FotoFinder Systems GmbH is the world's leading manufacturer of imaging systems for dermatology and aesthetics.

We are looking for a Lead Solution Architect – Digital MedTech Platform to define and steer the overall architecture across FotoFinder's digital product portfolio, including mobile applications, cloud-based platforms, connected medical devices, and data management systems.

You will play a key role in designing a cohesive, scalable, and future-ready ecosystem, ensuring seamless integration between device software, cloud services, and clinical workflows. This includes enabling secure and compliant interoperability with EHR systems, third-party healthcare platforms, and partner solutions, while supporting the evolution toward data-driven and AI-enabled applications without disrupting clinical operations.

Key Objectives

Define a holistic reference architecture across edge, mobile, and cloud environments, ensuring seamless interaction between devices, applications, and platforms
Establish and drive a cloud and platform evolution strategy, including migration approaches for existing systems and integration of new digital products
Enable offline-capable edge and mobile workflows, combined with scalable cloud services for data processing, analytics, and AI-driven applications
Ensure secure and compliant integration with EHR systems, third-party healthcare platforms, and partner solutions
Provide strong architecture governance across multiple parallel initiatives, ensuring consistency, scalability, and maintainability
Support the evolution of FotoFinder's data and AI platform capabilities, including data pipelines, interoperability, and advanced analytics

Your Responsibilities
As Lead Solution Architect – Digital MedTech Platform, you will:

Design and own the end-to-end architecture across the full product ecosystem, including mobile applications, connected devices, on-premise components, and cloud platforms
Define modular system boundaries, APIs, integration patterns, and data ownership models across distributed systems
Develop and drive the evolution and migration roadmap, from existing on-premise solutions toward scalable, cloud-enabled and platform-based architectures
Ensure seamless integration with EHR systems, third-party healthcare platforms, and partner solutions, applying interoperability standards where applicable (e.g., HL7, FHIR)
Guide and align distributed development teams (cloud, mobile, application, infrastructure) and ensure architectural consistency across initiatives
Establish and enforce architecture governance, standards, and decision frameworks across the organization
Collaborate closely with product management, regulatory, clinical, and business stakeholders to align architecture with product strategy and market needs
Drive technology selection and platform strategy decisions, balancing innovation, scalability, and regulatory constraints
Ensure secure, compliant, and robust handling of clinical and patient data across all system components
Support the development of a scalable data and AI platform, enabling advanced analytics, image processing, and AI-driven use cases

Technical Expertise

Cloud Architecture

Define and implement scalable, secure, and compliant AWS-based cloud architectures supporting FotoFinder's digital ecosystem, including imaging platforms, AI services, and clinical data workflows
Architect and govern the usage of core AWS services (e.g., EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, S3, RDS/Aurora, IAM, API Gateway, CloudWatch) to enable reliable, high-performance, and interoperable solutions
Design hybrid cloud architectures, ensuring seamless integration between cloud services, offline and edge/device components with secure data synchronization
Establish and enforce Infrastructure-as-Code standards (Terraform, CloudFormation) to enable reproducible, auditable, and scalable environments across multiple stages and regions
Define and implement CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices, enabling continuous delivery while ensuring traceability and compliance in regulated environments
Design and enforce cloud security architectures, including IAM strategies, encryption (at rest and in transit), VPC/network segmentation, and zero-trust principles aligned with healthcare data protection requirements
Implement observability, monitoring, and logging strategies (metrics, tracing, alerting), ensuring system reliability, performance transparency, and efficient incident response
Drive cloud cost governance and optimization, including cost visibility, resource optimization, and architecture decisions balancing performance, scalability, and economic efficiency
Ensure regulatory compliance and auditability of cloud environments, supporting standards such as ISO 62304, ISO 13485, and secure handling of patient data
