WellBeam - Integrations Architect / Tech Lead
Requirements
• 8+ years of software engineering, solutions architecture, or healthcare interoperability experience. • 5+ years designing and delivering enterprise healthcare integrations. • Deep expertise with: • Flat-file integrations • Experience integrating with enterprise EMRs such as: • Oracle Health (Cerner) • or similar healthcare platforms. • Strong understanding of healthcare data mapping, transformation, validation, patient identity matching, and interoperability workflows. • Experience designing scalable distributed systems and API architectures. • Strong understanding of cloud-native application architecture (AWS preferred). • Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives without direct management authority. • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. • Comfortable operating in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments. • Preferred • Preferred • Experience building interoperability platforms rather than only customer-specific integrations. • Experience with event-driven architectures and asynchronous messaging systems. • Familiarity with Mirth Connect (NextGen Connect), Rhapsody, Cloverleaf, or similar integration engines. • Experience with OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and healthcare identity management. • Direct Secure Messaging • Experience working with health systems, home health, hospice, or care coordination organizations. • Hands-on software development experience with modern programming languages. • Experience reviewing architecture and mentoring senior engineers. • The Type of Person You Are • You naturally think in systems rather than individual projects. • You enjoy solving difficult technical problems and designing elegant, scalable solutions. • You balance pragmatism with long-term architectural thinking. • You thrive in ambiguity and bring structure to complex technical challenges. • You influence through technical expertise, collaboration, and credibility rather than organizational authority. • You enjoy mentoring engineers and elevating the technical capabilities of those around you. • You are equally comfortable whiteboarding with a CIO, debugging an HL7 message, reviewing an API design, or coaching an engineering team through a complex architecture decision. • You continuously look for opportunities to transform one-off customer work into reusable platform capabilities.
Responsibilities
• Integration Platform Architecture • Own the technical architecture of WellBeam’s interoperability platform. • Define architectural standards and best practices for healthcare interoperability. • Design scalable integration patterns across: • Flat-file exchanges • Event-driven integrations • Etc. (Any other standards) • Define standards for: • Identity management • Patient matching • Conduct architecture reviews for major engineering initiatives and customer implementations. • Identify opportunities to convert customer-specific solutions into reusable platform capabilities. • Customer Solution Architecture • Lead technical discovery workshops with health systems and post-acute providers. • Serve as WellBeam’s principal technical advisor during customer engagements. • Design scalable integration architectures that balance customer requirements with long-term platform strategy. • Produce technical solution designs, architecture diagrams, implementation strategies, and technical recommendations. • Partner with Delivery during pre-sales, implementation planning, and complex customer engagements. • Review Statements of Work from a technical architecture perspective. • Identify implementation risks and recommend mitigation strategies. • Cross-Functional Technical Leadership • Serve as the healthcare interoperability Subject Matter Expert (SME) across the organization. • Support multiple Product Managers with technical feasibility assessments and architectural guidance. • Partner with Engineering teams to solve complex interoperability challenges. • Mentor engineers on healthcare integration best practices and architectural patterns. • Lead technical design reviews across squads. • Influence engineering direction without direct management responsibility. • Healthcare Interoperability Strategy • Drive WellBeam’s technical interoperability strategy. • Stay current with industry standards including: • Direct Secure Messaging • Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend strategic investments. • Build relationships with interoperability partners, EMR vendors, and industry organizations. • Delivery & Implementation Partnership • Support Delivery and Customer Success with technically complex customer requests. • Evaluate implementation feasibility and long-term architectural implications. • Recommend when customer requests should be addressed through: • Existing platform capabilities • New reusable platform features • Customer-specific implementation • Partner with Engineering to resolve complex implementation and production issues. • Participate in critical customer escalations requiring deep technical expertise. • Platform Engineering & Continuous Improvement • Drive standardization across customer implementations. • Reduce implementation effort through reusable frameworks, tooling, automation, and platform enhancements. • Identify recurring implementation challenges and convert them into engineering improvements. • Improve observability, diagnostics, and operational support for integration workflows. • Champion “build once, deploy many” engineering principles. • Documentation & Technical Standards • Own and maintain technical documentation including: • Reference architectures • Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) • Integration standards • API design guidelines • Implementation patterns • Customer integration guides • Internal engineering documentation • Best practice playbooks • What Success Looks Like • Established a clear architectural vision for WellBeam’s interoperability platform. • Reduced custom implementation effort through reusable integration capabilities. • Standardized integration patterns across engineering squads. • Improved implementation predictability through architecture and technical governance. • Built trusted relationships with Product, Engineering, Delivery, and customer technical teams. • Increased reuse of platform capabilities across customer implementations. • Reduced production integration issues through improved architecture and engineering standards. • Positioned WellBeam to rapidly onboard new health systems and post-acute partners with minimal custom engineering.
