Director, Partner Integration

Transform healthcare with us.

Qualified Health is seeking a Director of Partner Integration to own the entire data relationship with some of the most prestigious health systems in the country. As a Director of Partner Integration, you run your own pod: a small, elite team of Senior Data Engineers who build, validate, and operate the data infrastructure that powers AI-driven clinical and operational workflows. Your pipelines don't just move data — they directly enable AI systems that help clinicians make better decisions for their patients. You'll have a Director title because that's what this work requires: executive-level judgment, client relationship ownership, and technical leadership all in one person.

Key Responsibilities 

• Own the end-to-end data integration for 2-4 health system partners — from initial onboarding through live production operations, with full accountability for delivery timelines and customer satisfaction
• Lead a pod of 2-3 Senior Data Engineers, mentoring them while delivering against tight customer timelines (initial rollout target: <90 days from kickoff)
• Design and build data pipelines that ingest Epic Clarity data, transform it through FHIR standards, and deliver AI-ready datasets via Delta Lake and Delta Sharing — the foundation for everything the product does
• Serve as the primary technical relationship owner for your partners' data teams, running orientation calls, scoping sessions, and regular check-ins at the CTO/CMIO level
• Collaborate with the Product Data Science team to scope new workflow data requirements and ensure pipeline outputs support backtesting, production inference, and evaluation

Required Qualifications:

• 7+ years as a data engineer or engineering leader, with experience building production data pipelines and owning client relationships end-to-end
• Strong expertise in Epic Clarity/Caboodle data models — you know your way around the clinical tables that power healthcare AI
• Proficiency with Databricks (PySpark, Delta Lake), SQL Server, and Azure cloud services (ADLS, Key Vault, ADF)
• Experience with FHIR/HL7 healthcare interoperability standards and data transformation patterns
• Executive-level client-facing communication — you can present data architecture decisions to a health system CTO, scope a new workflow with a CMIO, and debug a complex SQL query in the same day
• Data quality obsession — you build validation frameworks and monitoring, not just pipelines. You catch problems before the customer does.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Mathematics, or related technical field

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with healthcare data from multiple EHR vendors (Epic, Cerner, eCW, athenahealth, NextGen)
• Terraform or infrastructure-as-code experience for tenant provisioning
• Background in healthcare consulting, EHR implementation, or health system IT
• Experience with real-time data processing (HL7 feeds, FHIR subscriptions, streaming pipelines)

Technical Environment:

Our data infrastructure is built on modern cloud technologies including:

• Azure Databricks + Data Factory (plus Fabric and Snowflake integrations)
• PySpark for distributed data processing
• GitHub Actions + Terraform for CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code
• Python with type-safe patterns and modern frameworks
• Healthcare data formats including FHIR, Epic Clarity, and other EHR schemas

What Success Looks Like:

• High-quality data pipelines delivered on schedule with thorough testing and documentation
• Proactive issue identification with technical problems caught and resolved before impacting partners
• Reusable components that reduce implementation time for subsequent integrations
• Clean production deployments with minimal post-launch issues
• Technical credibility with partner IT teams based on quality of work
• Efficient troubleshooting with quick diagnosis and resolution of data quality issues

Impact & Growth Opportunity:

As a Director of Partner Integration at Qualified Health, you'll build the data infrastructure that powers AI-driven insights for major health systems. Your work directly enables better patient care by ensuring high-quality, reliable data flows into clinical decision support tools. This role offers deep technical
