Solution Architect - Clinical Surgical Video Platform

About the role

Newfire Global Partners is looking for a Solution Architect to own the technical architecture of a clinical surgical-video platform being modernized for a healthcare technology client. The project involves stabilizing a legacy on-premise system, designing its migration to a modern AWS (EKS/S3) foundation and leading the execution so a SaaS offering can be delivered. This is a hands-on, client-facing role where you set direction, write the design documents the team builds against, and defend them in front of a customer CTO.

Key responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end technical architecture while stabilizing the platform and moving it to the cloud.
• Harden the existing on-premise deployment, improving fault detection and observability for video-capture hardware and RTSP streaming feeds, and feed an OpenTelemetry-based observability stack (SigNoz).
• Lead the migration from on-premise NFS storage to a hosted AWS environment (EKS/S3), preserving the video processing and anonymization pipeline and defining a clear on-prem/cloud boundary.
• Produce the cloud architecture design, data-migration plan and the infrastructure-as-code foundation (Terraform, Kubernetes).
• Set architectural direction for the delivery team and document decisions so they do not need you for every detail.
• Work directly with the client's engineering leadership as the technical point of authority, surfacing risks and technical debt early and reshaping the plan collaboratively when needed.

Required profile

• Proven AWS solution architecture experience (EKS, S3, VPC, IAM, networking).
• Hands-on experience migrating production on-premise workloads to the cloud.
• Infrastructure as Code with Terraform, and production Kubernetes/container orchestration, Ansible, Swarm.
• Observability architecture: OpenTelemetry pipelines and metrics/traces/logs design (SigNoz, or equivalent such as Grafana/Prometheus/Tempo).
• Fluency across a Django / React / Go stack.
• Strong design-documentation discipline and client-facing presence, including holding technical direction with a customer CTO.
• As a senior team member, you will also take part in hiring by sitting on interview panels for future roles.
