About Sequel 

Sequel Med Tech is an early-stage company developing the next generation of precision drug delivery devices. 

Job Overview 

Sequel Med Tech is seeking a technical architect to spearhead the design, development, and implementation of technical infrastructure for our customer- and employer-facing programs. As the second member of our small but growing team of architects, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare delivery by overseeing the integration of various systems and technologies critical to the success of our digital products, beginning with our employer program and our customer and caregiver portals. The successful candidate will be a digital health utility player, not an ivory-tower architect.  You will partner with the Principal Architect and the Technology and Operations leadership team to define a vision and roadmap and then work (virtually) side-by-side with the product teams to execute that strategy in an agile, iterative manner. If you value shared ownership and accountability, individual and team empowerment, and a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement, then this is the job for you.  

Job Responsibilities and Essential Duties 

  • Partner with Product Management and with subject matter experts in Quality, Regulatory, Legal, Marketing, Sales, Clinical, Cybersecurity, and more to understand their needs.  
  • Partner with Principal Architect in the design, development, and implementation of the overall IT architecture, ensuring alignment with business goals and compliance with healthcare regulations (HIPAA, HITRUST etc.).  
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation for the IT architecture and ensure adherence to best practices.  
  • Stay up-to-date on emerging technologies relevant to the healthcare industry and evaluate their potential for integration.
  • Manage and mitigate IT risks, ensuring data security, system availability, and disaster recovery protocols.  
  • Work (virtually) side-by-side with product teams to translate the company and product vision into a roadmap that delivers value to our customers and partners.  

Minimum Requirements 

  • 7+ years of experience in a technical IT or Software Development role, including 
    • 2+ years in an architect role or equivalent experience in architecture design and implementation. 
    • 2+ years in healthcare or another regulated industry. 
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, MIS, or a related field, or equivalent career

Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities 

  • Fluency in agile development practices with a demonstrated ability to walk-the-walk honing practices through continuous improvement over fixed practices and procedures.  
  • Willingness to challenge assumptions over sticking to the status quo.  
  • Demonstrated ability to model the core tenets of agile within a regulated industry, including:  
    • Responding to change over following a long-term project plan, while still being able to navigate corporate funding and reporting models and the need to coordinate with other teams.  
    • Valuing working software over comprehensive documentation, while still being able to work with Quality, Legal, and other functions to ensure the appropriate documentation is available.  
    • Prioritizing individual interactions over processes and tools, while maintaining compliance with Quality Management System requirements.  
    • Focusing on customer collaboration over contract negotiation, while providing Legal and Finance partners the appropriate compliance artifacts.  
  • Understanding of the principles of DevSecOps and the need for Security and Quality by design over downstream remediation.  
  • Experience collaborating with functional (Quality, Legal, Marketing, etc.) partners over navigating functional gatekeepers.  
  • Bias towards active collaboration over working in silos and throwing over the wall.  
  • Comfort working in and fostering a balanced team culture that values expert decision makers with cross-functional input over decision by fiat or design by committee.  
  • Strong understanding of IT security best practices, compliance regulations (HIPAA, HITRUST etc.), and data privacy.  
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively translate technical concepts to non-technical audiences.  
  • Ability and willingness to be hands-on-keyboard with engineering teams to help accelerate implementation.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
