You'll be responsible for product‑wide architectural consistency, non‑functional requirements, security and regulatory alignment and technical risk management. Working closely with Product, Clinical, QA/RA, Security, Platform Engineering and Application Architects, your priority will be to guide architectural decisions which balance delivery efficiency, long‑term sustainability and business value.Key ResponsibilitiesTechnical Requirements Definition & Management ​Own product-level translation of functional and non-functional requirements across domains ​Define and align NFRs (availability, scalability, resilience, security, privacy) for the product/portfolio ​Harmonize cross-domain requirements; resolve conflicts and drive consistent interpretation ​Coordinate constraints and dependencies with Platform, Data, Security, QA/RA, and Clinical stakeholders ​Run architecture refinement forums; align roadmap with technical runway and compliance needs ​Establish requirement management practices and traceability expectations across programs ​Arbitrate competing priorities across teams and stakeholders; manage systemic risks Standardize ADR taxonomy and governance processes across the product line Cloud‑Native SaaS Architecture Design ​​Define product-wide cloud topology and regional deployment strategy ​Coordinate cross-domain HA/DR, failover patterns, and capacity planning ​Approve major service choices, integration patterns, and data-plane/compute strategies ​Drive security-by-design and zero-trust posture across the product line ​Standardizemessaging, API contract, and integration approaches across domains ​Define portfolio SLIs/SLOs and operationalguardrails;review deviations ​Mentor application architects on distributed systems decisions and cloud trade-offs ​Plan evolution for scale, resilience, and cost efficiency across programs ​AI‑Driven Medical Imaging Platform Development ​Align AI services and capabilities across the product line to avoid duplication ​Define experimentation and rollout patterns (shadow, A/B, canary) with rollback strategies ​Coordinate validation plans with QA/RA and Clinical SMEs for regulated releases ​Establish AI governance checkpoints and product-level KPIs ​Plan capacity for accelerators (GPU) and cost controls for AI workloads ​Standardize AI architecture (registries, drift detection, retraining cadence) across programs ​Harmonize AI risk controls and documentation/evidence packages ​Guide adoption of emerging AI capabilities that fit clinical and regulatory needs ​Medical Image Viewer Integration & Workflow Design ​Unify viewer workflows and UX patterns across the product line ​Define extensibility model and governance for plugins and SDKs ​Resolve cross-domain integration issues (routing, session management, state consistency) ​Validate third-party viewer fit, vendor selection criteria, and compliance implications ​Plan scalability for concurrent reading sessions and global deployments ​Standardize reusable UI libraries and workflow service patterns across products ​Oversee portfolio performance SLAs for visualization and workflow latency ​Review security posture for viewer ecosystem and integrations ​Regulatory Compliance & Security Architecture ​Own product/portfolio compliance posture and validation approach ​Align with InfoSec on secure-by-design patterns and zero-trust controls ​Define segregation-of-duties, access models, and operational controls ​Plan DR/BCP scenarios and ensure periodic exercises across products ​Ensure vendor risk management and supplier controls across programs ​Oversee remediation plans from audits, pen tests, and security assessments ​Standardizevalidation documentation templates and complianc
