- Documenting solution requirements and ensuring alignment between business needs and data platform capabilities
The key Moderna Mindsets you’ll need to succeed in the role:
- “We act with dynamic range, driving strategy and execution at the same time at every step.” As a Data Solutions Architect, you’ll be expected to span strategic ideation and hands-on development. Whether it’s steering architectural discussions or debugging complex workflows, you must seamlessly shift between leading at the whiteboard and delivering code in production.
- “We digitize everywhere possible using the power of code to maximize our impact on patients.” This role directly contributes to Moderna’s vision of data-driven decision-making by building scalable digital infrastructure. Your work will enable real-time insights and AI applications, enhancing Moderna’s ability to serve patients more effectively and efficiently.
