Job Description

We are seeking an Integration & Identity Architect to lead the identity, access, and integration workstreams of an architectural assessment of a Claims, Encounters, and Financials (CEF) platform. Two of the most operationally pressing challenges in scope for this engagement are the Citrix dependency serving 65–75 client users with no approved exit strategy, and the EDI and external system integration architecture requiring deep assessment for failure risk and coupling exposure.

The ideal candidate brings specialized experience in SSO and identity federation, token-based authentication, API gateway patterns, EDI processing, and the design of web-native replacement architectures for virtualized desktop environments. This person will produce a practical, client-ready Citrix exit strategy and contribute rigorous integration architecture findings and recommendations across the broader platform.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the Citrix exit strategy workstream, assessing the current virtualized desktop access model and proposing web-based or non-virtualized alternatives with SSO-based authentication, token-based access, and a centralized landing page or menu system model
Evaluate current-state identity and access management patterns, including authentication mechanisms, authorization models, elevated-access operational dependencies, and session management
Design and document an SSO-based access architecture as the target-state replacement for the Citrix environment, including identity federation options, token issuance patterns, and centralized access management
Lead the integration architecture workstream, assessing inbound and outbound interfaces including EDI/820 processing, upstream and downstream system dependencies, synchronous and asynchronous patterns, failure handling, and coupling risks
Evaluate API gateway patterns in use or required, including routing, authentication enforcement, rate limiting, and observability at integration boundaries
Assess event-driven and message-based integration patterns, including failure recovery and retry design
Contribute integration and identity findings to the Current State Assessment, Recommendation Matrix, and Remediation Roadmap
Participate in structured SME interviews covering Citrix access, SSO current state, EDI processing, and interface inventory
Support the production of integration dependency diagrams and access model documentation for inclusion in the final deliverables

Requirements

10+ years of integration and identity architecture experience in enterprise environments
Deep experience designing SSO-based access models, including identity federation, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and token-based authentication patterns
Demonstrated experience designing or assessing Citrix, Parallels RAS, or equivalent virtual desktop exit strategies and web-native replacements
Strong experience with EDI processing architectures and the integration patterns that support high-volume transactional data exchange
Experience with API gateway design, centralized access management, and integration boundary security
Strong understanding of synchronous and asynchronous integration patterns including event-driven messaging and failure recovery
Ability to present Citrix exit options with clear tradeoff analysis appropriate for client decision-making and approval processes
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to produce clear, evidence-based architecture recommendations

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Medicaid EDI transactions including 820, 834, 835, or equivalent financial and enrollment data exchanges
Familiarity with healthcare identity and access management requirements including HIPAA access controls and audit logging
Exposure to centralized identity platforms such as Okta, Azure AD, Ping Identity, or AWS IAM Identity Center
Experience assessing integration architectures in regulated healthcare or government IT environments
Familiarity with API management platforms and their role in enterprise integration governance
Experience contributing to architecture assessments or modernization engagements involving complex integration landscapes
