Additionally, you will work together with near- and off-shore technical teams, vendors and external partners to ensure our tailored software solutions for our healthcare clients are compliant with health regulations and standards. In your role, you will collaborate with clinical teams, administrators, and other healthcare professionals to prioritize and address health-specific software requirements.

As technical expert, you evaluate and select software development technologies, tools and platforms. You also identify software requirements and design architectural blueprints for development team to follow. Additionally, you communicate requirements with other stakeholders like project managers, scrum masters, product owners, business analysts, developers and infrastructure or security architects, as well as provide training and support in business development.
