About Role:

We are seeking an experienced .NET Full Stack Architect with strong hands-on expertise in .NET, Angular, Microsoft Azure, SQL Server, and Web API, combined with solid Healthcare/Health Insurance domain knowledge.

The Architect will be responsible for defining and driving the end-to-end solution architecture, covering frontend, backend, APIs, data, cloud infrastructure, security, DevOps, integration, scalability, and modernization. The role requires the ability to evaluate architectural approaches such as modular monoliths, microservices, event-driven architecture, and serverless solutions and select appropriate patterns based on business and technical requirements.

The person should be comfortable moving between architecture discussions, code reviews, API and database design, Azure solutioning, production troubleshooting, and mentoring engineering teams. The candidate should provide technical leadership across the application lifecycle, produce HLD/LLD documentation, UML diagrams, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), establish engineering standards, mentor development teams, and work closely with business stakeholders and healthcare SMEs to deliver secure, scalable, highly available, and compliant healthcare solutions.

In this role, you will

• Define and drive end-to-end architecture for enterprise full-stack applications using .NET and Angular.
• Design scalable, secure, and maintainable solutions using .NET Core / ASP.NET Core, C#, Angular, REST APIs, and SQL Server.
• Establish application architecture, API standards, integration patterns, coding standards, and reusable frameworks.
• Architect and develop RESTful Web APIs and microservices, including authentication, authorization, exception handling, logging, and API versioning.
• Lead modernization of legacy ASP.NET / .NET Framework applications toward modern .NET and Azure-based architectures.
• Design responsive and modular front-end solutions using Angular, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Provide expertise in SQL Server, including database design, stored procedures, query optimization, indexing, and performance tuning.
• Architect cloud solutions using Azure App Service, Azure Functions, Azure SQL Database, Azure Storage, Key Vault, Application Insights, and API Management.
• Define CI/CD and deployment approaches using Azure DevOps and Git-based development practices.
• Drive non-functional architecture covering performance, scalability, availability, security, observability, and resiliency.
• Perform architecture and code reviews, troubleshoot complex production issues, and provide technical guidance to engineering teams.
• Partner with product owners, business stakeholders, engineering teams, and enterprise architects to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions.
• Support the complete application lifecycle, including design, development, deployment, production support, vulnerability remediation, upgrades, and application modernization.
• Mentor developers and provide technical leadership across distributed engineering teams.
