What You'll Do

• Define and own the enterprise architecture strategy for Texas Medicaid modernization efforts, including migration NSK/CAGen-based systems to Java on Linux with Oracle, and VB6 to .NET web apps.
• Provide architecture strategy for non-CA Gen-based components on NSK, including TACL scripts, NetBatch jobs, and hand-written C code.
• Develop and maintain architecture reference models, solution blueprints, and technical roadmaps aligned with HHSC and TMHP.
• Evaluate current-state capabilities across legacy systems and produce gap analyses against target-state architecture.
• Establish and govern architecture standards, design patterns, and guardrails for development teams across workstreams.
• Lead architecture review boards and provide technical sign-off on solution designs, integration patterns, and infrastructure decisions.
• Provide authoritative guidance on NSK/CAGen to Java conversion strategies, including code generation approaches, runtime equivalency validation, and platform transition sequencing.
• Architect the migration path from VB6/COM desktop applications to modern .NET web applications, defining layered architecture, API contracts, and UI component strategies.
• Design data migration and ETL architectures for transitioning from NSK-based data stores to Oracle and SQL Server targets, including C-to-Java ETL conversion patterns.
• Identify and mitigate technical risks related to legacy system dependencies, data integrity, platform performance parity, and trading partner continuity.
• Ensure architectural continuity between legacy systems remaining in operation and newly modernized components during transition periods.
• Identify opportunities to apply AI/ML capabilities within Texas Medicaid operations, including AI-assisted code modernization, intelligent claims processing, anomaly detection, and automated testing.
• Architect AI/ML integration patterns that meet HHSC governance, data privacy, and explainability requirements for state Medicaid systems; champion AI-assisted development tooling with appropriate governance.
• Travel may be required for this role (0–100%).

• Minimum of 15 years hands-on NSK/HP NonStop platforms and CAGen/Gen (Broadcom) code generation environments, including system analysis and issue resolution.
• Minimum of 8 years of Java application architecture experience, including NSK-to-Java migration patterns, Spring-based enterprise frameworks, and Linux-based deployment.
• Minimum of 6 years of VB6-to-.NET modernization, including API layer design, web UI patterns, and COM component replacement strategies.
• Minimum of 6 years Oracle database architecture skills, including schema design, performance tuning, ETL architecture, and migration from legacy data platforms.
• Minimum of 8 years of hands-on cloud architecture experience with Microsoft Azure, including IaaS, PaaS, Azure DevOps, and cloud security/compliance design for regulated workloads.
• Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent (12 years) of work experience; Associate’s Degree with 6 years may be accepted.
