(Senior) Architect eHealth Platform (all genders)
We want to make a difference – will you join us? We ensure that over 80 million people in Germany benefit from digital healthcare. You might already know some of our products like ePrescription or the electronic patient record (ePA). Help us shape the healthcare system of tomorrow.
Your work area: Systems Engineering
The Systems Engineering department is responsible for the architecture of the technical infrastructure for applications in German healthcare. As architects, we design the basic architecture of the platform for digital applications in German healthcare – the Telematics Infrastructure.
Our tasks range from overarching architectural topics for large distributed systems to 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, and also for the German Electronic Reporting and Information System for Infection Protection (DEMIS). Throughout development, we stay in close contact with the user community.
In addition to supporting already rolled-out 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.
