The Mission

At Christian Care Ministry we believe that Christians can, and should, share in one another’s burdens. Through the use of Medi-Share®, a healthcare sharing ministry for Christians, we cultivate that belief. To that end, our Mission Statement is as follows: Connecting people to a Christ-centered community wellness experience based on faith, prayer, and personal responsibility.

The Team

Everyone at Christian Care Ministry is in agreement with our Statement of Faith, which outlines our core beliefs. Although we aren’t perfect people, we are serving our perfect God and our Members to the best of our ability.

The Job

The Senior Software Solutions Architect (SSSA) leads technology solution design efforts within one of Christian Care Ministry’s (CCM) domain pillars, following the CCM SDLC process. The SSSA acts as the bridge between non-IT stakeholders and the software development staff, crafting technology and feature roadmaps, delivering requirement specifications, and working directly with the software delivery team to ensure quality development and release of features. The SSSA coordinates with our project managers, executive sponsors, and departmental “business owners” to ensure organizational alignment in terms of timelines, commitments, and status. The development projects are critical, high value initiatives that are part of a larger enterprise IT strategy.

During the project design efforts, the Senior Software Solutions Architect leads the team of Architects and UX Research/Designers, and partners with PMO, IT Infrastructure, Production Operations, 3rd Party Vendors/Partners, Software Delivery Managers, and Security/Compliance teams, to design solutions that will be implemented by CCM IT Delivery teams, in order to provide efficient, value-based services to CCM Internal Users and to Members of CCM's Medi-Share program. Additionally, the SSSA works closely with the Sr. Manager of Design and Architecture to ensure the successful realization of the enterprise architecture roadmap and strategy.

The Senior Software Solutions Architect works on the solution design related to various elements of CCM’s platforms, and will address business/user impact, application integration, data integration and migration, security, networking, and will conduct requirements-gathering from end users, stakeholders, and other SMEs.
