Healthcare integrations require detailed knowledge of clinical workflows, technical standards, and regulatory compliance. In this senior technical role, you will be hands-on in configuring, scripting, and troubleshooting integrations-primarily using Mirth Connect-while also collaborating with solution architects, clinicians, and operational teams. You will coordinate data flows across a wide range of diagnostic services, ensuring systems interoperate seamlessly to enhance patient outcomes and service efficiency.
Through JavaScript-driven transformations in Mirth Connect, you will enable accurate, timely data sharing throughout our clinical ecosystem. You will also support and guide other engineers on best practices for HL7, DICOM, and potentially FHIR-based workflows. Experience in radiology integrations (e.g. RIS/PACS) is particularly beneficial, though not mandatory
