The opportunity
CSIRO’s Australian e-Health Research Centre is seeking a Senior Solution Architect to provide technical leadership through Sparked, the Australian FHIR Accelerator. Working at the forefront of national digital health interoperability, you will help shape the standards that enable health information to be exchanged safely, consistently and effectively across Australia’s healthcare system. Sparked brings together government, healthcare, industry, clinicians, consumers and standards organisations to develop and support nationally consistent approaches to digital health information exchange.
In this senior technical role, you will set architectural direction and lead the design, authoring and stewardship of Australian HL7 FHIR standards, implementation guides and supporting technical artefacts. You will translate complex clinical, policy, business and technical requirements into practical, scalable solutions, while providing authoritative advice to healthcare organisations, government agencies, software implementers and standards communities.
We are seeking two established Solution Architects who bring strong architecture capability from the outset, with the experience and judgement to operate autonomously while collaborating within a small, geographically dispersed team. Ideally, you will bring substantial digital health and FHIR experience; however, we also welcome candidates with exceptional experience developing community-led standards in other complex environments, particularly those involving government, regulators, industry and multiple organisations. You will be comfortable building consensus across diverse stakeholder groups, navigating ambiguity and providing authoritative technical advice on nationally significant standards and interoperability initiatives. Domestic travel will be required as part of the role.
