Responsibilities
Collaborate with the Director of Architecture, engineering leaders, and product partners to define and maintain the target architecture and technical roadmap for TimelyCare’s platform
Design end-to-end solutions across our ecosystem (web, mobile, services, data, and integrations) that are secure, scalable, observable, and resilient
Work closely with engineering teams to break down complex business problems into well-architected services, APIs, and data models with clear domain boundaries
Define and promote architectural standards, patterns, and best practices (e.g., API-first development, event-driven systems, microservices, and domain-driven design)
Champion developer experience by improving local development workflows, build tooling, and CI/CD pipelines
Help standardize testing strategies, observability practices, and documentation across teams
Reduce friction and cognitive load for engineers through thoughtful platform, library, and framework decisions
Build reference implementations and starter templates using our core technologies (TypeScript, Node.js , React/React Native/ Next.js , AWS)
Partner with product and engineering to identify high-value use cases for AI-powered and agentic experiences in both customer-facing features and internal tools
Design and implement autonomous agents that can orchestrate workflows, call tools/APIs, and safely take actions within our platform
Architect and evolve MCP layers that provide consistent, secure, and observable access to internal systems, tools, and data for AI models and agents
Define AI-first patterns for retrieval, tool orchestration, prompt/interaction design, and safety/guardrails, and package them into reusable building blocks for teams
Build prototypes and reference implementations that demonstrate AI-native capabilities, then guide teams in hardening and scaling those solutions
Partner with Security, Compliance, and Data teams to ensure AI and agentic systems are safe, auditable, and aligned with healthcare and privacy requirements
Participate in planning and refinement to ensure architectural runway and technical constraints are understood and accounted for early
Provide hands-on guidance and mentorship to engineers on system design, performance, scalability, and modern engineering practices
Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, enabling informed tradeoff decisions
Performs additional tasks and projects as needed to support the evolving needs of team objectives and company goals

Solid understanding of observability practices and tools (logging, metrics, tracing) to ensure system reliability and debuggability
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and align multiple teams without direct authority
A pragmatic mindset: you know when to design for the long term and when to ship an incremental improvement

Practical experience with LLMs and AI-driven systems (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation, agents, tool-calling, or workflow orchestration)
Familiarity with MCP or similar tool/adapter abstraction layers, and designing safe, reusable 'tools' for AI systems to call
Experience with agentic frameworks, orchestration platforms, or building custom agent architectures
Experience implementing safety, guardrails, data-privacy, and observability patterns for AI-enabled features
