What Youâll Work On

As a Principal Software Architect, you will be focused on SaaS solutions, leveraging cloud-native technologies and components to provide scalable, high-availability solutions for Point of Care data management.

You will play a pivotal role in our product development lifecycle, driving architecture decisions that ensure the long-term success of our products, and mapping out high-level design visions that allow us to continually evolve and improve the products.  You will select technologies, methodologies, platforms, 3rd-party packages, and other key elements of the overall composition of the system.

You will be actively engaged with the scrum teams, ensuring that the software delivered by the teams is aligned with the functional and technical goals of the product overall.  These interactions will include attending stand-ups on a regular basis, participating in code reviews, collaborating and offering subject matter expertise for the teams when needed.  You will be responsible for seeing that the architecture and design objectives are applied effectively in lower-level designs and implementation.

You will also examine design and implementation work across multiple projects and features, looking for consistency and adherence to the high-level usability and architecture goals of the product.  Where appropriate, you will recommend adjustments and improvements to further the consistency and overall effectiveness of our software solutions.

The Principal Software Architecture role requires substantial software design experience with enterprise systems, excellent communication and facilitation skills with both technical and non-technical audiences, and an ability to distill complex problem domains into manageable and actionable elements.  It requires broad knowledge of a variety of programming languages and development environments, design patterns, methodologies, data architectures, cloud ecosystems, containerization, scalability, and secure lifecycle principles (e.g. secure by design).

  • Establish and refine technical and architectural roadmaps for our products; develop tactical plans to position our products for the current and future needs of the business

  • Design robust architectures for new SaaS solutions, and define evolutionary plans to migrate from existing on-premises, off-the-shelf solutions to a scalable SaaS model

  • Collaborate with other product teams across ARDx and Abbott to enable integrations between our solutions and other Abbott products

  • Work with Product Owners, Business Analysts, and other the other members of the Architecture team to ensure that the architecture and design specifications are effective in meeting user needs, and provide clear direction for implementation by the scrum teams

  • Evaluate strategies to leverage external design & development teams for more rapid and scalable software development

  • Engage with Development Teams periodically to ensure that new software implementations are aligned with the standards, guidelines, conventions, and the overall architectural vision of the product

  • Provide guidance as necessary to Software Developers for implementation and design questions, and to weigh in on key decisions

Required

  • Bachelor's Degree with 12 years of related experience; or

  • Masterâs Degree with 10 years of related experience

Preferred

  • Bachelorâs or advanced degree in computer science

  • 5+ years of experience with Agile software development methodologies

  • Experience with design and architecture of large-scale, enterprise software solutions, systems, and products

  • Demonstrated ability to guide others as a subject matter expert in software development

  • Experience and thorough understanding of the full software development lifecycle, with an appreciation for the interdependencies between the different stages

  • Experience documenting with UML

 

  • Familiarity/experience with a broad array of software development competencies, such as:

    • Cloud environments, cloud-native technologies, and infrastructures such as Azure/AWS/GCS, Kubernetes and containerization in general, PaaS, DBaaS

    • Microservice architectures, RESTful API services

    • Scalability, load balancing, performance tuning for composite solutions

    • Data storage architectures; relational, object, distributed, document-oriented, mobile databases; data warehouses

    • Programming languages and environments: C#, JavaScript, Angular, C++, WiX
