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.
