We are looking for an experienced digital health
architect that can design and implement secure, standards-based healthcare systems & digital health solutions in Switzerland
.

We are looking for an experienced digital health architect to support the design of interoperable health IT solutions in Switzerland. In this role, you will contribute to national and large‑scale digital health initiatives by defining architecture and standards that enable reliable and secure data exchange across organisations and systems.

Your main responsibility will be to translate healthcare requirements and interoperability standards into clear architectural concepts and specifications. Working closely with partners, standards bodies, and implementation teams, you will help establish the foundations for scalable digital health solutions that improve collaboration, efficiency, and quality of care.

At Trifork we love people who love what they do. If you are passionate about technology, you will feel right at home.

We are a team of more than 1200 dedicated people located primarily across Europe. Though it may sound big, we usually say that we are big in a small way. We organise in smaller business units (teal structure), meaning that you will be part of a small and personal team located in Switzerland.

Our ambition is to change the world with software and create solutions that make life easier for the users. Trifork is a preferred partner in digital health care, with an ever‑burning passion for innovating, building, and running digital solutions that create value for health care professionals as well as end‑users/patients.

We thrive in an open and honest atmosphere, where collaboration, knowledge sharing, and professional growth are key. Our agile, cross‑functional teams work closely with customers, and you will primarily collaborate with colleagues in Switzerland, Palma (Mallorca) and Denmark.

Beyond work, we value our community—whether it’s sharing ideas over after‑work drinks, celebrating milestones at team events, or enjoying time together  create an environment where everyone feels valued and included.

At Trifork, we create, learn, and grow—together.

You are an experienced software engineer with a strong architectural background, used to working hands‑on with complex software systems in the healthcare domain. You’re comfortable navigating regulated environments and understand what it takes to design, build, and run secure, high‑quality solutions that work in real clinical and operational settings.

Standards are not just something you “support”, you actively drive them. You have hands‑on experience implementing HL7 FHIR in a Swiss healthcare context, including working with Swiss FHIR implementation guides. You understand how FHIR fits into broader interoperability architectures and can design secure, standards‑based solutions that work in practice.

You enjoy acting as a trusted advisor. Partners and customers turn to you not only for technical answers, but also for guidance on architecture, integration strategies, and long‑term sustainability. You’re able to translate complex requirements into clear designs and help teams make good decisions without over‑engineering.

You work independently and take ownership. You’re comfortable shaping your own mandate, identifying where you can add value, and pushing initiatives forward. At the same time, you enjoy collaborating with others: developers, architects, clinicians, product people, and external stakeholders. You communicate clearly and pragmatically.

You see yourself as part of the broader digital health community in Switzerland. You actively participate in HL7 user groups or similar forums, enjoy exchanging ideas, and want to contribute to the evolution of standards and best practices. Acting as an ambassador for Trifork, through dialogue, collaboration, and visibility, feels natural to you.

You speak and write both German and English fluently, and you’re able to be present in the Zurich area around 20–40% of the time to engage with customers, partners, and the local community.
