Description

As the Chief Data & Interoperability Architect, you will set the technical direction for how healthcare data moves between systems on a federal health program. You will be the senior technical voice on data and interoperability, from cloud-native API modernization and FHIR/OMOP data standards to event-driven integration on AWS GovCloud.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the data and interoperability architecture, including production HL7 v2 and FHIR interfaces, mapping and validation.
  • Lead the migration of legacy SOAP services to containerized REST and FHIR R4 APIs on AWS GovCloud, using an API gateway and OpenAPI specifications, with no disruption to partners.
  • Define OMOP Common Data Model and standard-terminology mappings and design event-driven or streaming data flows for near-real-time exchange.
  • Design REST APIs and cloud-hosted integrations on an enterprise integration engine or API-management platform.
  • Turn architecture into backlog work, surface dependencies early, and support iterative testing and release demos, working within SAFe and the Government’s Azure DevOps.
  • Align development, data, operations and security teams on technical decisions, including AI/ML and other vendor teams.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s in computer science, information systems, engineering, health informatics or a related field with 8-12 yrs. of prior relevant experience.
  • 10 years in software engineering, systems integration or data engineering, including 3 as a solution architect or technical lead for integration or data-platform delivery.
  • Production HL7 v2 and FHIR interface experience, including source-to-target mapping and data validation, HL7-to-FHIR R4 conversion, and interoperability conformance testing.
  • Experience designing REST APIs and cloud-hosted integrations using at least one enterprise integration engine or API-management platform.
  • Experience with containerized microservices (such as ECS or EKS), API gateways and OpenAPI, and migrating legacy SOAP services to REST/FHIR, preferably in AWS GovCloud or an equivalent government cloud.
  • Agile delivery experience: translating requirements into backlog work, managing dependencies, supporting iterative integration, testing and release demos, and coordinating decisions across teams, with working knowledge of SAFe and Azure DevOps.

Benefits:

  • Pay Range $107,900.00 - $195,050.00
