intelliasDenver, CO
About the role
We are looking for a Senior Interoperability Engineer to build and scale healthcare integrations for a Digital Health platform connecting providers, payers, clinical systems, and external healthcare networks. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on Python, Kafka, high-scale APIs, healthcare interoperability, and secure data exchange. The platform connects healthcare data from multiple clinical and administrative systems and makes it available through secure, standards-based APIs. The Interoperability domain is responsible for building and operating integrations with external healthcare systems, processing high-volume data exchange, and providing reliable APIs consumed by internal products and partners. The engineering environment is based on Python, event-driven architecture, Kafka, REST/FHIR APIs, OAuth-based security, and cloud-native services.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional backend or integration engineering experience.* Strong hands-on experience with Python in production environments.* Experience designing and operating high-scale REST APIs and backend services.* Strong experience with Kafka or comparable event-streaming technologies.* Solid understanding of distributed and event-driven architectures.* Strong experience with API authentication and authorization, including OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and JWT.* Experience integrating external systems and APIs in complex enterprise environments.* Hands-on experience with FHIR or healthcare interoperability APIs.* Strong understanding of API reliability, error handling, retries, idempotency, and observability.* Experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases.* Experience with Docker, cloud-native environments, and CI/CD.* Strong troubleshooting and production problem-solving skills.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with FHIR R4, SMART on FHIR, US Core, or USCDI.* Knowledge of HL7 v2 or CDA/C-CDA.* Experience integrating EHR/EMR, payer, HIE/HIN, pharmacy, or laboratory systems.* Experience with Patient Access APIs, Bulk FHIR, or CMS interoperability requirements.* Experience with Kubernetes and AWS.* Healthcare or Digital Health domain experience.* Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools in day-to-day software development.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop scalable healthcare interoperability services and APIs.* Build event-driven integrations using Python and Kafka.* Implement and support FHIR-based healthcare data exchange.* Develop secure APIs using OAuth 2.0/OIDC and JWT.* Integrate external healthcare systems, data providers, and partner APIs.* Implement data validation, transformation, mapping, and error-handling logic required for interoperability workflows.* Troubleshoot complex integration, authentication, and distributed-system issues.* Improve API performance, scalability, reliability, and observability.* Build automated tests covering API behavior and integration scenarios.* Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and engineering standards. Build core interoperability capabilities for a large-scale Digital Health platform. You’ll work on high-volume healthcare integrations, secure APIs, Kafka-based event processing, and FHIR interoperability rather than traditional ETL or analytics pipelines.
