Job description

Engineering at Innovaccer – With every line of code, we accelerate our customers' success, turning complex challenges into innovative solutions. We transform each data point into valuable insights, enabling better healthcare outcomes. Join us to shape the future and make a meaningful impact.

About The Role

We're looking for a Staff Engineer – Healthcare Interoperability to lead the architecture, development, and evolution of the interoperability platform that powers secure healthcare data exchange across our products. You will own mission‑critical integrations connecting EMR/EHR systems, practice management platforms, laboratories, payers, and external partners while shaping the long‑term technical strategy. This high‑impact, hands‑on role combines deep expertise in healthcare interoperability with strong software engineering fundamentals and architectural leadership, designing modern integration solutions using standards such as HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA/CCDA, X12/EDI, and working with engines like Rhapsody, Mirth Connect, Cloverleaf, or Corepoint. Beyond implementation, you will set technical direction, drive engineering excellence, improve platform reliability, mentor engineers, and partner with Product, Implementation, R&D, QA, and Customer Success to deliver secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions.

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• Own the architecture, design, and evolution of complex interoperability solutions spanning multiple healthcare systems
• Design scalable, loosely coupled, cloud‑native integration architectures built for high transaction volumes
• Lead architecture reviews and technical design discussions, and set engineering standards and best practices across teams
• Drive technical decisions that balance immediate business priorities with the platform's long‑term evolution
• Evaluate emerging interoperability standards, modernise legacy integrations toward API‑first and event‑driven patterns, and simplify architecture while reducing technical debt

Software Engineering

• Build and maintain healthcare interfaces across HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA/CCDA, X12/EDI, REST, and SOAP using Python, Go, Java, or similar
• Develop reusable integration frameworks, shared libraries, and developer tooling that raise the team's velocity
• Write maintainable, well‑tested, well‑documented code, and review complex designs to steer engineers toward robust, scalable solutions

Reliability, Security & Operations

• Own production reliability for critical integrations – retry mechanisms, idempotent processing, monitoring, alerting, auditing, and error recovery for workflows that cannot fail silently
• Lead incident investigations and root‑cause analysis, drive long‑term corrective action, and be on‑call for critical services
• Build with HIPAA and PHI handling front of mind – encryption, authentication, authorization, and audit trails are built in
• Define and track SLIs/SLOs for critical integration services, and optimise infrastructure for performance, cost, and disaster recovery

Collaboration & Mentorship

• Mentor engineers through architecture reviews, design reviews, code reviews, and pairing sessions
• Act as a trusted technical partner for Product, R&D, Implementation, QA, and Customer Success – turning complex requirements into shipped solutions
• Champion good engineering habits – automated testing, CI/CD, observability, documentation – and build cross‑team alignment through influence rather than authority

What success looks like in your first 6‑12 months: you own technical delivery on critical interoperability initiatives end‑to‑end, measurably improve reliability, observability, and scalability across integration services, set standards and reusable frameworks for the team, speed up incident detection and recovery, and become the go‑to person for interoperability strategy and execution across Product, R&D, Implementation, QA, and Customer Success.

Qualifications

Must‑Haves

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time building enterprise integration or healthcare interoperability solutions
• Deep, hands‑on expertise with HL7 v2, FHIR, CDA/CCDA, X12/EDI, and healthcare messaging workflows
• Hands‑on experience with integration engines such as Rhapsody, Mirth Connect, Cloverleaf, Corepoint, or comparable platforms
• Strong backend engineering skills in Python, Go, or Java
• Strong experience with SQL and relational databases – query optimisation, stored procedures, data modelling, and ETL
• Experience designing RESTful APIs, SOAP services, JSON/XML‑based integrations, and distributed integration architectures
• Experience building and operating cloud‑native applications on AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP
• Experience designing resilient distributed systems – messaging, async processing, fault tolerance, retries, idempotency, and high‑availability patterns
• Strong grounding in software architecture, design patterns, scalability, observability, and system reliability
• Experience with CI/CD, Git‑based workflows, automated testing, Infrastructure as Code, and DevOps practices
• A demonstrated track record of leading architecture discussions, mentoring engineers, and driving engineering excellence across teams
• Excellent communication skills – able to explain complex technical tradeoffs to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Experience working in Agile environments (Scrum or Kanban)

Good to Have

• Experience integrating with EMR/EHR or Practice Management systems (Allscripts, NextGen, Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Oracle Health/Cerner, or similar)
• Experience with event‑driven architectures and messaging technologies like Apache Kafka
• Familiarity with observability platforms such as New Relic, KFuse, Datadog, or Splunk
• Experience with containerisation and orchestration – Docker, Kubernetes
• Familiarity with US healthcare workflows, HIPAA regulations, CMS requirements, and payer‑provider integrations

Benefits

• Generous Leaves – up to 40 days
• Parental Leave – industry‑leading policy for new additions
• Sabbatical – support for skill development, academic pursuits, or personal breaks
• Health Insurance – comprehensive coverage for medical expenses for you and your family, including family members
• Care Program – care vouchers for major life events and needs
• Financial Assistance – salary advances and personal loans for genuine personal needs
