Shape One of Australia's Largest Healthcare Transformations-Join the team delivering Bringing Care Home, St Vincent's bold vision to care for 50% of patients and residents through virtual and in-home settings by 2030. This is an opportunity to influence how healthcare is delivered across Australia for generations to come.
Lead at the Intersection of Cloud, AI and Digital Health-Design and architect a next-generation ecosystem spanning patient and clinician applications, remote patient monitoring, AI-enabled services, cloud-native platforms, and enterprise healthcare integrations.
Build Something New, Not Maintain the Past-This is not a BAU architecture role. You will help establish the technical foundations, standards, and future-state architecture for a nationally significant transformation program from the ground up.
About Bringing Care Home
For more than 160 years, St Vincent's has delivered care where it is needed most.
Today, we're doing it again.
Bringing Care Home is our enterprise-wide transformation to deliver more connected, personalised and accessible healthcare through virtual care, remote patient monitoring, digital health technologies and innovative models of care.
This is more than a technology transformation — it's a transformation of healthcare itself.
The Opportunity- Lead Solutions Architect - Bringing Care Home Transformation
This is a permanent full-time position with flexible hybrid working arrangements available across Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.
Reporting initially to the National Director, Architecture & Portfolio Management, and transitioning into the Bringing Care Home leadership structure as the program matures, you will serve as the technical authority responsible for shaping the architecture that underpins one of Australia's most significant healthcare transformation programs.
Working at the intersection of cloud, AI, digital health and virtual care, you will provide architecture leadership across a complex ecosystem of patient and clinician applications, remote patient monitoring platforms, enterprise integrations, healthcare data services and emerging technologies. Partnering closely with executives, clinicians, product teams, architects, engineers and delivery partners, you will ensure technology decisions are scalable, secure, future-focused and aligned to exceptional patient outcomes.
You will lead the design and technical direction of:
Patient and clinician-facing mobile applications
Cloud-native digital healthcare platforms
Remote patient monitoring solutions
Enterprise integration services
AI-enabled healthcare capabilities
Secure healthcare data ecosystems
Modern DevSecOps and delivery practices
Working across executives, clinicians, product teams, engineers, architects, and delivery partners, you will ensure technology decisions support exceptional patient outcomes while remaining scalable, secure, and aligned to enterprise standards.
How You'll Make an Impact
Success in this role will see you:
Establish the architecture foundations that enable scalable virtual and in-home healthcare services nationally
Deliver solution architectures across key digital, cloud, integration, data and AI initiatives
Create reusable design patterns, standards and governance frameworks that accelerate future delivery
Drive alignment across multiple delivery partners, platforms and technology workstreams
Champion modern engineering practices – cloud-native architecture, DevSecOps, automation, and AI-enabled solutions – applying them hands-on, not just as guiding principles
Provide trusted technical leadership to executives, clinicians and technology teams
Contribute to positioning St Vincent's as a leader in digitally enabled healthcare innovation
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership
Provide architecture leadership across a complex multi-partner environment, ensuring solutions are secure, scalable and fit for purpose.
Solution Architecture
Lead end-to-end architecture across applications, cloud, integration, data, AI and clinical technology domains.
Innovation & Modern Engineering
Champion and personally apply cloud-native architectures, automation, AI-enabled capabilities, and contemporary software delivery practices. This includes hands-on involvement in spikes, proof-of-concepts, and design validation – not solely governance and oversight.
Governance & Risk
Provide design assurance, architectural governance and proactive risk management across major initiatives.
Stakeholder Engagement
Translate complex technical concepts into meaningful business outcomes for executives, clinicians, vendors and delivery teams.
About You
You are an experienced Technical Architect with a strong engineering background – you have come up through platform engineering, software engineering, or cloud engineering, and you still get hands-on. You have a proven track record delivering complex digital transformation programs within enterprise environments, and you have been actively building and shipping cloud-native and AI-enabled solutions in the last two years – not just advising on them.
You will bring:
7+ years’ experience within large-scale technology environments, including at least 3 years in a Technical or Solution Architect role – and critically, hands-on technical implementation experience in cloud and AI within the last 2 years. Candidates who have moved fully away from hands-on delivery will not be the right fit for this role
Demonstrated, recent hands-on experience (within the last 2 years) designing and delivering enterprise-grade solutions across AWS and/or Azure cloud environments
Mandatory: Deep, hands-on expertise in cloud-native architecture – API-led integration, event-driven platforms, enterprise data architecture, containerised and serverless technologies, and modern DevSecOps and CI/CD practices. You have built and shipped these patterns, not just designed them on whiteboards
Experience designing customer, patient, clinician or employee-facing digital products, including mobile and web-based applications
Proven capability delivering architecture across multiple domains including applications, integration, cloud, data and security
Mandatory: Demonstrated hands-on experience designing and implementing AI-enabled applications using modern AI services (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, LLM APIs, conversational AI, agentic workflows) – you have built with these tools, not just recommended them
An engineering mindset: you are comfortable doing technical spikes, validating integration approaches hands-on, reviewing code and infrastructure, and working alongside engineers to unblock delivery – architecture for you is a doing discipline, not just a thinking one
Ability to provide technical leadership and influence stakeholders across business, clinical, product and technology teams within complex delivery environments
Highly Regarded
Experience within healthcare, digital health, telehealth, remote patient monitoring, FHIR/SMART on FHIR, IoT-enabled technologies, financial services, government, or other highly regulated industries will be highly regarded.
Professional certifications such as TOGAF, AWS Solutions Architect Professional or Azure Solutions Architect Expert are also desirable.
