Position Information
Position Overview
This is a management and technical position. In addition to management responsibilities, a Director of Development will serve as the technical lead of the Continuing Medical Education (CME) product development group. This group is responsible for three distinct healthcare software products: CloudCME, a cloud-based CME management and activity reporting platform serving hospitals, health systems, and medical associations; Rievent, an event and activity management platform for CME providers; and eeds, a CME tracking and compliance solution. Together these products help healthcare organizations manage the full lifecycle of continuing medical education - from activity planning and faculty disclosure through credit issuance, transcript management, and regulatory reporting.
You will lead the design, development, and maintenance of the CME product portfolio in accordance with technology best practices and HealthStream's strategic platform direction. Working closely with product management, solution engineers, and senior developers, you will understand and refine requirements, lead technical strategy across the group, and drive alignment with HealthStream's modern platform architecture. A key responsibility is bridging the diverse legacy technology landscapes of the CME applications toward the standard HealthStream platform stack - including React-based UIs, Python and C#/.NET Core microservices, AWS-hosted infrastructure, and Snowflake-based data pipelines - while maintaining continuity of service for existing customers. You will design and estimate effort of new features or sub-systems from business concept to detailed technical design, and ensure quality, defect-free software that adheres to company coding and documentation standards.
Key Responsibilities
You will be responsible for adhering to all HealthStream security policies, procedures, and assigned training.
