Chief Technology Officer

Medical Informatics Engineering (MIE) is a leading provider of electronic health records (EHR) and workflow management solutions, specializing in occupational health. Since its founding in 1995, MIE has been at the forefront of healthcare technology — playing a key role in launching one of the nation’s first health information exchanges and introducing WebChart, an innovative early EHR solution. Today, MIE continues to lead the industry with a highly configurable, end-to-end platform designed to streamline clinical workflows, ensure occupational compliance, and enhance employee engagement. Its flagship product, Enterprise Health, serves as the system of record for occupational health, integrating seamlessly into daily operations. With robust clinical functionality, safety and compliance tools, HR integrations, and advanced reporting, Enterprise Health delivers a comprehensive solution tailored to the needs of large healthcare systems, government agencies (including the VA and DoD), and Fortune 500 companies like Lilly, Chevron, and JPMC. MIE remains committed to innovation, making significant investments in AI to enhance efficiency, decision making, and patient outcomes within the enterprise health ecosystem. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) will be a critical driver of company performance and integral to the advancement and execution of MIE’s product and technology strategy, delivering value through modernizing the technology platform, improving engineering efficiency, and enabling scalable, high‑quality product delivery. This leader will lead the engineering organization by building the structure, processes , and technical foundation required to support the new lifecycle of development in the era of AI.
