• Lead FHIR, SMART on FHIR, and CDS Hooks integrations with VA EHR systems including VistA/CPRS and Oracle Health
• Define and drive system architecture and microservices approach across a polyglot backend environment including Kotlin, Python, and Spring Boot

• Hands-on FHIR and API integration experience in complex, integration-heavy environments
• Experience integrating with VA EHR systems such as VistA/CPRS or Oracle Health strongly preferred

• Proficiency with AWS, Kubernetes, and Docker
• Experience with Terraform and Helm is a plus
• Familiarity with VA IAM, EntraID, or Okta is a plus
• A natural leader who earns trust through technical credibility, not just title
• Thrives in a remote, collaborative Agile environment and genuinely enjoys mentoring engineers and building team culture
