Build a career with purpose. Join our Cause to create a person-focused and economically sustainable health care system.

Who We Are Looking For:

Every day, Cambia's dedicated team of Solutions Architects are living our mission to make health care easier and lives better. As we position for significant growth and scale, our Corporate Solutions team is embarking on a high-visibility, high-impact modernization journey — and we're looking for a Solutions Architect who is energized by that challenge.

This isn't a greenfield role. It's a forensic one. You'll inherit a complex, highly customized legacy environment spanning Finance, Legal, Compliance, Imaging, Archiving, Middleware, and Integrations — and your job is to understand it deeply, untangle it thoughtfully, and help us build something scalable, modern, and ready for what comes next.

If you're the kind of architect who gets excited by unwinding complexity, who earns credibility by rolling up your sleeves alongside engineers, and who can walk out of a technical deep-dive and turn around and brief a business executive — this role was built for you.

Do you have a passion for solving hard problems and leaving things better than you found them? Then this role may be the perfect fit.
