Abbott's Heart Failure Division needs to define and drive the technology strategy and architectural standards for scalable, secure, high-performing, and regulatory-compliant software systems supporting next-generation medical device platforms and digital health solutions.
Requirements
- Advanced to expert-level knowledge of software architecture, systems design, application integration, and platform scalability.
- Deep understanding of cloud architecture principles, including PaaS, SaaS, multi-tenancy, and multi-tiered infrastructure, with hands-on experience in Azure, AWS, or GCP.
- Hands-on experience with modern architectural patterns, such as microservices, event-driven systems, serverless computing, and scalable integration strategies.
- Deep expertise in web technologies, API design, databases, streaming platforms, and CI/CD pipelines and test automation.
- Proven experience building high-performance, distributed systems that solve large-scale engineering challenges with strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- Hands-on experience with Cloud-native technologies and modern development stacks, such as Spring Boot/Java (Backend), Ruby on Rails/Ruby (Backend), Angular/TypeScript (Web), Flutter/Dart (Mobile), and Kubernetes/Docker (Deployment).
Responsibilities
- Own and architect the end-to-end software architecture for IoT platforms—leveraging Cloud-native technologies across Backend Services, Databases, Web and Mobile Applications, and Medical Connected Devices—to ensure seamless interoperability, scalability, availability, security, maintainability, and regulatory compliance.
- Lead enterprise software architecture for key initiatives by assessing current-state systems, defining future-state vision, identifying architectural gaps and areas of technical debt, and establishing principles and implementation models to bridge those gaps—particularly within clinical and regulated environments.
- Apply structured architectural frameworks (e.g., the 4+1 View Model) to develop comprehensive system artifacts—including logical, process, development, deployment, and use case views—to support technical alignment and cross-team communication.
- Lead Architecture Review Boards, technical design sessions, and cross-functional reviews to ensure architectural integrity, alignment with business goals, and adherence to best practices.
- Collaborate closely with product management, clinical teams, regulatory, quality, compliance, security, and engineering leaders to ensure system architecture supports business needs, clinical workflows, and industry standards.
- Guide engineering teams in modern software engineering practices—such as microservices, event-driven architecture, serverless computing, API design, Cloud-native development, DevOps, Kubernetes, CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and operational excellence.
- Continuously evaluate and integrate emerging technologies (e.g., Generative AI, Agentic AI, etc.) to enhance engineering productivity, optimize system performance, and future-proof the technology stack.
Other
- 10+ years of progressive experience in software development and architecture across the full technology stack.
- 2+ years of experience in people management, technical leadership, or mentoring senior engineers and architects.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex systems and make data-driven decisions.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong interpersonal and collaboration skills, including emotional intelligence, conflict resolution, and the ability to thrive in a shared leadership environment.
