Healthcare Integration Architect

Role overview Design, build, and govern integrations connecting clinical and business applications across a healthcare environment. This is a senior, hands-on architecture role: you’ll own a central Mirth integration platform while setting reusable standards that support reliable information exchange between local systems and central services.

Responsibilities - Design end-to-end integrations and data flows between clinical systems such as HIS, RIS, PACS, and LIS, and central platforms. - Develop and maintain Mirth channels, connectors, transformations, filters, routing, and message-processing logic. - Build interfaces, APIs, scripts, and data mappings using suitable technologies; work with REST, web services, XML, JSON, and healthcare messages. - Establish reliable processing practices for acknowledgements, retries, queues, errors, recovery, monitoring, and alerting. - Troubleshoot failed, delayed, or duplicate messages, identify root causes, and improve production reliability and performance. - Define integration standards, review internal and vendor designs, promote reusable services, and guide implementation across teams and sites. - Translate clinical and business requirements into designs, lead technical workshops, surface risks, and provide guidance to developers.

Requirements - At least eight years of professional IT experience, including substantial application or system integration work; three to five years in an architecture or comparable senior technical role. - Strong hands-on integration development experience and experience with enterprise integration engines; Mirth Connect is strongly preferred. - Strong knowledge of HL7, including common workflows and message types such as ADT, ORM, ORU, and SIU. - Experience with REST APIs, web services, XML, JSON, and complex message or data transformation. - Ability to work at both architecture and development levels, troubleshoot complex systems, and document technical designs clearly. - Strong communication and stakeholder skills, including collaboration with vendors and international teams; fluent written and spoken English. - Bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant technical discipline, or equivalent background as reflected in the role’s experience requirements.

Nice to have - Healthcare interoperability or architecture certifications; FHIR knowledge; DICOM or medical imaging workflow experience; and familiarity with HIS, RIS, PACS, or LIS applications.
