Qualifications Required 8+ years of software engineering, solutions architecture, or healthcare interoperability experience. 5+ years designing and delivering enterprise healthcare integrations. Deep expertise with: HL7v2 FHIR APIs SMART on FHIR REST APIs XML Flat-file integrations Experience integrating with enterprise EMRs such as: Epic Oracle Health (Cerner) Athenahealth Homecare Homebase or similar healthcare platforms. Strong understanding of healthcare data mapping, transformation, validation, patient identity matching, and interoperability workflows. Experience designing scalable distributed systems and API architectures. Strong understanding of cloud-native application architecture (AWS preferred). Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives without direct management authority. Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Comfortable operating in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments. Preferred Experience building interoperability platforms rather than only customer-specific integrations. Experience with event-driven architectures and asynchronous messaging systems. Familiarity with Mirth Connect (NextGen Connect), Rhapsody, Cloverleaf, or similar integration engines. Experience with OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and healthcare identity management. Knowledge of: TEFCA QHINs PACIO Direct Secure Messaging Bulk FHIR CDS Hooks Experience working with health systems, home health, hospice, or care coordination organizations. Hands-on software development experience with modern programming languages. Experience reviewing architecture and mentoring senior engineers. The Type of Person You Are You naturally think in systems rather than individual projects. You enjoy solving difficult technical problems and designing elegant, scalable solutions. You balance pragmatism with long-term architectural thinking. You thrive in ambiguity and bring structure to complex technical challenges. You influence through technical expertise, collaboration, and credibility rather than organizational authority. You enjoy mentoring engineers and elevating the technical capabilities of those around you. You are equally comfortable whiteboarding with a CIO, debugging an HL7 message, reviewing an API design, or coaching an engineering team through a complex architecture decision. You continuously look for opportunities to transform one-off customer work into reusable platform capabilities.
