• Design, develop, and maintain platform services and integration capabilities that enable the secure and efficient exchange of healthcare data between systems and applications.


• Collaborate with engineering, product, design, architecture, and other partner teams to clarify requirements, review technical specifications, and develop maintainable solutions.


• Build robust and scalable services using one or more languages and frameworks such as Java, TypeScript, Go, or .NET while maintaining appropriate standards for data integrity, security, reliability, and healthcare compliance.


• Develop and maintain applications and shared user-interface capabilities using React/Next.js to provide reliable, fluent user interfaces for healthcare professionals and patients.


• Build and maintain integrations with healthcare systems, APIs, and data sources, applying reusable patterns where appropriate to promote consistency and reduce bespoke implementations.


• Partner with cloud architects and platform engineers to deploy and operate healthcare solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using established cloud and infrastructure patterns.


• Use established DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling to automate delivery and ensure high availability and performance of healthcare applications.


• Collaborate with data engineers to provide platform capabilities that support the secure movement, validation, monitoring, and use of healthcare data.


• Stay informed about technologies and practices relevant to platform engineering, healthcare interoperability, frontend development, and cloud operations, and contribute to the team’s evaluation of their practical value.


• Work with product, solutions, and implementation teams to identify recurring application and integration needs and translate them into reusable platform tools, patterns, and documentation.


• Partners with the solutions and implementation/support team to design, develop and deploy management and support tooling for all aspects of the platform’s operations. This may include things like quality monitoring tools, system action audit logs, and application telemetry.


• Contribute to meeting established service-level objectives and agreements by implementing monitoring, alerting, reliability improvements, and follow-up actions for services owned by the team.


• Contribute to the execution of the Mayo Clinic Platform technical roadmap and provide technical input based on implementation experience, operational learning, and the needs of teams using the platform


• Collaborate with product partners to follow established Software Development Life Cycle and Product Development Life Cycle processes, helping keep technical delivery aligned with product goals and organizational requirements.
