Software Architect, Portals
About Wellfit:
Wellfit is a healthcare fintech platform that connects patients, providers, employers, and payors to remove financial barriers to care. Our technology enables healthcare organizations to offer flexible payment and financing solutions that improve patient access while helping providers grow their practices.
As Wellfit continues to scale, we are investing in a modern platform architecture that supports innovation, speed, and intelligent automation across our systems.
About the Role:
Wellfit is seeking a Portals Architect to lead the architecture and evolution of the internal systems that power our operational backbone. This role sits within the Platform organization and will focus on the design, ownership, and modernization of Wellfit’s internal portals and foundational services used by operations, onboarding, customer support, and internal teams.
Unlike a traditional product architect, this role requires a systems-level mindset. The Portals Architect must understand how foundational services impact the entire product ecosystem while also driving improvements within individual services and portals.
The role involves modernizing brownfield systems, guiding the transition toward more modular architecture, and helping shape the future of a unified internal portal platform.
This position will manage a small team of engineers and work closely with platform leadership to ensure internal systems scale with the business.
Key Responsibilities:
Platform & Systems Architecture
• Architect and evolve the internal portal ecosystem that supports Wellfit’s operational workflows.
• Design scalable and maintainable solutions within a hybrid environment of legacy and modern systems.
• Help guide the evolution from brownfield systems toward a more modular, service-oriented architecture.
• Ensure foundational platform services are built in ways that support downstream product teams.
Internal Systems Ownership
• Own architecture for internal tools used by onboarding, customer service, operations, and other business teams.
• Maintain a macro view of the platform while diving deep into individual services and systems when required.
• Identify opportunities to consolidate and unify internal systems under a cohesive portal strategy.
Technical Leadership
• Lead and mentor a team of engineers responsible for portal and internal platform development.
• Establish strong engineering standards for architecture, system reliability, and maintainability.
• Partner with platform leadership to align engineering initiatives with company priorities.
Stakeholder Collaboration
• Work directly with internal business stakeholders to understand operational workflows and translate them into scalable technical solutions.
• Communicate complex architectural decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical teams.
• Serve as the technical bridge between engineering teams and internal business units.
AI-Augmented Development
• Participate in Wellfit’s BMAD (AI-Augmented Development) environment.
• Use AI-driven development tools and workflows to accelerate delivery and improve engineering productivity.
• Collaborate with teams experimenting with AI-powered system design, development workflows, and intelligent automation.
Qualifications:
Experience
• 8+ years of software engineering experience
• 3+ years in architecture or senior system design roles
• Experience designing and maintaining internal enterprise systems or operational platforms
• Proven ability to work across multiple interconnected services or systems
Technical Skills:
• Strong experience with C# and .NET ecosystems
• Experience designing APIs, service architectures, and distributed systems
• Familiarity with SQL and enterprise data architectures
• Experience working with hybrid environments containing both legacy and modern systems
Architectural Thinking
• Ability to operate at both system-wide architectural level and individual service depth
• Experience modernizing or refactoring existing systems
• Understanding of platform foundations that support multiple downstream products
Collaboration & Leadership
• Ability to lead engineers and guide architectural decisions
• Strong communication skills with technical and business stakeholders
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving environments with evolving priorities
Preferred Experience:
• Experience in fintech, healthcare technology, or regulated platforms
• Exposure to Azure cloud environments
• Experience with microservices and containerization
• Familiarity with AI-augmented development workflows
Why Join Wellfit
• Build foundational systems powering a rapidly growing healthcare fintech platform
• Help modernize and unify the internal architecture of a national technology company
• Work in an environment investing heavily in AI-driven development and platform innovation
• Collaborate with a high-impact engineering organization shaping the future of healthcare finance
