Integrations Engineer

Who are you?

We’re looking for a hands-on Integrations Engineer to design, support, and evolve the interfaces that connect DrDoctor with NHS and private healthcare systems.

This is a mid-level role where you’ll be responsible for both delivery and support: building new integrations, monitoring live ones, and making sure everything runs smoothly and reliably. You’ll work in Agile sprints, collaborating closely with product, delivery, and support teams, and will have plenty of opportunities to bring ideas that make our integrations more resilient, automated, and scalable.

You’ll work daily with HL7 and FHIR standards, using JavaScript and SQL for transformations and validation. Experience with at least one integration engine (such as Mirth Connect, Rhapsody, Ensemble, Cloverleaf, or similar) is essential.

OK, that’s me, but who are DrDoctor?

Take a look at our careers page (https://drdoctor.teamtailor.com/) to find out a bit more about our mission, vision, and impact!

But ultimately, we the NHS and want to help it work better. We radically transform the delivery of health services to make healthcare work for everyone – for patients, doctors, administrative teams and taxpayers. 

What would I be doing day to day?

One of the great things about a scale-up is that every day is different and there is always an opportunity to get involved in something outside of your ‘BAU’!

However, the key things you could expect would include:

• Design, build and support integrations between DrDoctor and client systems (PAS, EPR, APIs)


• Work with HL7 (ADT, ORU, SIU, MDM, etc.) and FHIR R4 APIs, developing robust transformations and mappings


• Develop message transformations and handling logic using JavaScript


• Participate in Agile sprint planning, define and deliver user stories, and collaborate through retros and demos


• Support live integrations: monitor, troubleshoot, replay messages, and resolve incidents


• Implement automated testing, monitoring, and alerting for integration reliability


• Contribute to our CI/CD pipelines, ensuring smooth deployments and repeatable processes.


• Communicate clearly with clients and internal teams, translating technical detail into language others can understand.

OK, I’m interested. What experience do I need to have?

We don’t expect you to know everything on day one, but you’ll already have strong foundations and be eager to grow.

• Proficiency with HL7 and FHIR APIs


• Proficiency with JavaScript for integration/transformation logic


• Hands-on experience with at least one integration engine


• Comfortable working with SQL for investigations and debugging


• Familiar with CI/CD pipelines and modern engineering practices


• Understanding of healthcare integration challenges (identifiers, data mapping, code translations, firewalls, compliance)


• Experience with test automation (e.g. JMeter)


• Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders

Bonus points for:

• Experience with Mirth Connect.


• Previous work in the NHS or HealthTech space


• Knowledge of PAS/EPR systems (Cerner, EPIC, System-C, Lorenzo, etc.) and their APIs.


• Familiarity with additional standards (DICOM, IHE, CCD/CCDA) or protocols (SOAP, REST, TCP/MLLP, HTTPS, TLS, certificates)


• Exposure to cloud environments (e.g. Microsoft Azure)


• Experience in incident response, monitoring, or resilience engineering

We know from research and experience that candidates may not apply if they don’t think they meet 100% of our requirements. If you don’t tick all the boxes but feel you would be a good fit, we would still love to hear from you. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture!
 

We are perfect for each other, what are the next steps?

We are currently recruiting heavily and have a lot of CVs to go through. However, we don’t wait for roles to close before going through your CV. We will be in touch in a few days to let you know if we think we might be a match, and if we are not. Unfortunately, because we get so many CV’s we are not able to send a personalised reply if it’s not a match. However, if you want more details as to why, just drop us a note and we will arrange to get some feedback over to you.

If it’s a match, then we will arrange a time to talk to you on a quick 30 minute call. It’s just an informal chat so you can relax! We will tell you more about the role, the team and why you should want to join us.

If we continue, then we will invite you to meet some of the team, most likely virtually. Some our roles will also be subject to completing an assessment or a role related exercise.

We get there are a lot of great roles out there, so we will make sure to get through the rounds as quickly as possible. All we ask is you keep us up to date with your plans.

I can’t wait to get started, what are the perks?

An awesome team and mission? Oh, you want more?

We keep all of our Perks and Benefits updated on our careers page https://drdoctor.teamtailor.com/ – we like to think there is something for everyone! Let us know if you have any questions regarding them.

As DrDoctor has grown, we are seeing more of our people wanting to socialise in different ways.

Whilst we know that some of us love to go to the pub, we want to make sure we are including a wide variety of activities and events for our teams to enjoy each other's company, we aim to continue creating an open space for anyone and everyone to suggest how they’d like to spend time with their teams.

We love a Summer and Christmas party and regular company/team socials and away days. In the past year or so, we have enjoyed AI Games, Agile Games, Terrarium Making, Wreath Making to name a few. We hold held various events for celebrations such as Holi Festival, International Women’s Day, Pancake Day and Pride celebrations and our Birthday!
