About Qualified Health
Qualified Health is a clinical AI company. We turn the noise inside health system data into signal that clinical and financial leaders can act on, in ways the incumbent systems of record can't. Our product is not a feature set. Our product is the outcome: value realized inside a small number of large health systems we partner with deeply.
We are moving fast, building something that doesn't fit the traditional SaaS mold. It is intense and it is genuinely fun. The work is real and the stakes are real, because what we ship has to earn the trust of clinicians and the confidence of CFOs.
At Qualified Health, we’re redefining what’s possible with Generative AI in healthcare. Our infrastructure provides the guardrails for safe AI governance, healthcare-specific agent creation, and real-time algorithm monitoring—working alongside leading health systems to drive real change.
This is more than just a job. It’s an opportunity to build the future of AI in healthcare, solve complex challenges, and make a lasting impact on patient care. If you’re ambitious, innovative, and ready to move fast, we’d love to have you on board.
Join us in shaping the future of healthcare.
The role
Product operations here is a function of one today. You would be the second person in it, and the first hire into it.
The simplest way to describe the job: you are the product manager for the product and R&D organization. Your customers are the people who build, the product team, engineering, data, design, and the AI Transformation team. Your job is to understand their friction, then put the systems, cadences, tooling, and ways of working in place that let each of them operate at the top of their license.
It is also a strategy role, not only an operations one. You will help shape where our product portfolio is going, not just how it runs: how products scale, and what reusable core lives inside the things we build for individual clients. At heart this is a connector role. You sit above the individual teams and products and find the through-lines, the shared building blocks, and the leverage that no single team sees from inside its own work.
You will not do this by showing up with process and telling people to follow it. You will do it by understanding what is actually holding the org back, then designing the lightest change that solves it and bringing people along on why it matters.
This is a hands-on, build-it-yourself role, not a manage-a-team role. You will be in the tools, in the repos, and in the rooms. It is also a role with room to grow: the surface is wide on purpose, spanning product strategy and portfolio, the product operating model, delivery coordination across teams, the systems that keep us reliable as we scale, and making the whole company AI-native.
What you will own
You’ll own how our product organization scales — shaping a multi-product portfolio, building the operating cadences that turn strategy into shipped work, and acting as the connective tissue across delivery teams so problems surface before they become fire drills.
Shape the product portfolio: find the reusable building blocks across clients instead of one-off builds for each customer.
Own core operating cadences: sprint planning, OKRs, and the idea-to-ship process from PRD through shipped learnings.
Run cross-team delivery coordination (scrum-of-scrums), keeping one honest view of the portfolio for leadership.
Build the systems that replace status-chasing with live visibility (Jira/Notion dashboards).
Own the delivery and reliability operating system: capacity gates, release sign-off, and partnering with engineering on system health.
Drive AI-native operations and co-own company-wide adoption of our internal AI workflow marketplace.
What we are looking for
Multiple cycles across a few companies in product operations, R&D operations, technical program management, or an adjacent role where you owned how a product organization actually runs, ideally including time at a company going through fast scaling.
Demonstrated experience building operating models, OKR systems, and idea-to-ship or SDLC frameworks from a light starting point, not just administering ones that already existed.
Someone who has driven AI adoption for others, not just personal AI use. You have gotten other people and teams to change how they work, and made it stick.
Real, hands-on fluency building with modern AI tools with a strong point of view and a curious mind.
Experience coordinating delivery across multiple teams (a scrum-of-scrums, program-management, or portfolio capacity), or the clear appetite to grow into it.
Enough technical fluency to be useful in architecture, scaling, and reliability conversations with engineers, and the appetite to go deeper. You do not need to have run observability or release engineering yourself; you do need to want to learn it.
Comfort with Jira and Notion (or the equivalent), and the instinct to make a system of record that people actually keep current.
Strong cross-functional facilitation, especially the ability to move a stuck decision forward without owning the decision yourself.
Who you are
You measure your work by outcomes, not motion. While you’ve worked on the process, your orientation is to the customer. You are a connector. You see the through-lines across teams and products that no one sees from inside a single one, and you turn them into leverage.
You are a change agent for AI. You don't just use the tools well yourself; you get a whole organization to change how it works, and you make that change feel like a gift rather than a mandate.
You operate light. You can build the right amount of process for a 100-person company and resist the urge to import the playbook from a 500-person one. You earn adoption by solving real pain, not by mandate.
You learn before you change. You will want to understand how things work and who they work for before you redesign them, and you will manage the change deliberately when you do.
You want the org to work with joy. You believe, and have seen, that teams that enjoy the work do better work, and you treat internal friction as a problem worth solving for its own sake.

Senior Forward Deployed Data Engineer, Data Modernizaton
Transform healthcare with us.
At Qualified Health, we're redefining what's possible with Generative AI in healthcare. Our infrastructure provides the guardrails for safe AI governance, healthcare-specific agent creation, and real-time algorithm monitoring — working alongside leading health systems to drive real change.
This is more than just a job. It's an opportunity to build the future of AI in healthcare, solve complex challenges, and make a lasting impact on patient care. If you're ambitious, innovative, and ready to move fast, we'd love to have you on board.
Join us in shaping the future of healthcare.
About Forward-Deployed Engineering at QH. Data Modernization is a forward-deployed function. Every role on this team — leadership and IC alike — works directly with health system customers, on-site and in their environments, throughout the engagement. This is not a back-office data role: you'll sit with the customer's data and IT teams, present your work to their technical leadership, and be accountable for outcomes they can see. All roles are Senior/Staff level or higher.
Note on platform specialization: We are hiring Senior / Staff Data Engineers who each own deep expertise in one of our three target platforms — Databricks, Snowflake, or Microsoft Fabric. This single posting covers all three seats; we'll match you to the platform where your depth is strongest during the process. The core of the role — landing health system data in a modern lakehouse and serving as the platform-specific technical lead on an engagement — is the same across all three.
Job Summary
This is the role where the data actually moves. As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer on the Data Modernization team, you own the platform-specific build that takes a health system from legacy connectivity — flat files, manual SFTP, a half-finished Clarity database — to a modern, AI-ready lakehouse that can serve our agentic AI workflows at full speed.
You are the deep platform expert for your stack. During an active engagement, you serve as the platform-specific technical lead under the Principal Solutions Architect: you own the ingestion, the medallion architecture, the governance configuration, and the data-sharing pattern on your platform. Between engagements, you sustain our production environments, build the accelerators and reusable IP that make the next engagement faster, support pre-sales technical discovery, and cross-train on the other platforms so the team stays flexible.
These are time-boxed, high-stakes builds. A greenfield foundation goes from zero to a live AI workflow in roughly ten weeks; an acceleration engagement folds hundreds of Clarity tables into an existing lakehouse on weeks-to-months timelines. You'll ship production-grade work in a regulated environment, where "done" means it's governed, documented, and ready to hand to the integration team — not just that the pipeline ran once.
Key Responsibilities
Work forward-deployed inside the customer's environment: partner directly with their data and IT teams, present design decisions and progress to their technical leadership, and represent QH on-site during kickoffs and key milestones
Own platform-specific architecture and build for your stack during active engagements, as technical lead under the Principal Solutions Architect
Design and implement ingestion from EHR and source systems (Epic Clarity / Caboodle, FHIR, ERP, scheduling, claims) into a medallion lakehouse
Build and harden change-data-capture, transformation, and orchestration pipelines that meet engagement timelines
Configure governance, access control, and the data-sharing pattern that hands clean, AI-ready data to QH's platform (Delta Sharing, Fabric External Sharing, Snowflake Reader Accounts, or equivalent)
Sustain production environments handed off from prior engagements, and develop reusable accelerators and IP that compress the next build
Support pre-sales technical discovery and source-data assessment alongside the Principal SA
Ensure every environment meets handoff criteria for the Client Integration team — governed, documented, reproducible
Cross-train on the other two platforms to keep the team flexible across single- and multi-engagement states
Required Qualifications
8+ years in data engineering or data platform roles, at a Senior or Staff IC level
Client-facing maturity — comfortable working on-site in a customer's environment and presenting technical work to their data and IT leadership
Deep, hands-on expertise in at least one of Databricks, Snowflake, or Microsoft Fabric (see platform note above)
Has shipped production data workloads in a regulated environment (HIPAA, HITRUST, or comparable)
Strong in Python and distributed data processing (PySpark or equivalent), plus SQL and modern transformation tooling
Comfortable as the sole platform expert on an engagement — you can own a build, not just contribute to one
Infrastructure-as-code fluency (Terraform) and CI/CD discipline (GitHub Actions)
Platform-Specific Depth (own one)
Databricks: Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Delta Sharing, Delta Live Tables, Photon. Bonus: production Databricks experience inside a health system or Databricks partner consultancy.
Snowflake: Snowpark, Reader Accounts, Streams & Tasks, Dynamic Tables, Snowpipe, strong dbt fluency. Bonus: Epic Clarity inside Snowflake.
Microsoft Fabric: OneLake, SQL Server Mirroring for CDC, Fabric Data Factory, Fabric External Sharing, Iceberg shortcuts. Bonus: prior Azure Synapse / ADF / Databricks-on-Azure background. (The rarest and most sought-after of the three — Fabric is the newest platform.)
Ideal Experience
Resident / customer-success solutions architect or engineer from a cloud data platform vendor (Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft FastTrack / CSU)
Senior data engineer from a health system running on your platform, or from a platform-partner consultancy
Familiarity with EHR data models and the realities of on-prem-to-cloud CDC
Background in consulting, professional services, or data platform implementation in regulated industries (healthcare strongly preferred; fintech a strong adjacent)
Desirable Skills
Ownership: You're the one person on the engagement who deeply knows this platform, and you carry that weight without needing a second set of hands on every decision.
Pragmatism: You know the difference between architecturally ideal and deliverable-in-ten-weeks, and you optimize for the latter without creating technical debt.
Reusability mindset: You build the second engagement's accelerator while delivering the first, because you've felt the cost of bespoke-everything.
Clinical-data literacy: Clarity and Caboodle don't scare you; you understand why health system data is messy and you've untangled it before.
Cross-platform curiosity: Your depth is in one stack, but you're glad to learn the other two so the team can flex across engagements.
Technical Environment
Databricks (primary), Microsoft Fabric, and Snowflake — fully platform-agnostic on acceleration engagements
PySpark and Python with type-safe patterns and modern frameworks
GitHub Actions + Terraform for CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code
Healthcare data formats including FHIR, Epic Clarity / Caboodle, and other EHR schemas
HIPAA / HITRUST-regulated cloud environments on Azure and AWS

Job Summary:
The Director of Data Modernization is the technical architect and engineering leader across all of Qualified Health's data modernization engagements. You'll walk into a health system's data environment — which might be anything from a well-maintained EHR reporting database to a tangle of flat files and manual SFTP processes — and design the modern cloud data platform that will replace it.
This is the highest-leverage work on the team. Every health system you modernize from legacy connectivity to a modern data sharing pattern reduces their ongoing integration effort dramatically. You're not just building infrastructure — you're removing the single biggest bottleneck to AI deployment across our entire partner base.
You'll own the technical architecture playbook, make design decisions across concurrent engagements, lead a team of data engineers and cloud/infrastructure engineers, review all engineering output, and personally drive the most complex builds. The Engagement Manager handles the partner relationship and project management — you handle the engineering. Together, you run the engagement.
Key Responsibilities:
Own the technical architecture for modernization engagements: Azure Databricks design, data landing zones, networking, security controls
Lead and develop a team of data engineers and cloud/infrastructure engineers
Lead technical discovery and source data assessments for new engagements
Review and approve all engineering deliverables across concurrent engagements
Personally drive architecture and build for the most complex engagements
Set engineering quality standards and drive architectural decisions across the modernization practice
Maintain and evolve the technical engagement playbook
Ensure environments meet handoff criteria for the Client Integration team
Collaborate with Data Mapping Analysts on source data assessment and validation
This role requires travel to healthcare client sites for engagement kickoffs, technical discovery sessions, and key milestones. Candidates should be prepared for 15-25% travel, depending on active engagements.
Required Qualifications:
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. A Master's degree is preferred.
-
Required Experience:
6+ years in data engineering or data platform roles, with demonstrated technical leadership
Deep Azure expertise: Databricks, ADLS2, Azure networking, managed identities, Terraform/Bicep
Experience with data platform design and deployment (greenfield builds)
Client-facing experience — comfortable leading technical conversations with health system IT teams
Preferred Skills:
Familiarity with EHR data sources and clinical data models (Epic Clarity/Caboodle preferred)
Experience with data sharing protocols (Delta Share, Fabric External Sharing, or similar)
Background in consulting, professional services, or data platform implementation
Experience designing data architectures for HIPAA-regulated environments
Track record of managing technical quality across concurrent engagements
Architectural Judgment: You can walk into an unfamiliar data environment, assess what exists, identify what's missing, and design a target state architecture that is both technically sound and achievable within a time-boxed engagement
Hands-On Leadership: You lead by example — reviewing code, pairing with engineers on tough problems, and shipping your own work alongside the team
Pragmatism: You know the difference between "architecturally ideal" and "what we can actually deliver in the engagement window" — and you optimize for the latter without creating technical debt
Client Presence: You're comfortable in a room with a health system CIO or VP of IT, explaining technical decisions in business terms
Documentation: You maintain engagement playbooks and architecture patterns so the next engagement benefits from what you learned in the last one
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

Staff / Principal Forward-Deployed Architect, Data Modernization
Transform healthcare with us.

This is more than just a job. It's an opportunity to build the future of AI in healthcare, solve complex challenges, and make a lasting impact on patient care. If you're ambitious, innovative, and ready to move fast, we'd love to have you on board.
Join us in shaping the future of healthcare.
Job Summary
The Staff / Principal Forward-Deployed Architect is the senior-most technologist in our Data Modernization Services function — and the single named architect across every engagement we run. You own the reference architecture that defines how we land an EHR-anchored, AI-ready data foundation on Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric, and you stay close enough to the work to ship code yourself when an engagement calls for it.
The work is unusually high-leverage. Every health system we modernize — from legacy reporting databases and SFTP-driven feeds to a modern lakehouse with Delta Sharing, Reader Accounts, or Fabric External Sharing — collapses the path from "data exists somewhere" to "agentic AI workflows can safely run against it." You're the person who decides what that target state looks like, defends those choices in front of a customer CTO, and then leads the team that builds it on a 10-week greenfield clock.
You'll lead a tight bench of platform-specialist Senior Data Engineers (one each on Databricks, Snowflake, and Fabric) plus a Cloud/Platform Engineer. You're the public face of the practice in pre-sales discovery — and during active delivery, you're the engagement-embedded tech lead. Strong opinions, loosely held. Equally comfortable in a CTO conversation and a Terraform repo.
This posting spans both Staff and Principal levels; the offer level is calibrated to depth of experience and breadth of demonstrated technical leadership.
Key Responsibilities
Own the cross-platform reference architecture for the Modern Data Platform across Databricks, Snowflake, and Fabric — and evolve it as platforms and partners change
Serve as the engagement-embedded tech lead on the active engagement: architecture, design reviews, and hands-on build on the hardest parts
Lead technical discovery with prospective health system partners — assess source environments (Epic Clarity/Caboodle, Cogito on Cloud, Bulk FHIR, flat-file SFTP) and design a defensible target state
Lead and develop a team of platform-specialist Senior Data Engineers and a Cloud/Platform Engineer; set the technical bar
Review and approve all engineering deliverables — IaC, ingestion patterns, data sharing topology, security controls
Partner with the Engagement Manager and Field CDO to scope SOWs, defend timelines, and surface technical risk before it becomes schedule risk
Coordinate technical handoffs to the QH Platform team via Delta Sharing / Reader Account so AI workflows can be deployed against the modernized foundation
Maintain the technical engagement playbook and a library of accelerators so each engagement starts further along than the last
Carry the technical narrative in pre-sales: present to CTOs, CDOs, and enterprise architects; convert technical credibility into signed work
Required Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Master's preferred.
-
Required Experience:
10+ years in data engineering, data platform architecture, or solutions architecture roles, with demonstrated technical leadership of multi-person teams
Hands-on production experience across at least two of Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric — and the technical curiosity and pattern-recognition to credibly own the third
Three or more enterprise lakehouse / cloud data platform implementations delivered in regulated industries
Deep cloud fluency, with Azure as the most common engagement substrate: networking, identity, key management, IaC (Terraform or Bicep), and observability
Client-facing experience leading executive technical conversations — comfortable in a room with a health system CTO, CDO, or CISO
Ideal Experience
Healthcare data fluency: Epic Clarity / Caboodle, Cogito on Cloud, Bulk FHIR, HL7, claims data, and the realities of on-prem-to-cloud CDC
Direct experience with modern data sharing patterns: Delta Sharing, Snowflake Reader Accounts, Fabric External Sharing, Iceberg shortcuts
HIPAA / HITRUST-regulated environments; opinions on PHI segmentation, BAA scope, and audit posture
Background in a Databricks / Snowflake / Microsoft Fabric professional services or field engineering org, a healthcare-focused consultancy, or a large IDN data platform team
Track record of architecting under a time-boxed engagement (e.g., 8–10 week greenfield delivery) rather than open-ended programs
Desirable Skills
Multi-Platform Judgment: You don't get religious about Databricks vs Snowflake vs Fabric. You can articulate when each is the right call for a given customer's data gravity, existing investments, and roadmap — and design accordingly
Architect Who Still Builds: You lead by example. You review IaC and PySpark, you pair on the hardest design problems, and you'll personally drive the build on the gnarliest part of an engagement instead of throwing it over the wall
Pragmatism: You know the difference between the architecturally ideal target and what a 10-week engagement can realistically land — and you optimize for delivered value without quietly accumulating technical debt
Pre-Sales Presence: You can walk into a discovery session cold, ask the right five questions, and leave with a credible architectural sketch. You convert technical depth into customer confidence
Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: You bring a point of view to every architecture review, defend it well, and update it cleanly when the customer environment or new information argues against you
Documentation Discipline: You treat the playbook as a product. Every engagement leaves behind patterns, accelerators, and decisions the next engagement inherits
Travel Requirements
This role requires travel to healthcare client sites for engagement kickoffs, technical discovery sessions, on-site working weeks, and key milestones. Candidates should be prepared for 25–35% travel, depending on active engagements and pre-sales pipeline.

Join us in shaping the future of healthcare.
Job Summary
The New Product Development Lead is one of the most important individual-contributor hires we'll make this year. This is a 0-to-1 role. Given a new product idea, whether it's a clinical use case, a hospital operations problem, a revenue cycle workflow, or any other place AI can drive real value inside a health system, you independently take it from an open question to a working, deployed product, and you stay with it as it matures with real clients.
That means doing the data discovery yourself: figuring out what signal actually exists in a client's data, whether it's usable, and what it would take to turn it into something trustworthy enough to run in production. It means designing and building whatever pipeline or agentic workflow the product needs, often something bespoke, built for the specific problem rather than forced into an existing pattern. And it means judgment: knowing when existing platform components are the right foundation to build on, versus when the product calls for something new, and when something new proves out, bringing it back into the platform so it's available for the next product.
Ownership doesn't stop at a working prototype. You'll carry products through production deployment and into post-launch iteration directly with health system clients, refining based on what real data and real feedback tell you. Our platform spans a growing set of AI products across clinical, operational, and revenue cycle domains, with several active pipelines already in production or in deployment with clients. And the next one is likely something none of us have scoped yet.
Key Responsibilities
Take new product ideas, spanning clinical, hospital operations, revenue cycle, and other health system domains, from an open, often ambiguous problem statement through to a deployed, working product, owning the full 0-to-1 lifecycle
Independently perform data discovery against client data: assess what signal exists, its quality and completeness, and whether it can support a trustworthy production product
Design and build the data pipeline and agentic AI workflow each product needs, choosing a bespoke approach when the existing platform doesn't fit rather than forcing a mismatched pattern
Exercise judgment on when to build on existing platform infrastructure versus when to build something new
Once an initial bespoke build proves out, bring it into the core data platform: harden it, integrate it with existing pipelines and standards, and make it a supported, reusable part of the platform rather than a one-off
Collaborate directly with clinical, operational, product, and client stakeholders during discovery and validation to ensure the product reflects real domain logic and real workflow needs
Carry products through production deployment and own post-launch iteration directly with health system clients as real-world data and feedback come in
Own data spec documentation for each product you build
Work within platform principles (empirical verification before building, annotations over hardcoded logic, loud failures over silent nulls) without those principles constraining the pace or shape of 0-to-1 discovery
Required Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field. Master's degree is preferred.
Deep Databricks/Spark expertise at the architecture level — performance tuning, cluster management, Delta Lake design patterns
Experience building reusable data frameworks, tooling, or platforms
Demonstrated ability to hire, develop, and retain strong engineers
Ideal Experience
Hands-on experience building ML/LLM pipelines: agent/tool-based architectures, model serving, prompt engineering in production, evaluation frameworks
Background as a founding or early engineer on a new product or platform, where you defined the approach rather than inherited one
Direct experience working with clients or end users to validate and refine a product post-launch
Desirable Skills
0-to-1 Judgment: Comfortable starting from an open problem, clinical or otherwise, with no defined data path, and independently figuring out what's real, what's usable, and what to build
Build vs. Reuse Instincts: Knows when to build something bespoke for a specific product versus when to lean on existing platform infrastructure, and can generalize a bespoke solution into something reusable once it's proven
Product Engineering Instincts: You think about your output as a product: validated with real data and real domain stakeholders, deployed, and owned through post-launch iteration, not handed off at "done"
Client-Facing Comfort: You're effective working directly with health system clients and their stakeholders during discovery and after launch, not just with internal teams
Builder Mentality: You're energized by creating something from nothing: taking a product from a rough idea to something real in production, independently and end-to-end
Travel Requirements
This role is primarily remote. Occasional travel may be required for team on-sites, leadership meetings, or partner-facing architecture discussions. Candidates should be prepared for 5-10% travel.

This is more than just a job. It's an opportunity to build the future of AI in healthcare, solve complex challenges, and make a lasting impact on patient care. If you're ambitious, innovative, and ready to move fast, we'd love to have you on board.
Join us in shaping the future of healthcare.
Job Summary:
The Engagement Manager for Data Modernization owns the delivery lifecycle for one of the most strategically important initiatives at Qualified Health. Many of our 15+ health system partners are still running legacy data infrastructure that creates significant slowdowns in AI deployment. You'll lead the engagements that change that — helping partners stand up modern Azure Databricks environments, land their EHR and source system data in a cloud-native architecture, and unlock the ability to deploy our agentic AI workflows at full speed.
You are the single point of accountability for each engagement — from scoping and SOW alignment through milestone delivery and handoff to our integration team. You'll run the weekly status calls, manage partner expectations, coordinate across engineering, mapping, and infrastructure resources, and ensure every engagement delivers on its promises.
This is not a traditional PMO role. You'll be managing deeply technical engagements where the deliverable is a functioning data platform. You need enough technical fluency to understand what's happening at the infrastructure and data layer, ask the right questions, and spot risks before they become blockers — all while maintaining the partner relationship and keeping the project on track.
Key Responsibilities:
Own the modernization engagement lifecycle: scoping, SOW alignment, kickoff, milestone tracking, status reporting, and handoff
Serve as primary point of contact for partner stakeholders during engagements
Coordinate across engineering, data mapping, cloud/infrastructure, and client integration resources
Manage engagement timelines, risks, and dependencies across 2-3 concurrent engagements
Run weekly status calls with partner teams
Ensure clean handoff to the Client Integration team post-modernization
Build and refine the engagement playbook for repeatability and scalability
Track capacity across concurrent engagements and flag resource conflicts early
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Information Technology, or a related field
4-7 years in technical project/program management, professional services delivery, or technical consulting
Experience managing data platform, cloud infrastructure, or data integration projects
Sufficient technical fluency to engage in conversations about Azure, Databricks, data pipelines, and networking
Strong communication skills: clear status reporting, expectation management, risk escalation
Ability to travel for engagement kickoffs, key milestones and on-site working sessions 20-30% of the time
Preferred Skills:
Healthcare IT or health system experience — understanding of how health systems operate, their procurement and IT decision-making dynamics
Experience managing concurrent engagements (2-3 at a time) with different partners and timelines
Background in a consulting firm, systems integrator, or professional services organization
Experience building engagement playbooks and delivery processes from scratch
Partner Management: You know how to manage expectations, deliver difficult messages when timelines shift, and maintain trust even when things get complicated
Technical Fluency: You can't write the Terraform, but you understand what it does and you can tell when a technical conversation is going sideways
Organizational Rigor: You manage milestones, action items, and resource allocation across concurrent engagements without dropping anything
Process Building: You're excited by the opportunity to build the engagement playbook, not just follow one — because the playbook doesn't fully exist yet
Adaptability: Comfort working in a startup where your role will evolve as the data modernization service line matures
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

Job Summary
Qualified Health is building a team of Epic Forward Deployed Engineers—individuals who have lived inside health systems or Epic implementation environments and understand, from the inside, how clinical workflows get built, how Epic interfaces actually work, and what it takes to get a new tool adopted at the point of care. As an Epic Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be embedded at our health system client sites, working directly with their Epic teams, clinical informatics leads, and operational stakeholders to design, configure, and validate the integration pathways that bring QH’s AI clinical workflows to life inside Epic. This is a hands-on, client-facing, solution-design role—not a back-office engineering position.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the primary on-site (or virtually embedded) technical resource for 1–2 health system clients, building trusted relationships with their Epic analysts, interface teams, and clinical informatics staff
Lead Epic workflow discovery sessions: map current state clinical workflows, identify where AI outputs need to surface (In Basket, CDS card, AVS note, workflow step, report), and document the integration approach
Design the end-to-end integration spec for each use case—covering Epic Bridges interface configuration, FHIR R4 endpoints, CDS Hooks trigger logic, SMART on FHIR app placement, or SendMessage / MDM T02 delivery paths
Coordinate with client Epic teams to drive interface build on the client side; serve as the authoritative technical voice on what needs to happen and why
Own end-to-end testing and validation: from QH platform output through Epic interface to the point of care, catching issues before they reach the clinician
Translate field learnings—edge cases, clinical feedback, configuration gaps—into structured platform requirements for QH’s data engineering and product teams
Support change management at client sites: help clinical champions understand and adopt new AI-enabled workflows
Required Qualifications
5+ years of experience in one or more of the following: Epic implementation consulting, health system clinical applications, healthcare IT integration, or SMART on FHIR app development
Direct, hands-on experience with at least one Epic module (Bridges, Ambulatory, ClinDoc, MyChart, Orders, BPAs) in a build, configuration, or implementation role
Demonstrated ability to do solution design in front of clients—you can walk a health system IT team through an interface architecture and make it make sense to both technical analysts and clinical stakeholders
Comfortable with HL7 v2 and FHIR R4 concepts; you don’t need to be a developer but you need to understand message structures, data flows, and integration patterns
Strong written and verbal communication; you can write a clear interface spec, facilitate a requirements session, and explain a technical dependency to a CMO without losing the room
Preferred Skills — Archetype A: Epic Implementation Background
Epic certification in Bridges, Ambulatory, ClinDoc, MyChart, or Orders
Experience going live on at least one Epic implementation at an Epic partner shop or health system
Familiarity with Epic Project Workplan structure, build environments, and go-live cutover processes
Experience with Epic CDS Hooks configuration or SMART on FHIR app registration in a production Epic environment
Preferred Skills — Archetype B: Health System Clinical Informatics / Workflow Background
Experience in a health system clinical applications, informatics, or IT analyst role
Direct exposure to clinical workflow design in Epic from the provider side—you understand how physicians and nurses work in the EHR
Familiarity with the political and operational dynamics of health system IT governance (steering committees, clinical champions, change control)
Has deployed or evaluated a SMART on FHIR app or worked with a third-party vendor on an Epic integration
What Success Looks Like
Client Epic and clinical informatics teams view you as a trusted technical peer, not a vendor contact
Interface issues are caught and resolved before they reach the clinician’s screen
Structured, actionable feedback from the field reaches QH’s engineering and product teams in time to influence the roadmap
Each client engagement produces reusable artifacts (interface specs, test scripts, workflow maps) that accelerate the next onboarding
Impact & Growth Opportunity
The Epic Forward Deployed Engineer is where AI meets clinical reality. Every integration you design and validate is the difference between an AI insight that sits in a database and one that changes a treatment decision for a real patient. As QH scales across health systems, this team will define the integration playbook that powers the company’s growth. Strong performers in this role grow into senior or principal FDE positions, integration architecture leads, or client success leadership roles as the organization matures.
