The ideal candidate operates with minimal supervision, leads integration design decisions, mentors junior and mid-level analysts, and is comfortable serving as a trusted technical point of contact with VA clinical stakeholders and program leadership.

• Serve as the primary technical liaison between clinical stakeholders, business analysts, and development teams, translating complex functional and interoperability requirements into robust interface specifications and architecture decisions.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level analysts, and review their interface designs, code, and documentation for quality and standards compliance.
• Lead technical design reviews and provide subject-matter expertise during proposal support, sprint planning, and architecture discussions with VA and program stakeholders.
• Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot interface engines (for example Rhapsody, Cloverleaf, Mirth, Ensemble, or VA-specific middleware) to ensure accurate, timely message routing and transformation.
• Own root-cause analysis of the most complex interface failures, data discrepancies, and message errors, drive corrective and preventive actions within defined service levels, and serve as the escalation point for critical incidents.
• Support integration testing, including unit, system, interface, and end-to-end testing, in coordination with VA test environments and release schedules.
• Document interface specifications, data mapping, message formats, system architecture diagrams, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Ensure all integration work complies with VA information security requirements, HIPAA, and applicable federal health data standards (for example HL7, FHIR, C-CDA, X12).
• Participate in change management, configuration management, and release processes per VA and program governance requirements.
• Support Section 508 compliance and VA Technical Reference Model (TRM) standards where applicable.
• Provide status reporting, risk identification, and technical input to Program Management for program deliverables.
• Provide on-call or after-hours support for critical interface issues as required.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Health Informatics, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Minimum 7 to 10 or more years of progressive experience as a technical, systems, or interface analyst supporting healthcare IT integrations, including experience leading integration efforts on complex, multi-system projects.
• Demonstrated deep fluency and hands-on mastery of HL7 v2.x messaging (ADT, ORM, ORU, SIU, DFT, and similar), and strong working knowledge of HL7 FHIR.
• Extensive hands-on experience with one or more interface engines or integration platforms (for example Rhapsody, Cloverleaf, Mirth Connect, Ensemble / InterSystems, BizTalk), including architecture and configuration ownership.
• Strong working knowledge of healthcare data standards such as C-CDA, X12 (EDI), DICOM, or LOINC / SNOMED / ICD-10 code sets.
• Advanced experience with SQL and relational databases for data validation, extraction, performance troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis.
• Direct experience with VA systems (VistA, CPRS, Oracle Health / Cerner Millennium) or comparable large-scale federal / EHR environments is strongly preferred, along with the ability to speak credibly with VA clinical and technical stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical work streams, mentor junior and mid-level staff, and operate independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong understanding of the system development lifecycle (SDLC), Agile / Scrum methodologies, and integration testing practices, including experience shaping test strategy for complex interface projects.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions with senior stakeholders and translate complex concepts for non-technical audiences.

• HL7 or FHIR certification (for example the HL7 FHIR Proficiency Certificate) or a relevant health IT certification such as CPHIMS or CAHIMS.
• Experience with ITIL-based service management (incident, problem, and change management) in a federal environment.
