Solutions Architect – Contract to Hire

Role Overview

• The Solutions Architect plays a critical role in designing secure, scalable, cloud-native solutions for Lirio’s platform across both our Lirio-hosted SaaS environment and our customer-hosted deployment model.
• This Solutions Architect role is primarily focused on Microsoft ecosystem integrations, including Azure, Power Platform, Dynamics 365 and Dataverse, and Copilot-enabled experiences.
• Partnering with Product, Engineering, Cloud, Data, AI, and Behavioral Science teams to translate product and client requirements into actionable system, integration, and data designs aligned with Lirio’s architecture standards.
• Defining clear integration boundaries between Lirio and customer ecosystems, including system-of-record decisions, data ownership, and stable integration contracts that meet latency, scale, reliability, and compliance requirements.
• Designing the agentic layer of the Lirio solution, including AI-centered workflows, services, and interoperability.
• Contributing to Lirio’s Architecture Team, shaping work before it enters delivery, producing design artifacts, and building prototypes or reference integrations to validate patterns and reduce customer-by-customer variability.

Requirements

• 10+ years of related experience
• Experience designing distributed, cloud-native systems in SaaS or large-scale enterprise environments.
• Experience designing agentic products and workflows where the product is a component in a larger Agent ecosystem.
• Experience working closely with cross-functional technical and product teams.
• Healthcare or other regulated industry experience preferred.
• Expert knowledge of software architecture and the Azure ecosystem.
• Dynamics 365 (including Customer Insights – Journeys) and Dataverse.
• Dataverse integration architecture (data model familiarity, Web API integration patterns, incremental synchronization approaches, and reliability-at-scale practices such as batching/retries/caching/idempotency).
• Power Platform delivery and governance (solutions, environment strategy, lifecycle/deployment practices, and enterprise guardrails including DLP).
• Copilot and agent integration patterns (designing secure actions/connectors/tools that invoke external services and return structured outputs).
• Microsoft Entra ID security patterns (app registrations, least-privilege design, cross-tenant access where required, and secure service-to-service identity patterns).
• Key management / secrets patterns (Key Vault / managed identity).
• Azure integration services for event
• and API-driven designs (Service Bus, Event Grid/Event Hubs, Functions/Logic Apps, API Management).
• Azure data and analytics architecture (Fabric/OneLake, ADLS Gen2, Synapse-style approaches, Data Factory-style orchestration, event-driven ingestion).
• Experience with enterprise Azure data stores including SQL Server/Azure SQL and Cosmos DB.
• Working knowledge of Databricks and/or Snowflake integration in Azure-centric environments.
• Azure AI and modern LLM application patterns (Azure OpenAI, retrieval/search augmentation with Azure AI Search, evaluation/guardrails concepts).
• Proficiency with Kubernetes, containers, and cloud networking (VNet/VPC, private endpoints, hybrid connectivity).
• Experience with event-driven architecture and messaging systems such as Kafka.
• Proficiency in Java, Python, and/or .NET.
• Experience designing secure multi-tenant and/or customer-hosted deployments.
• Experience with observability patterns across Azure and Kubernetes (e.g., Azure Monitor/Application Insights/Log Analytics or equivalent).
• Experience with AI-assisted developer tools and workflows.
