Job Description
We want to make a difference – are you in? We ensure that over 80 million people in Germany can benefit from digital healthcare. You might already know some of our products such as the ePrescription or the electronic patient record (ePA). Join us in shaping the health system of tomorrow.
Your Area of Work: Systems Engineering
The Systems Engineering department is responsible for the architecture of the technical infrastructure for applications in the German healthcare system. We as architects design the base architecture of the platform for digital applications in the German healthcare system – the telematics infrastructure.
Our tasks range from overarching architecture topics for large distributed systems through expertise in specific technologies to methodology and quality assurance of technical concepts. Our open, secure platform serves as the basis for the electronic patient record, the ePrescription, the secure communication service KIM, the TI Messenger, but also for the German electronic reporting and information system for infection protection DEMIS. Throughout the development, we maintain regular exchange with the user community.
In addition to supporting the already deployed systems based on SOAP, IHE XDS.b, WS-Security, Smartcards, and IPSec, we work 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 base architecture for 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 compliance, and interoperability and support them in implementing the requirements we set.

You bring basic knowledge in cloud infrastructures (e.g. container technologies, microservices) and understand the fundamental principles of distributed systems. In addition, you have a good understanding of security concepts, including TLS, PKI, and common authentication methods (e.g. OAuth2).
- Work Style: You shine with your structured approach, very good conceptual skills, and find creative solutions that are sustainable and long lasting.
