Job Overview
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 be familiar with some of our products, like the ePrescription or the electronic patient record (ePA). Shape the healthcare system of tomorrow with us.
Your Work Area: Systems Engineering
The Systems Engineering department is responsible for the architecture of the technical infrastructure for applications in the German healthcare sector. As architects, we 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 to expertise in specific technologies and 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, as well as the German Electronic Reporting and Information System for Infection Protection DEMIS. Throughout the entire development, we maintain regular exchange with the user community.
In addition to supporting the already rolled-out systems based on SOAP, IHE XDS.b, WS-Security, smart cards, and IPSec, we are 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 base architecture for applications that securely connect 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, standards compliance, 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 proofs of concept, demonstrators, and prototypes.
- You support testing within the approval process.

You possess sound knowledge of basic Internet technologies (e.g., HTTP, DNS, TCP/IP, routing) and modern web APIs (e.g., OpenAPI, REST). You have basic knowledge in the area of cloud infrastructures (e.g., container technologies, microservices) and understand the fundamental principles of distributed systems. Furthermore, you have a good understanding of security concepts, including TLS, PKI, and common authentication procedures (e.g., OAuth2).
- Work Style: You shine with your structured approach, very good conceptual skills, and find creative solutions that are of sustainable quality and duration.
- Personality: As a communicative personality, you like to engage with your curiosity and openness in the team. You are also experimental and always act solution-oriented.
