An experienced Senior Interface Analyst is sought to support complex healthcare system integrations, data exchange operations, and interoperability initiatives within a large-scale healthcare benefits environment. This opportunity is ideal for a technical professional with 8 or more years of IT experience, advanced API and interface analysis skills, and a strong understanding of health insurance transactions. Candidates who can independently manage integrations throughout the systems development lifecycle (SDLC), troubleshoot production issues, and collaborate effectively with business and technical stakeholders will be well positioned for consideration.

Must Haves

• IT and Interface Analysis Experience: 8+ years of IT experience, with substantial hands-on involvement in interface development, integration analysis, data exchange, or related technical functions.

• API and Web Services Expertise: Advanced knowledge of RESTful APIs, SOAP web services, HTTP request/response processes, endpoint configuration, and integration troubleshooting.

• Data Formats and Validation: Strong proficiency in JSON, XML, data schemas, payload validation, data mapping, transformation rules, and reconciliation techniques.

• Secure File Transfers: Required experience with SFTP, including file‑transfer troubleshooting, connectivity, encryption, access controls, and operational monitoring.

• Technical Documentation: Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain business requirements, interface specifications, data mappings, record layouts, and Interface Control Documents (ICDs).

• Database and Data Analysis: Proficiency in SQL, database validation, transaction analysis, error‑log investigation, and identifying discrepancies across integrated systems.

• Healthcare Business Knowledge: Strong understanding of health insurance operations, healthcare data structures, transaction types, and related integration requirements. Medicaid experience is preferred.

• Communication and Ownership: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong analytical abilities, and the capacity to manage multiple priorities independently while coordinating with diverse stakeholders.

What the Client Needs You to Do

Manage the full lifecycle of healthcare interfaces supporting an enterprise benefits administration platform, ensuring reliable, secure, and accurate information exchange among internal applications and external partners. Translate business needs into clear technical requirements, coordinate integration design and testing, and resolve data or connectivity issues that affect operational performance. Contribute to healthcare interoperability initiatives and continuous improvements in development and delivery practices. Success in this role requires technical depth, careful documentation, proactive communication, and accountability for integration outcomes from initial requirements through production stabilization.

Key Responsibilities

• Gather and Analyze Requirements: Work with business analysts, technical teams, vendors, and external partners to define interface requirements, assess existing capabilities, and document integration needs.

• Develop Interface Specifications: Create and maintain technical documentation covering data schemas, file layouts, field mappings, transformation logic, validation rules, error handling, and reconciliation processes.

• Define API Requirements: Document REST, SOAP, and FHIR-based interfaces, including endpoints, request and response structures, authentication requirements, payload formats, and error-handling behavior.

• Support Interoperability Initiatives: Contribute to healthcare data-sharing programs and applicable regulatory initiatives involving FHIR-based patient access, provider access, payer-to-payer exchange, and prior authorization APIs.

• Coordinate Integration Design: Facilitate joint application design sessions, technical reviews, schema walkthroughs, and requirements validation to ensure proposed solutions meet approved specifications.

• Plan and Execute Testing: Develop interface test scenarios and coordinate system integration testing (SIT), user acceptance testing (UAT), end-to-end testing, regression testing, and production verification.

• Validate Data Exchanges: Assess inbound and outbound transactions for completeness, accuracy, transformation integrity, and reconciliation; investigate inconsistencies and coordinate corrective actions.

• Maintain Secure Connectivity: Support SFTP workflows, encryption and decryption processes, access permissions, transfer schedules, network connectivity, and secure file‑exchange operations.

• Troubleshoot Integration Issues: Investigate API failures, rejected transactions, file‑transfer errors, connectivity disruptions, and production incidents using logs, monitoring tools, and transaction-level analysis.

• Manage End-to-End Delivery: Coordinate assigned interfaces across requirements, design, development, deployment, cutover, production validation, documentation, and post-implementation support.

Additional Information

• Work Location: Quincy, Massachusetts.

• Work Arrangement: Hybrid, combining on‑site and remote work according to operational requirements.

• Standard Schedule: Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; schedules may change based on business needs.

• Technical Environment: Healthcare integration platforms, REST and SOAP services, FHIR, HL7, XML, JSON, EDI/X12, SFTP, SQL, and cloud-hosted applications, including AWS and Microsoft Azure.

• Preferred Tools and Technologies: Splunk, Datadog, Dynatrace, API monitoring platforms, middleware diagnostics, Unix/Linux environments, and Agile/Scrum delivery practices.

• Education: A bachelor's degree or higher in information technology, business, healthcare administration, or a related discipline is preferred. Equivalent professional experience may be considered.

• Additional Strengths: Experience with Medicaid systems, healthcare interoperability standards, stakeholder reporting, and explaining technical issues to nontechnical audiences will be advantageous.

Candidates with strong integration expertise, a commitment to data quality, and the ability to take ownership of complex healthcare interfaces are encouraged to apply.
