maintain Lingo’s reference architecture for high-volume, event-driven microservices.

+ Model backend domains (ingestion, analytics, partner APIs, user management) in alignment with domain-driven design (DDD).

+ Collaborate with DBAs on database scaling strategies (sharding, partitioning, replication).

+ Design and enforce secure API frameworks leveraging OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, and mTLS.

+ Work closely with engineering teams to ensure API versioning, SLAs, and partner-facing requirements are consistently met.

+ Conduct architectural reviews, identifying scalability and security risks before they become blockers.

+ Translate business and partner requirements into **scalable technical blueprints** , balancing compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, ISO) and user experience.

+ Research and pilot emerging backend and cloud technologies for potential inclusion in the stack.

Required Qualifications

+ 8+ years of solutions architecture experience in large-scale, distributed systems.

+ Strong expertise in microservices, event-driven architectures, and data modeling.

+ Hands-on knowledge of modern backend stacks (Java/Kotlin, Node.js, or Python).

+ Deep understanding of database scaling techniques and API design.

+ Strong background in API security and compliance best practices (OAuth2, OIDC, HIPAA, GDPR).

Preferred Qualifications

+ Experience designing for multi-tenant SaaS platforms.

+ Previous role as principal engineer or solutions architect in a scaled platform environment.

+ Familiarity with multiple cloud providers (Azure, AWS, GCP) and hybrid architectures.

+ Excellent communication skills to convey complex technical strategies to executives, product managers, and external partners.
