About the Role

As a Platform Engineer Sr. Principal, you will play a crucial role as a deputy to the program Chief Technology Officer, leading technology strategy and enterprise architecture for eMedNY. You will be trusted to set and defend the technical direction of one of the nation’s largest Medicaid claims processing environments, spanning a mature IBM z/OS core and AWS cloud-native services. You will provide technical direction to the program’s leads under extremely stringent response-time and continuous-availability service level agreements and HIPAA/HITECH and FedRAMP compliance obligations.

Responsibilities

Set and defend the technical direction for the eMedNY enterprise architecture portfolio across both the mainframe core and the cloud-native platform as one coherent architecture.
Maintain working command of the current-state environment — z/OS, COBOL, CICS, DB2, VSAM, JCL, and the nightly batch cycle — sufficient to arbitrate design decisions and challenge estimates.
Represent the program’s technical position to New York State Department of Health leadership through briefings, formal written responses, and procurement and regulatory questions.
Set technical direction for and mentor the program’s technical leads, including the security architecture and governance and technical architecture and operations functions.
Own architecture governance: chair architecture, change, and delivery-assurance review boards, and maintain standards, reference architectures, and design patterns spanning both platforms.
Assess new and changing CMS and New York State regulatory requirements — interoperability, prior authorization, claims attachments, and reporting mandates — for architectural impact, and shape the technical roadmap and delivery plans that meet them.
Direct compliance posture against HIPAA/HITECH, NIST SP 800-53, FISMA, and FedRAMP Moderate, owning risk registers, corrective action plans, and audit and assessment response.
Oversee technology evaluation and vendor and licensing decisions, including mainframe software licensing and sustainment cost, naming lock-in and supply-chain risk explicitly.
Provide executive-level status reporting, technical documentation, roadmap development, and risk analysis to program, corporate, and client leadership.

Requirements

Credibility on both sides of the estate — able to sit in a design review on a COBOL batch change in the morning and a cloud platform decision in the afternoon, and be taken seriously in both rooms.
Ability to serve as the senior technical authority: hold a decision, carry a position under pressure without escalating it, and commit the program in front of the client.
Direct client-facing experience with government or state agency leadership, including formal written positions that withstand procurement, legal, and audit scrutiny.
Sound architectural judgment and the willingness to name compliance gaps, vendor lock-in, and unsupported claims rather than defer to convenience.
Experience supporting large-scale healthcare, Medicaid/MMIS, or government programs with stringent availability, security, and privacy service level agreements.
Excellent executive communication and technical writing, and a track record managing vendors, budgets, and multi-million-dollar scope.
