• Document all integration and migration processes, transformation logic, and post-migration validation results.
• Ensure all data handling complies with HIPAA, security best practices, and organizational governance standards.

Key Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Health Informatics, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in data migration, ETL, integration engineering, or interoperability projects (preferably in a healthcare/EHR environment).
• Strong understanding of healthcare data standards: HL7 v2+, FHIR, CCD/CCDA, ICD, CPT, LOINC, SNOMED.
• Proficiency in SQL and data transformation tools (SSIS, Talend, Informatica, Mirth Connect, etc.).
• Experience with one or more major EHR platforms.
• Experience with cloud ecosystems (AWS, Azure) and API-driven data exchange.
• Exposure to or interest in AI-driven automation for data quality, validation, and workflow optimization.
• Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.
