Job description

Position Summary

We are seeking a Software Engineer – Integrations & Interfaces to join our growing engineering team. This role bridges application development and healthcare interoperability, focusing on designing, building, and maintaining robust data interfaces with partner systems. You will work across HL7, FHIR, and modern API integrations to enable seamless communication between Surgimate’s platform and external healthcare systems. The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering fundamentals with hands‑on experience in healthcare data standards and integration technologies. Communication skills are crucial for this role, as it involves direct interaction with customers, vendors, and technical teams.

Integration Engineering

• Design, develop, and implement HL7 (v2.x, v3, FHIR) and API‑based integrations between Surgimate and partner systems (EHRs, scheduling platforms, and other healthcare IT systems). Perform data mapping, transformation, and validation to ensure accuracy and compliance of data exchanges.
• Build and support interface workflows using integration tools (e.g., Mirth Connect). Collaborate with external healthcare providers, IT teams, and internal stakeholders to deliver seamless and reliable data interoperability.
• Troubleshoot, test, and monitor interfaces to maintain continuous data flow and minimize downtime.

Software Development

• Contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of Surgimate’s web and backend applications. Develop and document RESTful APIs and services to support integrations and platform connectivity.
• Participate in code reviews, maintain documentation, and follow best practices for testing and version control.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (QA, Product, and US‑based Engineering) to deliver scalable and secure solutions.

Operational Support

• Investigate, debug, and resolve integration and software issues reported by internal teams or clients.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts by suggesting enhancements to interface architecture, workflow automation, and data exchange efficiency.
• Support broader platform initiatives as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 4–6 years of professional experience in software development and system integrations.
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language/framework: Angular, Ruby on Rails, Python, PHP, NodeJS or Java.
• Proven experience with HL7 interface development, message types (ADT, ORM, ORU, SIU), and FHIR APIs.
• Strong understanding of RESTful API design, JSON/XML data structures, and database querying (SQL and NoSQL).
• Excellent debugging and problem‑solving skills with a focus on reliability and performance.
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills – ability to work directly with customers, vendors, and technical teams to gather requirements, resolve issues, and ensure smooth integrations.
• Effective collaborator in a distributed, remote‑first environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Mirth Connect or similar integration engines.
• Background in healthcare IT and understanding of interoperability standards and compliance (HIPAA, CCD, CDA).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Exposure to AI development tools such as Cursor, Claude, or similar.
• Prior experience integrating with EMR/EHR systems.

Working Conditions

• Remote‑first position with home office as the primary workspace.
• Required overlap of 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET to collaborate with US‑based teams.
• Flexibility to work extended hours as needed to support key initiatives.

Why Join Us

• Play a pivotal role in building the integration framework that powers data interoperability across healthcare systems.
• Work on innovative healthcare technology products with a direct impact on patient care coordination.
• Collaborative and inclusive environment focused on learning, innovation, and delivery excellence.
