• Cloud Strategy: Design and deploy high-volume, high-availability InterSystems productions across cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Integration & Engineering Leadership

• Complex Integrations: Lead design and development efforts for large-scale, complex integration projects using InterSystems IRIS for Health and HealthConnect.

• Best Practices & Standards: Establish and enforce best practices and coding standards for ObjectScript, Data Transformation Language (DTL), XSLT, and message routing workflows.

• Performance & Data Modeling: Perform advanced data modeling, system tuning, and performance optimization across the InterSystems tech stack.

Governance, Security & Leadership

• Compliance & Security: Ensure all integrations comply with healthcare security, privacy, and regulatory standards (e.g., HIPAA, HITECH, state HIE requirements).

• Technical Governance: Lead high-level design reviews, conduct architectural audits, and mitigate technical risks prior to deployment.

• Mentorship: Serve as a subject matter expert, mentoring developers, integration engineers, and systems analysts to raise the team’s overall technical maturity.

• Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with executive leadership, clinical stakeholders, and external partners to align business requirements with technical delivery.

Required Qualifications

• Experience:

  • 10+ years of progressive experience in Healthcare IT / Health Informatics.

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and architecting solutions specifically on InterSystems HealthShare.

• Core Technical Expertise:

  • Deep expertise in InterSystems IRIS, HealthConnect, Caché, and ObjectScript.

  • Advanced proficiency with interoperability standards: HL7 v2.x, C-CDA, IHE profiles (XDS.b, PIX/PDQ), and FHIR.

• Infrastructure & Design:

  • Proven track record of designing high-volume, fault-tolerant, high-availability integration environments.

  • Practical experience with Cloud Architecture (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform).

• Soft Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to translate complex technical concepts for executive leadership and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Certification: InterSystems Certified HealthShare Architect or InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer Certification.

• EHR Systems: Hands-on integration experience with major Electronic Health Record (EHR) platforms such as Epic, Cerner (Oracle Health), or MEDITECH.

• Analytics: Experience with InterSystems analytics tools (DeepSee / Health Insight).

• DevOps: Exposure to modern CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and automated testing frameworks tailored for InterSystems environments.
