Who We Are

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.

The Team

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

The Role

The Senior Software Solutions Architect (SSA) leads technology solution design efforts within one of Christian Care Ministry’s domain pillars, following the CCM SDLC process. The SSA 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 SSA 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.

• Performing feasibility-analysis on initiative requirements, understanding what we can implement through modifications to our current architecture and what depends on new architecture being built
• Assembling feature roadmaps, staging for dependencies, and ensuring iterative and incremental delivery to satisfy initiative requirements
• Documenting features with functional design – coordinating with UX Researchers/Designers, Enterprise/Systems Architects, Vendors, Security/Compliance, and Production Operations to capture the intended functional design
• Authoring and leading the grooming of user stories for their scrum team
• Prioritizing at the feature and user story level, ensuring that scrum team deliverables align with overall organizational goals
