Job Description
We want to make a difference – are you in? We ensure that over 80 million people in Germany benefit from digital healthcare. You may already know some of our products, such as the ePrescription or the electronic patient record (ePA). Shape the healthcare system of tomorrow with us.
Your field of work: 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 solution architecture of services and applications for the German healthcare system. Our goal is to make complex technologies easy to use for patients and doctors.
Our tasks range from overarching architectural topics for large distributed systems to expertise in specific technologies as well as methodology and quality assurance of technical concepts. Our applications include the electronic patient record, the ePrescription, the secure communication service KIM, the TI Messenger, and also the German Electronic Reporting and Information System for Infection Protection DEMIS. Throughout the entire development, we are in constant exchange with the user community.
Specifically, you will be responsible for the conception and further development of the secure communication service KIM (Communication in Medical Care), which is now widely used in medical care – for example, for electronic certificates of incapacity to work. You actively accompany all phases from architecture and standardization to development and rollout.
Your Tasks
- You work in an agile and interdisciplinary team on the architecture of the secure email service KIM, which securely connects doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and health insurance companies and forms the communication backbone for many specialized procedures such as the electronic certificate of incapacity to work.
- 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 are in direct contact with manufacturers of KIM components and operators of KIM services and support them through various collaboration formats, such as regular office hours, connectathons, or by answering 3rd level support tickets.
- You evaluate and assess new technologies, model new interfaces for the exchange of medical data, and create proof of concepts, demonstrators, and prototypes.
- You support suppliers in testing within the framework of the approval process.
Your Profile
- You have successfully completed your technical-scientific studies.
- You have several years of professional experience in the conception, development, and handling in the field of secure communications. Additionally, you have experience with agile work according to SCRUM. You have excellent knowledge in modeling and updating technical solution and security architectures as well as in implementing data protection requirements. Experience with operational requirements would also be beneficial.
- You have a strong understanding of software architecture, system integration, and API design. You have broad knowledge of communication protocols (POP3, IMAP, SMTP), RESTful APIs, TLS, X509 certificates, S/MIME, and identity services based on OpenID Connect and OAuth2. Knowledge of FHIR would be an advantage.
- You excel with your structured approach, very good conceptual skills, and find creative solutions that are sustainable in quality and duration.
- As a communicative personality, you enjoy engaging 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 in spoken and written form.
