This role requires a deep understanding of healthcare integration engineering, experience managing distributed teams, and a passion for improving healthcare through technology.

Lead the team responsible for building and operating technical connections between Hippocratic AI and various EHR and health system environments.

Responsibilities

• Own the production integration and development shop end to end, including architecture, delivery, on-call reliability, and engineering practices.
• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Partnerships, and partner-side IT teams to scope new integrations, keep existing ones healthy, and build a scalable team and process.
• Track record of taking health system integrations live on schedule and keeping them stable in production, including incident response and root-cause resolution
• Deep, working knowledge of HL7 v2 messaging, flat file interface design, and modern API-based integration patterns (REST, FHIR), along with working knowledge of X12 transactions, across EHR ecosystems
• 3+ years managing a production integration and/or software development team, including on-call ownership for live interfaces
• Proven experience running engineering delivery with GitHub (source control, code review, branching strategy) and Jira (sprint planning, issue tracking, release management)
• Direct experience with Epic’s Show Room, App Orchard/Vendor Services API catalog
• Experience with Cerner Millennium interfaces or athenahealth’s API/partner integration program specifically, not just Epic

Requirements

• Comfort working directly with internal teams as well as partner IT, interface, and clinical informatics teams during scoping, build, and go-live
• Experience managing engineers across distributed, multi-time-zone teams, including the US and India
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Health Informatics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Working knowledge of Python-based development and at least one integration engine (InterSystems IRIS), sufficient to review architecture and unblock the team on technical decisions
• 8+ years in healthcare integration engineering, with hands-on experience integrating against Epic (required); Cerner (Oracle Health) and/or athenahealth experience strongly preferred
• Background standing up or scaling an integration engineering function inside a high-growth health tech or digital health company

Preferred

• Familiarity with scheduling APIs, patient engagement platforms, or voice/AI agent architectures in a clinical setting
• Experience with infrastructure and vendor relationships supporting integrations (e.g., telephony, cloud infrastructure, data exchange platforms)
• Experience with CI/CD, containerization (Docker), or cloud-based deployment pipelines for integration workloads
• Advanced degree in a technical or health informatics field
• Background in AI/ML data pipelines or healthcare analytics
