Lead Solution Architect (m/w/d) Digital MedTech Platform

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

Microservices & Distributed Systems

• Microservice architecture design and decomposition of legacy systems
• API-first design and lifecycle governance
• Event-driven architectures and asynchronous communication
• Containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS)
• Resilience patterns, versioning, and backward compatibility
