Job Overview

We want to make a difference – are you in? We ensure that over 80 million people in Germany benefit from digital healthcare services. You might already know some of our products, like the e-prescription or the electronic patient record (ePA). Help us shape the healthcare system of tomorrow.

Your Work Area: Systems Engineering

The Systems Engineering division is responsible for the architecture of the technical infrastructure for applications in the German healthcare system. As architects, we design the solution architecture for services and applications in the German healthcare system. Our goal is to make complex technologies easily usable for patients and doctors.
Our tasks range from overarching architecture topics for large distributed systems and expertise in specific technologies to methodology and quality assurance of technical concepts. Our applications include the electronic patient record, e-prescription, secure communication service KIM, TI messenger, and the German electronic reporting and information system for infection control DEMIS. Throughout development, we maintain close communication with the user community.
In addition to supporting the already deployed systems based on SOAP, IHE XDS.b, WS-Security, smart cards, and IPsec, we are also working on new solutions based on REST, HL7 FHIR, OpenID Connect and OAuth2, FIDO2, remote signatures, secure private cloud, and zero trust networking.

Your Tasks

  • You work in an agile and interdisciplinary team on the architecture of applications that securely network doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and patients.
  • You define minimum requirements and interfaces and ensure uniform security and interoperability levels.
  • You advise internal and external development teams on design decisions, standard conformity, and interoperability and support them in implementing the requirements we set.
  • You evaluate and assess new technologies, model new interfaces for exchanging medical data, and create proof of concepts, demonstrators, and prototypes.
  • You support testing within the approval process.

Your Profile

  • You have successfully completed a technical-scientific degree.
  • You have several years of professional experience in design, development, and handling of distributed safety-critical systems.
  • You are experienced in modeling and further developing technical solution and security architectures as well as implementing data protection requirements. You have a pronounced understanding of software architecture, system integration, and API design. You have experience working agile according to SCRUM and broad knowledge of web technologies like REST. Knowledge of HL7 FHIR is a plus.
  • You excel with your structured approach, conceptual skills, and finding creative solutions of sustainable quality and durability.
  • As a communicative personality, you engage in the team with your curiosity and openness. You are also experimental and always act solution-oriented.
  • You have very good German and English skills, both spoken and written.
If you do not meet all requirements? No problem, apply anyway! We review every application individually and look forward to getting to know your unique skills and experiences.

  • A meaningful job: We are updating the healthcare system – think digital health with us.
  • Perspective & development: We offer you a permanent position with long-term prospects. Not only a secure workplace but also diverse opportunities for personal and professional development through individual training, the "Employees train Employees" program, workshops, trade fairs, and conferences.

  • Benefits: Besides an attractive salary, we offer 30 days of vacation plus additional days off on December 24th and 31st, health and sports offers, a subsidy for the Germany ticket, employee events, corporate benefits, and much more.
  • Mobile working: Mobile working is possible within Germany, as well as up to 30 days of workation in European countries (EU, EEA, Switzerland).
  • Work-life balance: Compatibility of private life and work is important to us, so you shape your working hours flexibly. We are flexible and accommodate your individual needs, including re-entry after parental leave – also part-time if it suits you.
We look forward to you! Diversity makes us strong! Therefore, everyone has equal opportunities with us regardless of gender, disability, age, ethnicity, religion, or if you return after parental leave.
