  • Experience integrating with EMR/EHR systems and healthcare interoperability standards; practical experience with FHIR APIs required.
  • Knowledge of OAuth2/OIDC and API security patterns (mTLS, JWT, secrets management, least privilege) and secure SDLC practices.
  • Databricks experience (jobs/workflows, notebooks, Delta Lake, data pipelines) and comfort partnering with data teams.
  • Strong written and verbal communication; able to write clear technical designs and present to senior stakeholders.
  • Bachelor’s degree in CS/Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
  • Open-source contributions, patents, publications, or conference presentations are a plus.
