Role description
We are looking for a Senior Interoperability Engineer to build and scale healthcare integrations for a Digital Health platform connecting providers, payers, clinical systems, and external healthcare networks.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on Python, Kafka, high-scale APIs, healthcare interoperability, and secure data exchange .
What project we have for you
The platform connects healthcare data from multiple clinical and administrative systems and makes it available through secure, standards-based APIs.
The Interoperability domain is responsible for building and operating integrations with external healthcare systems, processing high-volume data exchange, and providing reliable APIs consumed by internal products and partners.
The engineering environment is based on Python, event-driven architecture, Kafka, REST/FHIR APIs, OAuth-based security, and cloud-native services .
What you will do
- Design and develop scalable healthcare interoperability services and APIs .
- Build event-driven integrations using Python and Kafka .
- Implement and support FHIR-based healthcare data exchange.
- Develop secure APIs using OAuth 2.0/OIDC and JWT .
- Integrate external healthcare systems, data providers, and partner APIs.
- Implement data validation, transformation, mapping, and error-handling logic required for interoperability workflows.
- Troubleshoot complex integration, authentication, and distributed-system issues.
- Improve API performance, scalability, reliability, and observability.
- Build automated tests covering API behavior and integration scenarios.
- Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and engineering standards.
