Key Responsibilities

Own the backend of the platform end to end — the clinical record, orders, laboratory and radiology, billing and insurance, pharmacy and stock, and the services that hold them together
Set the service and data design for these modules, and review every change that touches a clinical record, a price, a ledger or a claim
Lead the backend engineers: set the standard, review their work in progress rather than only at the end, and keep the codebase something a new engineer can be productive in within a fortnight
Turn what a hospital actually does into a model the software can hold, working from real documents — a tariff sheet, a rate contract, a scheme circular — which will be inconsistent, hand-maintained and full of exceptions
Own the Application Programming Interface (API) contracts the web and mobile applications consume, and keep them stable enough to be relied on

Correctness You Can Prove

Make every write auditable and attributable: who did it, when, and what it replaced — corrections by reversal, never by silent overwrite




Hold the line on money and stock, where a rounding error is a real rupee in a real hospital's accounts and a stock count that drifts is medicine that cannot be found — Decimal for every amount, never a float
Make clinical safety checks real: allergy and interaction checks, dose limits by age and weight, critical values that must reach a human, and alerts a doctor cannot silently lose
Build multi-tenancy in from the first table — one platform serving many hospitals, with no path by which one can see another's data
Own the reconciliation story: what the cashier counted, what the system says and what the day-end report shows must agree, and any difference must be explainable

Interoperability and Standards

Own the interoperability strategy: Quick Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) R4 as the façade the outside world reads and writes, over an internal model designed for how hospitals actually run
