- Collaborate with CMS stakeholders, business analysts, and development teams to translate Medicare regulatory requirements into technical architecture decisions and system configurations
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to development team members on Facets platform capabilities, AWS cloud services, and healthcare IT best practices
- Design and implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions using AWS CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and GuardDuty to ensure system health, security compliance, and batch cycle reliability
- Support high-volume batch processing operations including overnight claims adjudication cycles, capitation runs, and eligibility file processing with performance optimization
- Develop and maintain architecture documentation, system diagrams, runbooks, and technical specifications for all Facets-on-AWS implementations
- Participate in technical design sessions, sprint planning, and architecture review boards to ensure alignment with enterprise standards and CMS directives
- Troubleshoot complex production issues spanning Facets application logic, Oracle database performance, and AWS infrastructure, providing root cause analysis and remediation
