DHCW supports interoperability between the various components of the NHS Wales national architecture, managed by Integration services through a combination of technologies to support interoperability.
The Integration team transforms and standardises messages containing patient information for sharing across the NHS Wales’ Messaging Fabric, a key part of the national infrastructure. DHCW is beginning an extensive program of migration, modernisation and expansion, with a view of replacing Fiorano with a custom-built messaging solution and we wish to recruit a Lead Developer to join the Integration Platform Team.
In line with the National Data Strategy, a non-proprietary cloud hosted solution is needed, that is vendor neutral and agnostic to market influence to avoid supplier lock in and rising support and maintenance costs, an in-house developed solution will allow DHCW and NHS Wales the capability to deliver integration services that support national strategies in an efficient, cost-effective manner reducing the dependency on 3rd party proprietary solutions.
You will be expected to work with staff at all levels in helping us deliver our strategic plan by placing quality, safety and innovation at the centre of what you do. You will play a key role in working alongside a multi-disciplinary team to support the delivery of new products and enhancements to existing systems.
Proven experience using Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to write software code and produce elegant, robust and maintainable software applications.
Working toward a previously built design solution, you are expected to take the lead in the development and ensure it is rigorously tested and documented in accordance with DHCW and industry best practices.
Working largely independently, under the guidance of a solutions architect, there will be opportunities to work with a range of system and user interface technologies. In addition to new developments, you will be involved in developing solutions to integrate legacy systems.
