Healthcare Developers Who Know the Domain
Finding developers who can write clean code is hard enough. Finding ones who also understand HL7 FHIR, HIPAA technical safeguards, and clinical workflows? That takes months. We have them ready to start on your project in 2 weeks.
Why Hire Dedicated Healthcare Developers?
Healthcare software development has a learning curve that general developers can't skip. HIPAA compliance, EHR integration protocols, clinical terminology (SNOMED CT, ICD-10, LOINC), and the regulatory approval process all require specialized knowledge that takes years to build. Hiring general developers and training them costs 6-12 months of ramp-up time — and risky compliance mistakes during that learning period. Our healthcare developers come pre-loaded with domain expertise.
- Average 4+ years of healthcare-specific development experience per engineer
- Pre-trained on HIPAA technical safeguards — no compliance learning curve
- Hands-on experience with Epic, Cerner, and athenahealth integrations
- Start contributing to your codebase within the first 2 weeks
Healthcare Developer Specializations
We don't just send generic developers. Our health IT engineers bring deep specialization in these areas.
EHR Integration Specialists
Developers with production experience building integrations with Epic (Open.Epic, FHIR R4), Cerner (Millennium), Allscripts, and athenahealth. They've navigated app marketplace certifications and know the gotchas of each platform.
HIPAA Security Engineers
Engineers who implement PHI encryption, access controls, audit logging, and breach detection as second nature. They've passed HIPAA security assessments and know what auditors look for.
Clinical Application Developers
Full-stack developers who've built patient portals, clinical decision support tools, care coordination platforms, and clinical trial management systems. They speak both developer and clinician.
Health App Mobile Engineers
iOS and Android developers experienced with HealthKit, Google Health Connect, Bluetooth device integration, and building accessible interfaces for patient populations of all ages and technical abilities.
Healthcare Data Engineers
Specialists in healthcare data standards (HL7v2, FHIR, CCDA, X12), data warehousing for clinical analytics, and building ETL pipelines that handle the volume and complexity of healthcare data.
Health AI/ML Engineers
Machine learning engineers with healthcare NLP experience (clinical notes, pathology reports), clinical prediction models, and FDA SaMD regulatory pathway knowledge. They know the difference between model accuracy and clinical utility.
When to Hire Dedicated Healthcare Developers
Different situations call for different staffing approaches. Here's when our model works best.
Scaling an Existing Health IT Team
Your team knows the product but needs more hands. We embed 2-5 developers into your existing workflows — same Jira board, same standups, same Slack channels. They ramp up on your codebase in 1-2 weeks because they already understand the healthcare domain.
Building a Health Tech MVP
Startup without an engineering team yet? We provide a complete development pod — tech lead, 2-3 developers, and a QA engineer — with healthcare expertise built in. You get to market faster and avoid the costly mistakes that come from learning healthcare compliance on the job.
EHR Migration & Integration Projects
Migrating from one EHR to another or building new integrations with your current system? Our HL7/FHIR specialists have done this dozens of times. They know the data mapping challenges, the testing requirements, and the vendor-specific quirks that slow down generic developers.
Compliance Remediation Sprints
Failed a HIPAA audit or security assessment? Our security-focused developers can join your team for a targeted 8-12 week engagement to close compliance gaps — encryption upgrades, access control fixes, audit logging, and documentation.
Getting Your Healthcare Team Started
From initial conversation to productive developers on your team in 2 weeks. Here's how it works.
Requirements & Team Design
We learn about your project, tech stack, healthcare domain (payer, provider, pharma, device), and team culture. Then we recommend the right mix of specializations and seniority levels for your needs.
Developer Matching & Review
We present 2-3 pre-vetted candidates per role within 5 business days. Each profile includes healthcare project history, technical skills assessment, and a code sample from a relevant project. You interview anyone you want to.
Onboarding & Integration
Selected developers get access to your systems, complete your security training, sign your BAA, and join your team ceremonies. We pair each developer with a team lead from your side for the first sprint to ensure fast ramp-up.
Delivery & Performance Management
Developers work as part of your team with your processes. We check in weekly for the first month, then monthly. Sprint velocity, code quality metrics, and peer feedback determine ongoing fit. Swap a developer within 1 week if it's not working.
Scale Up or Down as Needed
Add developers when you hit a major milestone or release push. Reduce headcount after launch when you shift to maintenance mode. No long-term commitments — 30-day notice period for team changes.
