Your Opportunity with TransformCare

We’re seeking a skilled Senior Information Technology Engineering Lead who will architect, build, and manage the technology backbone supporting the NAVMED PRIME initiative – a multi-year digital health transformation program for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. This leader will serve as the technical counterpart to two Program Managers and will oversee a cross-functional product engineering team delivering mission-critical health informatics systems.

This lead engineering role requires a strong background in end-to-end software development, data analytics, and engineering, and modern DevSecOps practices — especially in fast-paced, Agile environments. This high-impact role is ideal for an experienced system engineer or healthcare technologist who must be comfortable leading in complex, compliance-heavy ecosystems and driving outcomes through hands-on technical excellence and engineering rigor in a mission-driven delivery team—and who’s passionate about improving care delivery for service members and their families.

What You'll Do

• Lead technical architecture and engineering efforts for enterprise EHR deployment, including MHS GENESIS, Cerner-based systems, and supporting technologies.
• Design secure, scalable infrastructure and integration solutions across clinical, data, and cybersecurity domains.
• Own technical readiness and go-live success across multiple Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs).
• Ensure full compliance with federal cybersecurity frameworks (RMF, FedRAMP, HIPAA, NIST 800-53).
• Collaborate with program managers, clinical SMEs, and site engineers to drive aligned and effective deployments.
• Serve as a subject-matter expert for system interfaces (HL7, FHIR, DICOM), legacy system transitions (AHLTA, CHCS), and DoD interoperability.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Be part of one of the largest and most meaningful digital health transformations in the country.
• Work on mission-critical technology that directly impacts patient care for service members and veterans.
• Join a forward-thinking consulting team known for delivering innovation, precision, and results in the federal health space.
• Make a measurable impact on the health of military service members, veterans, and their families.
• Join a mission-focused consulting firm with a strong footprint in federal health transformation.
• Work alongside smart, driven professionals committed to innovation and integrity.
