- Designing and deploying scalable, secure cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code best practices
- Ensuring strict compliance with healthcare data regulations (HIPAA, HITRUST) and implementing data security best practices
- Developing direct, bi-directional integrations with electronic medical record platforms
You are a curious and eager problem solver with a passion for building well-designed, high-quality solutions. You strive to produce simple solutions to complex problems and engage in constructive dialogue to find the best path forward.
Requirements:
- Deep, hands-on experience working with healthcare data, including healthcare data standards and common data models such as TUVA, OMOP, or FHIR
