Résumé du poste

A technology solutions firm in Chennai is looking for a Principal Middleware Architect to define and govern integrations for healthcare software applications. You will own the integration architecture, API standards, and lead design efforts to enable device-agnostic integration patterns. The ideal candidate has strong experience with Python, REST APIs, and event-driven architectures. This full-time role offers a chance to shape long-term integration roadmaps and ensure auditable, scalable solutions across healthcare systems.

Qualifications

• Strong experience with Python-based backend systems (Django / FastAPI or similar).
• Hands-on experience designing REST APIs and API contracts.
• Deep understanding of API versioning, backward compatibility, and governance.
• Experience with event-driven architectures.
• Exposure to regulated domains (healthcare preferred).

Responsabilités

• Define and evolve the central interface/middleware architecture.
• Guide teams on RESTful and event-driven integration patterns.
• Ensure integrations are contract-first, versioned, and observable.
• Partner with DevOps on deployment, scaling, and observability concerns.

Description du poste

Principal Middleware Architect – Healthcare Integrations

We are building a central integration and interface platform that enables Healthcare Software systems to connect reliably with medical devices, diagnostics, labs, and external partners—without compromising core system stability.

Role Overview

As Principal Middleware Architect, you will define and govern how integrations are built at Healthcare enterprise software application. You will own the integration architecture, API standards, and canonical models, while working closely with backend teams to ensure integrations remain scalable, auditable, and contract-driven.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys setting direction, designing core patterns, and removing systemic integration friction, rather than firefighting individual adapters.

What You’ll Own

Integration Architecture & Standards

• Define and evolve the central interface / middleware architecture
• Establish clear boundaries between core systems and integrations
• Design canonical APIs and events used across devices and partners
• Own API versioning, contract standards, and compatibility policies

API & Event Governance

• Design internal vs external API contracts with long-term stability in mind
• Guide teams on RESTful and event-driven integration patterns
• Review and unblock backend integration designs with architectural clarity
• Ensure integrations are contract-first, versioned, and observable

Device & Partner Integrations

• Enable device-agnostic, adapter-based integration patterns
• Define normalization strategies for device, lab, and partner data

Non-Functional Architecture

• Guide latency, throughput, and rate-limiting strategies
• Define integration-specific database schemas and data boundaries
• Ensure end-to-end traceability and auditable integration flows
• Partner with DevOps on deployment, scaling, and observability concerns
• Work with the Architecture Board to enforce standards pragmatically
• Act as a trusted advisor to backend teams—not a gatekeeper
• Shape long-term integration roadmaps and reference implementations

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong experience with Python-based backend systems (Django / FastAPI or similar)
• Hands-on experience designing REST APIs and API contracts
• Deep understanding of API versioning, backward compatibility, and governance
• Experience with event-driven architectures
• Experience designing integration-specific data models or schemas
• Exposure to regulated domains (healthcare preferred)

Nice to Have

• Experience with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar messaging platforms
• Familiarity with API Gateways and traffic management concepts
• WebSockets or real-time data flows
• Medical device or diagnostics integration experience
• Audit, compliance, or traceability-driven system design

How Success Is Measured

• API consumers experience predictable, versioned contracts
• Backend teams integrate faster with fewer production issues
• Integration flows are auditable, observable, and scalable

Why This Role Is Different

• You’re defining how integrations are done, not fixing broken ones
• Architectural authority is backed by the Architecture Board
• Focus on patterns, standards, and leverage, not one-off adapters
• Real impact across devices, partners, and core healthcare systems
