Systems Architect
- Systems Architect, Horizon Health Tech (2021-Present): Designed and implemented cloud-based architecture for patient data platform using AWS services and microservices to improve scalability and reliability.
- Led architecture reviews and set standards for engineering teams; helped reduce incidents and improved performance across multiple applications.
- Built CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and GitHub Actions; enabled faster releases and better consistency.
- Integrated third-party vendor systems (billing, identity, analytics) and created APIs; improved interoperability and reduced manual work for operations.
- Created high-level and low-level designs, diagrams, and documentation; collaborated with security and compliance to meet HIPAA requirements.
Overview
- Add specific scope and measurable outcomes (scale, latency, cost, availability, incident reduction).
- Clarify ownership boundaries (what you architected vs. influenced) and size of systems/teams.
- Tighten wording by naming key AWS components and replacing generic phrases with concrete results.
Suggestions
Rewrite to include concrete scale and outcomes plus key AWS components. Example: "Architected AWS-based patient data platform (EKS, RDS, S3, MSK) processing ~XM records/day; improved p95 API latency from A to B and achieved 99.9% uptime."
The bullet is credible but too general; hiring managers look for system scale, design choices, and quantified impact to assess seniority and tradeoffs.
Referenced resume text
"Designed and implemented cloud-based architecture for patient data platform using AWS services and microservices to improve scalability and reliability."
Replace vague incident/performance claims with specific metrics and your direct actions. Example: "Introduced SLOs (99.9%), centralized logging/alerts (CloudWatch/Datadog), and runbooks; cut Sev1 incidents by 35% QoQ and reduced MTTR from 2h to 45m."
"Helped" and "improved" weaken ownership and make results hard to evaluate; tying actions to incident metrics makes the impact verifiable.
Referenced resume text
"Led architecture reviews and set standards for engineering teams; helped reduce incidents and improved performance across multiple applications."
Quantify delivery improvements and clarify pipeline scope. Example: "Built Terraform modules + GitHub Actions pipeline used by 12 services; reduced deploy time from 45m to 12m and increased release frequency from weekly to daily."
CI/CD is expected for this role; the differentiator is scale of adoption and measurable cycle-time gains.
Referenced resume text
"Built CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform and GitHub Actions; enabled faster releases and better consistency."
Specify number of integrations, data flows, and security controls; name protocols and outcomes. Example: "Integrated 3 vendors via OAuth2/OIDC + webhook ingestion; reduced ops reconciliation time by 20 hrs/week; implemented contract testing and rate limiting."
The bullet mixes multiple items but lacks scope (how many systems, what APIs) and tangible impact; details demonstrate architectural rigor and integration complexity.
Referenced resume text
"Integrated third-party vendor systems (billing, identity, analytics) and created APIs; improved interoperability and reduced manual work for operations."
Add concrete HIPAA/security deliverables and your role in controls. Example: "Partnered with Security to implement KMS encryption, private networking, audit logging, and least-privilege IAM; supported HIPAA risk assessment and passed 2 audits with 0 high findings."
Compliance statements are stronger when they show specific controls and audit outcomes; it also signals real-world enterprise architecture experience.
Referenced resume text
"...collaborated with security and compliance to meet HIPAA requirements."
