Lead Architect / Development Manager – Overview
Under general supervision, the Lead Architect/Development Manager serves as the technical integration leader for a large, high‑visibility government health program (Florida Unified Operations Center). This role owns and maintains the end‑to‑end systems integration architecture across a complex ecosystem of internal platforms and external vendors, balancing leadership of development teams (~50%) with direct client‑facing and stakeholder engagement responsibilities (~50%). Major Duties and Responsibilities
Own and maintain holistic systems integration architecture across multiple internal platforms and external vendors. Design, review, and validate system interactions including CRM platforms, custom enterprise applications, identity systems, data warehouses, and third‑party systems. Ensure data flow, security, performance, scalability, and reliability across all integrated systems. Identify architectural risks and integration gaps early. Define and govern data ownership, system‑of‑record decisions, and end‑to‑end data flows to ensure consistency, integrity, and reporting reliability. Ensure all integrations comply with applicable security, privacy, and regulatory requirements (e.g., HIPAA, CMS, state security standards) in partnership with security and compliance teams. Lead and participate in architecture and design sessions with internal teams, vendors, and client stakeholders. Review vendor designs and recommend pragmatic, delivery‑focused solutions. Document architecture decisions, patterns, and dependencies clearly. Act as final architectural decision authority for cross‑system integrations and vendor designs, resolving technical conflicts and enforcing architectural standards. Maintain authoritative architecture artifacts including integration diagrams, dependency maps, and architectural decision records. Provide leadership and technical direction to development teams. Oversee delivery workflows using Agile tools such as JIRA and DevOps platforms. Support continuous improvement of development practices. Own cross‑vendor release coordination, dependency management, and environment readiness to ensure integrated deployments are predictable and stable. Client & Stakeholder Engagement (≈50%)
Serve as the technical bridge between business, development, security, and vendor teams. Translate complex technical concepts into clear discussions. Participate in in‑person and virtual stakeholder meetings. Hold vendors accountable for integration quality, architectural alignment, and delivery commitments across shared systems.
