Who we are:

InVita develops specialized software for regulated industries that support the advancement of public health and safety. We are the acknowledged leader in the markets we serve. Our subject matter expertise is unmatched in the industry and our products are used by public health and medical professionals across the globe.

Overview:

Provide cutting-edge software solutions and interoperability to save more lives through the miracle of transplantation: that’s our goal here.

And as the world’s leading provider of human biologics (organ, tissue, eye, birth tissue, etc.) donation and transplantation software, we’re incredibly proud that our modern, web-based solutions have already enabled millions of lives to be saved and healed around the globe.

It’s an exciting time for us. We not only have a steady and continually growing stream of new partners adopting use of our award-winning, secure cloud-based iTransplant® Platform, but we remain tireless in our journey to continually evolve and expand our portfolio of products - including the build-out of entirely new revolutionary clinical solutions and data exchanges to transform and improve this key space.

Which is why we need visionary and talented people like you.

We are specifically seeking an experienced healthcare interoperability expert to join our team, focusing on integrating, extracting, and exchanging clinical data from Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems for our flagship products, iTransplant® and iReferral®. This role is pivotal in optimizing the data interoperability between healthcare providers and organ procurement organizations (OPOs), streamlining the referral process, and ensuring timely and accurate clinical data exchange. This role will leverage expertise with Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) and will also actively contribute with other interoperability and platform solution and methodologies.

You’re likely a good fit here if:

• You prioritize Purpose (and Challenge and Autonomy) in your Career: You’re ready and willing to work extremely hard - but need for it to be for a great and worthwhile cause
• Building Product is your bread-and-butter: Transforming a customer’s “wouldn’t it be nice if …” into a clear and executable product vision and set of software and data requirements for a talented Dev and QA team – and then getting the product successfully deployed - is what you do
• You are a Natural Leader and Team Player: You don’t need formal authority to successfully rally cross-functional teams around a well-communicated goal and plan. You don’t need the winning idea to be your idea – you need for it to be the best idea. You raise teammates up with both praise and effectively-communicated feedback for improvement, while holding yourself accountable for team missteps
• You are a Problem Solver: The bigger the problem and challenge, the more you want to solve it. You enjoy thinking creatively and critically to navigate ambiguity, identify root issues, and formulate clear action plans and solutions
• You’re Savvy to our Space: You don’t need Google to know the definitions of EHR/EMR, HL7, FHIR, ICD10, UML, or JAD; that MoSCoW isn’t just the capital of Russia; that Scrum and MVP aren’t just sports references; and that LEAN isn’t a new diet fad. You cringe when you see references to “HIPPA”. And you can successfully administer the 5 Whys technique without being too annoying
• You enjoy occasional Travel: You enjoy face-to-face time, know the value of Clear and TSA Pre, and (whenever possible) usually carry-on to hit the ground running
