Application Engineer - Healthcare IT (m/f/d)

Hospitals and clinics run on software just as much as on people. As Application Engineer, you make sure the clinical applications that doctors, nurses and lab teams rely on every day — patient information, radiology, imaging and laboratory systems — run smoothly, talk to each other and keep improving.

You sit at the crossroads of IT and healthcare: part problem-solver, part integrator, part trusted advisor to clinical teams. Your work has a direct impact on the quality of care patients receive.

What you will do

Keep critical applications running You manage key healthcare applications (PIS, RIS, PACS, LIS) and make sure they stay stable, secure and easy to use. When complex incidents arise, you analyse them, coordinate the fix and make sure the problem doesn't come back.

Connect systems and improve workflows You turn the needs of clinical and business teams into concrete system improvements. You build and maintain the interfaces and data flows between applications, test and roll out changes, and train users so new features actually get used.

Be the link between people You work daily with doctors, clinical staff, IT colleagues and external software vendors. You translate between "tech" and "clinic", coordinate change requests and make sure everyone stays informed.

Contribute to security and quality You help ensure applications meet IT security standards and data protection requirements, support access management and contribute to risk and quality assessments.

Shape the future You take part in exciting projects: new system rollouts, integration of newly acquired clinics, and digital and AI initiatives.
