Solution Architect I

Inspired by faith. Driven by innovation. Powered by humankindness. CommonSpirit Health is building a healthier future for all through its integrated health services. As one of the nation's largest nonprofit Catholic healthcare organizations, CommonSpirit Health delivers more than 20 million patient encounters annually through more than 2,300 clinics, care sites and 158 hospital-based locations, in addition to its home-based services and virtual care offerings.

As our Solution Architect, you will provide vital technology leadership for developing, integrating, and supporting our organization's Technology Services, specifically for a designated neurological institute. Every day, you will be responsible for specific application, database, network, infrastructure, and/or engineering portfolios/platforms, and will support high-performance computing architecture.

This involves driving successful solution adoption from technology planning, investment decisions, implementation, to ongoing operational support for medium complexity portfolios. You will actively identify and accelerate the elimination of non-strategic technology platforms, optimizing our landscape. To be successful in this role, you will possess a strong combination of business, technical, and leadership skills, with extensive experience in solution architecture and technology strategy.

You will demonstrate exceptional problem-solving abilities, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of application, infrastructure, and network technologies.

This critical position demands a blend of hands-on Linux administration expertiseincluding advanced scripting, automation, and troubleshootingwithin a high-performance computing (HPC) environment that powers large-scale scientific and health data research. As a Solutions Architect I, you will support and optimize the core infrastructure enabling parallel computation across our Slurm-managed CPU clusters, Warewulf-provisioned compute nodes, VMware vSphere virtualized systems, and NVIDIA GPU resources.

This includes maintaining and tuning PowerStore pNFS storage, PowerScale archival systems, and Mellanox/NVIDIA high-speed networking to ensure consistent throughput and reliability. You will also develop and maintain Ansible-based automation pipelines, manage software deployment through Spack, and oversee Open On-Demand for interactive HPC workloadsdirectly empowering researchers to accelerate discovery in health sciences through data-driven computation.

The Solution Architect's role is to provide technology leadership for developing, integrating, and supporting Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) and Common Spirit Health's (CSH) Technology Services. This role will be responsible for specific application, database, network, infrastructure and/or engineering portfolios/platforms, and to support high-performance computing architecture, in partnership with BNI and CSH's business capability owners, external vendors and managed services partners.

The Solution Architect I will:

• Drive successful solution adoption from technology planning, investment decisions, implementation to ongoing operational support for one or several medium complexity portfolios
• Identify and accelerate the elimination of applications and infrastructure which are not Invest platforms
• Be responsible for improving the availability, security, compliance, interoperability, performance, and technology cost of assigned portfolios/platforms Qualified candidates must possess a combination of business, technical and leadership skills.

They must be change advocates and innovators, quick learners, results-oriented, and creators of compelling technology roadmaps. LSAs must seek out and synthesize IT and healthcare trends into multi-year technology investment plans. Mentoring and influencing others is critical to success.
