📋 Description

• Lead design and implementation of the CDS Hooks platform, including card orchestration, hook context handling, EHR-side logic orchestration, and integration with downstream data services • Own CDS Hook API contracts and evolution, ensuring compliance with SMART CDS Hooks specification while adding performance, reliability, and healthcare-specific optimizations • Lead technical integration with EMR systems (Epic, NextGen, Athena, ECW) for CDS Hook discovery, execution, card rendering, and user action handling • Design, build, and maintain public-facing REST and event-driven APIs exposing clinical data, quality metrics, care gaps, attribution data, and decision support content to partners and provider-facing applications • Establish API contracts, versioning strategies, and deprecation policies that balance innovation with stability for external consumers • Implement and maintain API security patterns including OAuth 2.0, scope-based authorization, rate limiting, and audit logging for compliant clinical data access • Design and optimize real-time or near-real-time data pipelines feeding CDS Hooks and APIs—ensuring low latency, high freshness, and graceful failure modes • Design and implement comprehensive testing and QA frameworks for CDS Hooks and APIs — including hook context validation, card rendering verification, and clinical workflow testing across EMR systems • Establish reliability metrics and SLAs (latency, availability, freshness) for CDS Hook delivery and API performance; measure and track against clinical requirements • Define and measure clinical impact metrics — adoption of CDS Hooks, clinician interaction rates, workflow integration success, and patient outcome influence • Exercise architectural judgment across tradeoffs in correctness, latency, scalability, maintainability, and operational risk in clinical data systems • Design and implement reliability patterns for CDS and API services including monitoring, alerting, failure detection, graceful degradation, and incident recovery • Partner with Data Reliability Engineer to define and operate SLAs for CDS Hook delivery, API response times, and data freshness aligned to clinical needs • Establish and uphold engineering standards for API design, data schemas, integration patterns, and interoperability; maintain high-quality technical documentation and OpenAPI specifications • Partner with Data Engineering to align upstream data models, gold-layer datasets, and platform capabilities with clinical decision support and API requirements • Serve as the technical authority on clinical interoperability standards (SMART CDS Hooks, FHIR, HL7, CDS Hooks, EHR integration patterns) • Collaborate with Product, Clinical Operations, and Business stakeholders to clarify requirements, translate clinical workflows into platform features, and shape product direction • Act as trusted technical advisor to EMR partners, healthcare systems, and external API consumers; ensure expectations and delivery are well-defined and predictable • Ensure all CDS and API services comply with healthcare security, privacy, and regulatory requirements (HIPAA, state regulations, payer mandates) • Partner with IT Security and Compliance teams to implement secure access controls, audit logging, encryption, and data protection measures across delivery mechanisms • Design and implement audit trails for all clinical data access; support compliance audits and regulatory reporting • Mentor team members through design reviews, pairing, and architectural guidance on clinical data integration and API design • Document new and existing systems, designs, processes, and procedures

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of experience designing, building, and operating API platforms, service-oriented systems, or backend infrastructure at scale • Demonstrated experience operating at a senior or staff-level individual contributor scope, owning complex systems end-to-end • 3+ years of direct experience with healthcare data integrations, EMR workflows, clinical data exchange, or healthcare interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7, CDA, claims data) • 2+ years of hands-on experience with CDS Hooks, SMART on FHIR, or similar clinical decision support APIs • Strong experience designing and operating REST APIs, including contract design, versioning, error handling, and authentication/authorization patterns • Deep understanding of healthcare data integrations, EMR workflows, and interoperability patterns (FHIR, HL7, CDS Hooks, SMART on FHIR) • Expertise in designing for reliability, SLAs, and operational metrics; ability to translate clinical requirements into technical SLOs • Experience defining and measuring API performance metrics (latency, availability, error rates); familiarity with SLA monitoring and enforcement • Strong systems thinking with ability to design for scale, reliability, maintainability, and resilience • Proficiency in modern backend languages (Python, Java, Go, or similar); comfort reading and reviewing code across languages • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Databricks, GCP) and containerized services (Docker, Kubernetes, or managed services) • Proven ability to partner effectively across engineering, product, analytics, clinical operations, and business teams • Clear written and verbal communication skills, particularly for explaining technical concepts and tradeoffs to clinicians and non-specialists • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment with healthcare compliance and regulatory constraints.
