Background
Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) are fundamentally changing how we develop new medicines. By leveraging smartphones, wearables, and smart textiles to capture continuous digital biomarkers, we are moving toward a more precise, data-driven understanding of patient health. These technologies allow us to monitor vital signs and symptoms in real-time, aiming to significantly accelerate clinical development and improve the quality of evidence we use to bring new therapies to market. To power these digital health studies, we operate a sophisticated data ecosystem. Our infrastructure integrates mobile applications, advanced sensors, and complex data pipelines into a unified analytics platform. As we scale, we are managing terabytes of sensor data from thousands of global participants. We need a robust, scalable architecture to manage this data lifecycle - from ingestion to deep analytics. We are looking for an innovative Solution Architect to lead the architectural vision of our Digital Health Platform (DHP). This role requires an expert communicator with a deep understanding of cloud-native ecosystems and the ability to engineer high-volume, large-scale data pipelines.
