Why Synthesis Health?
At Synthesis Health, we don’t just build software, we reimagine the infrastructure that powers medical imaging. Our cloud-native platform connects hospitals, imaging centers, and clinicians to real-time, actionable imaging data with unprecedented speed and intelligence.
We believe that imaging should just work—no more clunky interfaces, slow PACS systems, or outdated workflows. We’re engineers, doctors, and builders who thrive at the intersection of healthcare and technology.
What This Role Is (and isn’t)
This isn’t your typical "integration analyst" role pushing HL7 messages down a pipe.
We’re looking for a technical integrator and problem solver who thrives in messy healthcare environments and wants to fix real-world problems with elegant, repeatable solutions.
You’ll deploy and integrate our imaging software in high-stakes clinical environments, build scalable data pipelines, and drive interoperability between our platform and hospital IT systems like PACS, RIS, VNAs, and EHRs.
What You’ll Actually Do
- Lead DICOM-based integration projects end to end—from initial customer engagement to go-live.
- Interface with hospital PACS, RIS, and imaging teams to analyze and optimize radiology workflows.
- Build data pipelines that normalize and route imaging metadata using modern tools and cloud-native practices.
- Own integration tooling: from deployment scripts to diagnostic logs to Pub/Sub services.
- Use messaging protocols (DICOM, HL7, IHE, Pub/Sub) to enable deep interoperability across the imaging ecosystem.
- Create repeatable and documented internal processes that reduce onboarding time and deployment friction.
- Be part of the on-call L3 triage rotation—because if imaging breaks, patient care can stop. You’ll help fix that.
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to make our platform smarter, faster, and more intuitive.
- Continuously identify ways to simplify integration, reduce manual overhead, and improve customer outcomes.
What You Bring
- 3–5+ years in a technical healthcare IT role (Integration Engineer, PACS Admin, Systems Analyst, or similar).
- Mastery of DICOM (this is non-negotiable)—image routing, metadata structures, and interoperability quirks.
- Familiarity with PACS/VNA environments and deep knowledge of clinical imaging workflows.
- Experience with Mirth Connect, integration engines, or scripting your way through HL7 challenges.
- Programming skills in languages like Python, JavaScript, or similar.
- Experience with PostgreSQL, cloud-based storage, and modern deployment pipelines.
- You speak both “developer” and “radiologist” fluently—and can translate between them.
- Working knowledge of healthcare privacy and security regulations (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.)
Bonus Points If You…
- Have deployed or maintained imaging platforms in hospital environments.
- Know your way around message queues, Pub/Sub, and microservices architecture.
- Understand CI/CD workflows, containerization (Docker), and basic observability/monitoring practices.
- Have war stories from implementing or fixing HL7 in complex hospital networks.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Real-world impact: Every integration you deploy directly improves patient care and clinician experience.
- Fast, modern stack: Cloud-native, agile, and unburdened by legacy tech debt.
- No corporate fluff: You’ll work with a small, senior team that values autonomy and results.
- Remote-first: Work from anywhere in the U.S/Canada with flexibility and trust.
- Mission-first culture: We're here to fix healthcare tech—and we actually mean it.
- Compensation: Synthesis has a location-based compensation plan. Compensation is determined by the market rates of the employee's country of residence. For US employees the salary range is $90,000 - $120,000 per year.
- Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, and flexible vacation are some of our benefits.
