Senior Interoperability Engineer

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.

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.

Requirements:

* 5+ years of professional backend or integration engineering experience.

* Strong hands-on experience with Python in production environments.

* Experience designing and operating high-scale REST APIs and backend services .

* Strong experience with Kafka or comparable event-streaming technologies.

* Solid understanding of distributed and event-driven architectures .

* Strong experience with API authentication and authorization, including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and JWT .

* Experience integrating external systems and APIs in complex enterprise environments.

* Hands-on experience with FHIR or healthcare interoperability APIs .

* Strong understanding of API reliability, error handling, retries, idempotency, and observability.

* Experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases.

* Experience with Docker, cloud-native environments, and CI/CD.

* Strong troubleshooting and production problem-solving skills.

Nice to Have:

* Experience with FHIR R4, SMART on FHIR, US Core, or USCDI .

* Knowledge of HL7 v2 or CDA/C-CDA .

* Experience integrating EHR/EMR, payer, HIE/HIN, pharmacy, or laboratory systems.

* Experience with Patient Access APIs, Bulk FHIR, or CMS interoperability requirements.

* Experience with Kubernetes and AWS.

* Healthcare or Digital Health domain experience.

* Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools in day-to-day software development.

Responsibilities:

* 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.

Build core interoperability capabilities for a large-scale Digital Health platform. You’ll work on high-volume healthcare integrations, secure APIs, Kafka-based event processing, and FHIR interoperability rather than traditional ETL or analytics pipelines.
