Software Architect, Enterprise Apps & Mobile

Department: Information Technology

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: US (Remote)

Reporting To: Senior Director Software Engineering

Description

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end architecture across web, mobile, services, and data — application structure, data model, integration patterns, security, and deployment topology on Azure.
• Own application security across the platform: access control and least-privilege authorization, secure development lifecycle, secrets and key management, encryption of data in transit and at rest, dependency and vulnerability management, and audit logging across web, mobile, and integrations.
• Lead the mobile strategy and delivery: cross-platform application architecture, offline-first data synchronization and conflict resolution, device and release management, and app distribution for a field workforce.
• Lead delivery of the active roadmap, including field inventory tracking, loaner and consignment management, audit and inventory-control tooling, notifications, and scheduling.
• Design and own integrations with enterprise systems (ERP, PLM, identity, reporting/BI) and with surgical planning and navigation platforms.
• Extend inventory visibility below the distributor/agency level so assets can be located, audited, and repositioned — directly reducing carrying cost and write-off exposure.
• Provide technical leadership to offshore engineering and contract resources: set standards, run design and code reviews, own the definition of done.
• Establish and enforce engineering discipline — branching strategy, CI/CD, automated testing, environment management, release process, and technical documentation.
• Retain and codify institutional knowledge in-house through architecture decision records, runbooks, and onboarding material, eliminating single-point-of-failure dependency on individual contributors.
• Partner directly with commercial, operations, quality, and executive stakeholders to translate business problems into a sequenced technical roadmap.
• Contribute to build-vs-buy evaluations with clear architectural and total-cost rationale.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field required. 

• 10+ years building and shipping production software; 3+ years in an architect or technical lead capacity.
• Demonstrated ownership of production mobile applications on iOS and Android — React Native or comparable cross-platform framework — through design, release, and post-launch operation.
• Demonstrated ownership of a business-critical enterprise application at meaningful scale, including hundreds of users and transactional workloads.
• Proven experience integrating with ERP and enterprise systems of record.
• Track record leading distributed and/or contract engineering teams to delivery commitments.
• Medical device, life sciences, or other regulated-industry software experience, including 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485, or IEC 62304 preferred.
• Domain exposure to orthopedics, surgical workflow, field inventory, consignment, or medical device distribution preferred.
• Prior experience stabilizing and scaling a platform inherited from contractors or a departed team preferred.

• Practical knowledge of offline-first mobile architecture, including local persistence, background sync, conflict resolution, and graceful degradation on poor connectivity.
• Knowledge of mobile device management, enterprise app distribution, and app store release processes. Preferred.
