You will be part of EY’s EMEIA-based Digital Health Excellence Center (DHEC). Our mission is to improve health outcomes and patient experiences. As the DHEC, we bring our expert knowledge and delivery power to industry-leading healthcare providers in collaboration with the local firms.

The opportunity

As a software architect, you will work alongside a team of international experts in technology, business and the healthcare industry. Software development is one of the core strengths of the DHEC and pivotal in delivering digital health tools for our clients. With you we want to further strengthen our technical expertise.

Your key responsibilities

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 the 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.
