Opportunity for impact Newfire Global Partners, a leader in developing disruptive healthcare technology, collaborates with Fortune 500 companies and start-ups to drive transformation. Newfire is seeking a Solution Architect What's the Project? We are looking for a Solution Architect to own the technical architecture of a clinical surgical-video platform we're modernizing for a healthcare technology client. You'll stabilize a legacy on-premise system, design its migration to a modern AWS (EKS/S3) foundation and lead the execution to enable SaaS offering. This is a hands-on-the-architecture, client-facing role for someone comfortable setting direction, writing the design docs a team builds against, and defending those decisions in front of a customer CTO Own the end-to-end technical architecture for the platform as we stabilize it and move it to the cloud. Harden the existing on-premise deployment – improve fault detection and observability for video-capture hardware and streaming (RTSP) feeds, feeding an OpenTelemetry-based observability stack (SigNoz). Design and lead the migration from on-premise NFS storage to a hosted AWS environment (EKS/S3), preserving the existing video processing and anonymization pipeline and defining a clean on-prem/cloud boundary. Produce the cloud architecture design and data-migration plan, and the infrastructure-as-code foundation (Terraform, Kubernetes) behind it. Set architectural direction the delivery team executes against, and document decisions well enough that they don't need you in every one. Work directly with the client's engineering leadership as the technical point of authority; surface risk and technical debt early and reshape the plan collaboratively when needed.
