Job Overview
We want to make a difference – are you in? We ensure that over 80 million people in Germany benefit from digital healthcare. You might already know 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 system. As architects, we design the base architecture of the platform for digital health applications in Germany – the telematics infrastructure.
Our tasks range from overarching architecture topics for large distributed systems to expertise in specific technologies, as well as methodology and quality assurance of technical concepts. Our open, secure platform serves as the basis for the electronic patient record, ePrescription, the secure communication service KIM, the TI Messenger, and the German Electronic Reporting and Information System for Infection Protection (DEMIS). Throughout development, we maintain active communication with the user community.
In addition to managing already deployed systems based on SOAP, IHE XDS.b, WS-Security, smart cards, and IPSec, we work on new solutions based on REST, HL7 FHIR, OpenID Connect, OAuth2, FIDO2, remote signatures, secure private cloud, and zero-trust networking.
Your Tasks
- You work in an agile and interdisciplinary team on the basic 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 evaluate and assess new technologies, model new interfaces for exchanging medical data, and create proofs of concept, demonstrators, and prototypes.
- You support testing as part of the approval process.
Your Profile
- Degree: You have successfully completed your technical or scientific studies.
- Experience: You have several years of professional experience in the conception, development, and handling of distributed safety-critical systems. You have excellent skills in modeling and updating technical solution and security architectures, as well as in implementing data protection requirements. You have experience with agile working according to SCRUM.
- Tool & Method Knowledge: You have a strong understanding of software architecture, system integration, and API design. You possess sound knowledge of fundamental internet technologies (e.g., HTTP, DNS, TCP/IP, Routing) and modern web APIs (e.g., OpenAPI, REST). You bring basic knowledge in cloud infrastructures (e.g., container technologies, microservices) and understand the fundamental principles of distributed systems. Additionally, you have good knowledge of security concepts, including TLS, PKI, and common authentication methods (e.g., OAuth2).
- Working Style: You excel with your structured approach, very good conceptual skills, and find creative solutions that are sustainable and long-lasting quality.
- Personality: As a communicative personality, you enjoy engaging in the team with your curiosity and openness. You are also experimental and always act solution-oriented.
