About the role

Director responsible for leading the integration engineering function and owning production EHR connectivity, ensuring timely, scalable, and reliable integrations with Epic, Cerner, and athenahealth across US and India teams.

Responsibilities

  • Own the production integration and development shop for Hippocratic AI’s EHR connectivity, covering Epic (Interconnect, Bridges, App Orchard/Vendor Services APIs), Cerner (Oracle Health), and athenahealth, plus HL7 v2 interface feeds and flat file exchanges with partner health systems.
  • Set technical direction and delivery standards for the integration team, balancing new partner go-lives against the stability of integrations already in production.
  • Lead and grow a distributed engineering team spanning the US and India, including hiring, performance management, on-call rotation design, and day-to-day prioritization across time zones.
  • Establish engineering practices for code review, branching strategy, release cadence, and incident response, using GitHub and Jira as the backbone for source control, change tracking, and work management.
  • Set standards for the team’s engineering toolkit (Python-based data transformation, integration engines such as InterSystems IRIS and Redox, and CI/CD pipelines) and make the build-vs-buy calls on when to use each.
  • Partner with Product and Partnerships to scope new integration work, size effort accurately, and commit to go-live timelines the team can hit.
  • Maintain deep technical fluency in Epic, Cerner, and athenahealth integrations and guide HL7 v2, flat file, and API-based approaches as partnerships grow.
  • Direct architecture decisions for HL7 v2 messaging, flat file interfaces, and modern API-based integrations (FHIR/REST).
  • Guide the team’s use of integration engines and FHIR bulk data workflows, pushing toward reusable components and templates.
  • Ensure production interfaces have monitoring, alerting, and escalation paths, driving root-cause fixes.
  • Maintain a current map of live integrations, data flows, and dependencies for rapid impact assessment.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Health Informatics, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8+ years in healthcare integration engineering, with hands-on Epic integration experience required; Cerner and/or athenahealth experience strongly preferred.
  • 3+ years managing a production integration and/or software development team, including on-call ownership for live interfaces.
  • Deep knowledge of HL7 v2, flat file interfaces, and API-based integration patterns (REST, FHIR), with working knowledge of X12 transactions.
  • Proven experience with GitHub and Jira for delivery and release management.
  • Experience managing engineers across distributed, multi-time-zone teams (US and India).
  • Track record of delivering health system integrations on schedule and in production, including incident response and root-cause resolution.
  • Working knowledge of Python and at least one integration engine (InterSystems IRIS).
  • Comfort working with internal teams, partner IT, interface, and clinical informatics teams during scoping, build, and go-live.
