What You'll Do

Define and maintain the overall technical architecture across Liberty's product portfolio, including PharmacyOne, P1CM, Liberty Command, RXQOne, and RX365. Ensure consistency, scalability, and alignment with the product roadmap. Evaluate and recommend technology choices, frameworks, and design patterns that support Liberty's platform modernization efforts and long-term technical strategy. Establish and enforce architectural standards, coding guidelines, and best practices across development teams and pods to ensure quality, maintainability, and security. Lead the design of complex system integrations, including third-party data providers such as Medi-Span and FDA, payment processors like triPOS and Worldpay, and regulatory interfaces including PDMP, 340B, and HIPAA.

Collaborate closely with the Vice President of Product Development, Development Managers, and Team Leads to translate business requirements and product vision into sound technical designs and implementation plans. Conduct architecture reviews for major features and platform changes, identifying risks, dependencies, and trade-offs before development begins. Drive technical debt reduction by assessing the current codebase, prioritizing remediation efforts, and establishing a sustainable approach to modernization alongside feature delivery. Mentor and guide senior developers and team leads on architectural thinking, design principles, and system-level problem solving to elevate the overall technical maturity of the engineering organization. Develop and maintain architectural documentation, including system diagrams, API contracts, data flow models, and decision records, that serves as a reliable reference for development and onboarding. Evaluate build-vs-buy decisions and vendor technologies, providing leadership with clear technical assessments and recommendations. Support the transition to Liberty's quarterly release model by ensuring architectural decisions account for stabilization, deployment rings, and multi-customer rollout considerations. Participate in incident resolution and root cause analysis for production issues that involve architectural or systemic factors.
