Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Software/System Architect with a strong software engineering background to drive security-related architectural improvements in a large, mature on-premise healthcare product. The ideal candidate has experience with monolithic/legacy C++ systems and can translate security requirements into practical architecture decisions while assessing technical impact, dependencies, and risks.

• Analyze security requirements from a software and system architecture perspective.
• Define how security requirements should be implemented within the existing product.
• Design solutions for security issues that require architecture changes.
• Evaluate technical impact, dependencies, and implementation risks.
• Determine whether requirements should be addressed at application or infrastructure level.
• Define secure approaches for areas such as file processing, database access, authentication, external integrations, and other trust boundaries.
• Guide developers during implementation.
• Review proposed technical solutions.
• Ensure that changes remain compatible with the existing legacy architecture.
• Collaborate with the IT Security Expert.
• Support technical prioritization and decision-making.

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering and architecture background.
• Experience designing solutions for large monolithic applications.
• Experience working with legacy C++ systems is strongly preferred.
• Understanding of Qt-based desktop/on-premise applications is an advantage.
• Experience introducing architectural changes into mature systems without destabilizing existing functionality.
• Good understanding of low-level application concerns such as memory management and threading.
• Ability to determine whether a security requirement should be solved at application, architecture, or infrastructure/environment level.
• Experience with on-premise enterprise or healthcare products is an advantage.
• Ability to translate security requirements into practical architectural solutions.

Requirements

• Location: Bulgaria, Poland (remote)
• Contract: B2B, full-time (160-178 hours/month)

Company Description

We are looking for an experienced Software/System Architect to support the security improvement of a large on-premise healthcare product. The product is a mature monolithic application implemented in C++ with a Qt-based user interface. Some security requirements cannot be solved through isolated code changes and require architecture-level decisions. You will work closely with the client's architects, developers, and security specialists.
