About The Position

This role supports the delivery of scalable, interoperable healthcare technology that enables timely access to critical clinical data and improves care coordination and patient outcomes. The role applies working knowledge of healthcare interoperability standards such as DICOM and HL7 alongside modern cloud native engineering practices—including microservices, RESTful APIs, and containerized platforms built with JavaScript frameworks and deployed on AWS, Azure, or GCP—to deliver secure, reliable, and scalable systems that healthcare organizations can depend on for high quality patient care.
You’ll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely from anywhere within Canada (except for the Saskatchewan province) as you take on some tough challenges.

• DICOM expertise: Deep mastery of DICOM standards, including image routing, metadata structures, and real world interoperability challenges
• Imaging Systems & Workflows: Solid understanding of PACS/VNA environments and end to end clinical imaging workflows
• Interoperability & Messaging: Hands-on experience with HL7, integration engines (Mirth Connect preferred), and solving complex hospital interface challenges
• Cloud Platforms: Hands on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP (compute, storage, networking, security)
• DICOM Fundamentals: Solid knowledge of DICOM standards, SOP classes, metadata, modalities, and interoperability challenges
• HL7 Fundamentals: Practical experience with HL7 v2 messaging and integration engines (e.g., Mirth Connect)
• Imaging Systems: Solid understanding of PACS, VNA, RIS, and end to end imaging workflows
• Infrastructure: Windows Server, Active Directory, IdP credentialing, virtualization, and network basics

Nice To Haves

• Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Experience with containers (Docker), message queues, Pub/Sub patterns, microservices and CI/CD pipelines
• Experience supporting production healthcare systems under tight SLAs

• Clinical–Technical Translation: Ability to communicate effectively with both developers and clinical stakeholders, translating requirements across domains
• Security & Compliance: Working knowledge of healthcare privacy and security regulations (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.)

Responsibilities

• Lead Cloud PACS implementations from design through go-live and production validation
• Design and support (hybrid) cloud imaging architectures integrating on-prem modalities/PACS with cloud platforms
• Implement and troubleshoot DICOM image workflows (storage, routing, query/retrieve, lifecycle management)
• Design and configure HL7 v2 interfaces (ADT, ORM, ORU) to support patient and order workflows
• Partner with PACS, RIS, EMR, and Imaging teams to optimize clinical and radiology workflows
• Deploy, configure, and support imaging software across cloud infrastructure, virtual machines, and Windows servers
• Monitor, test, and validate system performance, reliability, and interoperability
• Provide golive and L3 production support for missioncritical imaging systems
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to improve platform reliability and integration quality

Benefits

• You’ll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
