Principal Health Data Architect

As a Health Data Architect at Oracle, your work will span the worlds of Software Engineering, Data Processing, Data Interpretation and Data Modeling. You will study the data formats used by our customers to share their health-related data. You will partner with multiple stakeholders across the company to interpret and map customer data to industry standard formats such as FHIR. You will work with Software Engineers to define how to efficiently on-board and process large volumes of data from disparate sources spanning a multitude of technology system vendors. You will use your knowledge of evolving customer requirements to help shape the software architecture of the Healthcare Data Analytics platform.  As part of this team, you will accelerate several architectural efforts-achieve orders of magnitude data processing latency improvement, creating comprehensive patient health records that can scale to entire populations of nations, creating a health data lake at massive scale to enable a host of intelligent health services. The Health Data Analytics platform will have global reach, requiring engineering advancements to support varying data laws and regulations, data formats and content required by our customers.

The Health Data Architect role is not a traditional software engineering role. We are looking for individuals who have experience working within software engineering, but also have strong experience working with healthcare data and system interoperability standards (HL7 FHIR, HL7 v2/v3, etc.).  Knowledge of government rules, regulations and constraints affecting the healthcare environment is desirable. The ideal candidate should have extensive experience working on interfacing different healthcare systems, understanding of the evolving architecture of large scale health data infrastructures and data formats, knowledge of the ongoing projects in healthcare-focused standards bodies, and deep experience with the standard and non-standard data formats in common use in the larger healthcare industry.
