The Senior Software Development Engineer (CIS) is responsible for the design, development, integration, and support of clinical software solutions across the organisation, with a primary focus on Laboratory Information Systems (LIS), Enterprise Data Integrated Platform (EDIP), and API / API Management platforms.

This role ensures that clinical systems are interoperable, scalable, secure, and aligned with enterprise architecture standards. The position plays a critical role in enabling data-driven healthcare, supporting real-time clinical workflows, and advancing digital transformation initiatives, including data lake house, FHIR interoperability, and AI-driven analytics.

The role collaborates closely with clinical stakeholders, data engineers, and enterprise architects to deliver robust, compliant, and high-performing solutions across multiple hospitals.

JOB DESCRIPTION :

System Development & Integration

• Design, develop, and maintain software components for LIS, EDIP, and API platforms.

• Develop and manage system integrations between HIS, LIS, RIS, PACS, EMR, and external systems.

• Build and maintain RESTful APIs, microservices, and middleware solutions.

• Implement HL7 v2, HL7 FHIR, and other healthcare interoperability standards.

Enterprise Data Platform (EDIP) Development

• Develop data ingestion pipelines into Bronze (raw), Silver (harmonised), and Gold (analytics-ready) layers.

• Support integration with technologies such as Kafka, Spark, Databricks, Snowflake, or GCP BigQuery.

• Ensure data quality, transformation logic, and metadata management.

API Management

• Develop and manage APIs via API gateways (e.g., Apigee or equivalent).

• Implement API security (OAuth2, JWT, throttling, rate limiting).

• Monitor API performance, logging, and lifecycle management.

LIS & Clinical System Enhancement

• Support LIS workflows, including lab order, specimen tracking, results reporting, and integration with analysers.

• Enhance system capabilities to support ICD coding, structured reporting, and clinical decision support.

DevOps & Deployment

• Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated build, testing, and deployment.

• Manage version control (Git), containerization (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).

• Ensure system reliability, scalability, and performance optimization.

Governance & Compliance

• Ensure compliance with healthcare standards (e.g., MOH, JCI, PDPA).

• Participate in system audits, documentation, and risk assessments.

• Enforce secure coding practices and data privacy requirements.

Support & Continuous Improvement

• Provide Level 2/3 technical support for production systems.

• Troubleshoot integration issues and performance bottlenecks.

• Continuously improve system architecture and development standards.
