AES has helped over 40 business enterprises, including Fortune 500 companies, engage their customers, empower their employees, and transform their business operations with the power of cloud, data, AI, and other emerging technologies.

About the Role:

We are looking for a hands-on Healthcare Integration Architect to lead the design, development, and implementation of integrated technology solutions across the healthcare payer ecosystem. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of architecture and execution - someone who can shape technical direction while actively building and integrating systems that drive real impact in care management and population health.

You'll play a key role in enabling end-to-end interoperability, driving data integration across clinical, claims, and social datasets, and building the infrastructure that supports member engagement, risk insights, and value-based care delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

Design and implement robust integration solutions between payer care management platforms, PHM tools, EHRs, and enterprise data systems.
Build scalable data pipelines and services that enable real-time and batch data exchange across internal and external healthcare systems.
Work directly with engineering teams to develop and deploy FHIR/HL7 interfaces, APIs, and secure data workflows supporting care coordination and quality initiatives.
Integrate data from diverse sources (clinical, claims, SDoH) to support risk stratification, utilization management, and member outreach.
Collaborate with stakeholders to understand clinical and operational requirements, translating them into technical designs and working code.
Ensure all implementations meet regulatory and security requirements (e.g., HIPAA, CMS), as well as interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7, CCD).
Provide architectural input on system scalability, resiliency, and performance - and help guide continuous improvement across platforms.
Participate in platform selection, proof-of-concepts, and vendor integrations as needed.

Qualifications:

10+ years of experience in healthcare software engineering, integration development, or data architecture, with a strong track record of hands-on implementation.
Deep understanding of payer systems such as care management, utilization review, and population health platforms.
Proficiency in healthcare data standards (FHIR, HL7, X12, CCD) and integration frameworks (e.g., Mirth Connect, APIs, ETL tools).
Strong skills in scripting or development languages (e.g., Python, Java, SQL) and working knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Experience integrating with common PHM tools (e.g., Innovaccer, Arcadia, Epic Healthy Planet) or building custom data pipelines across systems.
Ability to work cross-functionally with data, clinical, and engineering teams to deliver end-to-end technical solutions.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Health Informatics, or a related field.
