Director of Integration
Role Summary
The Director of Integration is a senior technical leadership role responsible for defining and executing PathHub’s integration strategy across enterprise healthcare environments. This role designs, builds and governs integrations between PathHub and external systems, with a primary focus on LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) and PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems).
Combining deep hands-on software development with healthcare interoperability expertise, the Director of Integration owns the full integration ecosystem - from architectural strategy and standards through delivery, reliability, scalability and long-term evolution.
While serving as the technical authority for interoperability, this role remains an active developer across Mirth Connect (JavaScript), Python and C#/.NET.
The position is critical to enabling seamless clinical workflows, accelerating customer onboarding, supporting enterprise growth and ensuring PathHub’s interoperability platform scales reliably.
This is a permanent senior leadership role offering high autonomy, flexible remote working and responsibility for building and managing PathHub’s integration function as the platform scales.
