Requirements

Integration & Clinical Systems Expertise
Experience & Scale: 6–10+ years of professional experience integrating medical imaging systems in clinical production environments.
PACS/Cloud Integration: Strong experience integrating PACS/DICOM systems with cloud-hosted services (AWS preferred), utilizing secure transfer patterns (DICOMweb, presigned URLs, private networking/VPN).
DICOM Protocol Mastery: Strong hands-on DICOM knowledge (C-STORE, C-FIND, C-MOVE) and expert-level troubleshooting capabilities.
On-Prem Edge: Experience deploying and managing on-prem "edge" components (VM/appliance deployment, outbound-only connectivity).
Data Reliability & Standards
Ingestion Reliability: Ability to design and implement reliable ingestion and write-back paths (including acks, retries, queueing, and replay mechanisms).
DICOM Structure: Understanding of core DICOM identifiers (Study/Series/SOP UIDs) and spatial concepts (Frame of Reference, overlay alignment basics).
Toolkits: Comfortable working with common imaging toolkits (dcm4che, Orthanc, pydicom, fo-dicom, etc.).
Security & Operations
PHI Security: Proven ability for secure handling of PHI (minimization, encryption, retention/deletion practices).
Operational Mindset: Strong operational mindset focused on providing site support readiness via logs, metrics, and trace IDs.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or other advanced technical degree preferred.

Nice To Haves

IHE profiles (e.g., Invoke Image Display) and enterprise imaging integrations.
Familiarity with DICOM-SR/SEG/PR content and validation tooling.
Familiarity with HIPAA/HITRUST security requirements.
Experience with imaging workflows.

Responsibilities

Imaging Integration & Data Movement
Own Data Connectivity: Implement and own the core data movement patterns that connect hospital PACS/VNAs, 3rd party applications, and external AI endpoints to our platform Hub.
Deliver Robust Ingest/Write-back: Deliver robust ingest and write-back paths, specifically including DICOMweb, proxying/presigned access, site networking playbooks, and edge connector patterns for legacy/on-prem vendors. This ensures predictable and supportable deployments.
Engineering Excellence
Full Cycle Participation: Participate actively in the full software development life cycle (SDLC) from requirements analysis through testing, release, and maintenance.
Drive Code Quality: Perform rigorous code reviews, ensure excellent unit test coverage, and actively drive bug triage and resolution.
Design & Document Solutions: Design, document, and demonstrate technical solutions by creating necessary flowcharts, layouts, diagrams, and clear code comments.
Platform and Observability
Development Contribution: Participate in developing and maintaining the necessary APIs, integrations, and libraries that support the platform.
Implement Observability: Integrate logging, metrics, and tracing tools to effectively meet and maintain the platform's observability goals.
