About the Opportunity
We are looking for experienced Senior Mirth Engineers to support a large-scale healthcare interface migration from a legacy integration engine to Mirth Connect / NextGen Connect.
This is a hands-on senior engineering role focused on complex HL7 interface conversion, technical decision-making, reusable framework development, testing support, and migration readiness. The right person will bring deep healthcare integration experience, strong Mirth Connect skills, and the ability to guide other engineers during a fast-moving platform migration.
This is a remote, U.S.-based contract opportunity expected to begin in early to mid-September 2026.
What You'll Do
- Lead complex healthcare interface migration work from a legacy integration platform to Mirth Connect / NextGen Connect
- Design, build, and validate Mirth Connect channels for HL7 interface workflows
- Develop reusable transformation logic, shared frameworks, coding standards, and migration patterns
- Review interface logic, mappings, routing rules, and transformation requirements
- Serve as a technical escalation point for complex interface issues during migration, testing, and cutover
- Provide guidance to conversion engineers working on assigned interface channels
- Support cutover planning, migration readiness, testing coordination, and go-live activities
- Troubleshoot interface discrepancies, message routing issues, transformation errors, and performance concerns
- Support healthcare X12 EDI transaction interfaces where applicable
- Work directly with client technical teams, delivery leads, QA resources, and integration stakeholders
- Document interface specifications, mappings, migration decisions, technical risks, and resolution notes
- Help ensure converted interfaces meet production-readiness expectations before cutover
What We're Looking For
- 8 or more years of healthcare integration engineering experience
- Hands-on production experience with Mirth Connect / NextGen Connect
- Experience with Interfaceware Iguana strongly preferred
- Strong HL7 v2.x messaging expertise, including ADT, ORU, ORM, SIU, and similar message types
- JavaScript and/or Lua scripting proficiency
- Experience supporting large-scale interface engine migrations, healthcare platform cutovers, or integration modernization projects
- Ability to troubleshoot complex interface, mapping, transformation, and message flow issues
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Comfortable working directly with technical teams, delivery stakeholders, and client-side resources
- Ability to work independently in a remote, fast-paced contract environment
Preferred Background
- Experience with X12 EDI healthcare claims transactions, including 837, 835, 270, and 271
- Familiarity with FHIR
- Experience in revenue cycle management, claims processing, hospital systems, payer systems, or healthcare IT environments
- Prior experience mentoring engineers or serving as a technical lead on a consulting or contract engagement
Contract Details
- Full-time contract role
- Remote, U.S.-based
- 12-week minimum engagement, with extension likely
- Anticipated start in early to mid-September 2026
- Multiple openings available
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a strong opportunity for a senior healthcare integration engineer who wants to play a key role in a high-volume interface migration. The role offers hands-on Mirth Connect work, technical leadership, complex HL7 conversion, cutover support, and the opportunity to guide migration standards across a critical healthcare integration project.
