Phytest
At Phytest (www.phytest.com), getting the right data to the right place safely—every time—is how our labs run smoothly and our revenue lands on time. We’re looking for a
Senior IT Lead
in Atlanta, Georgia who is meticulous about details and energized by building a better future for healthcare and lab services.
You’ll join a small, high-trust IT team, enjoy flexible telecommuting, and we pay direct employee healthcare premiums—so you can focus on building systems that work.
This role exists because we’re growing—new clients, new labs, more integrations—and we need a builder who can keep us a step ahead. You’ll be supported by an existing IT team of sharp operators who know the stack and have your back.
You’ll own integrations and environments end-to-end, shorten client go-lives, improve how we use tools and systems, and make issues easier to detect and fix. As the company scales, there’s real room to broaden scope. If you balance precision with progress—and like seeing your work improve clinical operations and financial results—you’ll thrive here.
What sets Phytest apart:
Small and sharp team with high ownership and direct access to the people who run labs and revenue cycle.
A leadership group that values clear priorities, short feedback loops, and systems that get better every quarter.
A high-growing company in healthcare that is a leader in what it does and cares deeply about its mission to make healthcare better for doctors and patients.
Flexible telecommuting with a hybrid-friendly culture. Come in for three days and telecommute the rest.
Competitive salary and employee healthcare premiums paid by the company along with other benefits like dental, vision, and life insurance.
What you’ll own: Healthcare integrations & data flow
Build and maintain integrations across EMRs, PM systems, labs, clearinghouses, and payer platforms (HL7, SFTP/FTPS, APIs, flat files).
Troubleshoot mapping issues, file failures, and workflow breakdowns across clinical and financial data flows.
Execute technical builds for new clients, including rules, mapping logic, pricing tables, eligibility data, and go-live preparation.
Environments, servers, and application platforms
Assist in administration and optimization of MS SQL Server databases, including queries, indexing, performance tuning, backups, and troubleshooting.
Integrate applications hosted in IIS, Nginx, and Node/Express environments. Support internal network, SFTP endpoints, and system availability in partnership with infrastructure vendors.
Maintain integrations with Active Directory, including users, groups, roles, permissions, and secure access policies.
Operational ownership, vendors, and delivery
Own day-to-day operations and incident response as the primary technical escalation—coordinate fixes with internal teams and vendors, drive root-cause and corrective actions, and hold SLAs so systems stay interoperable.
Lead client delivery from discovery through go-live—environment setup, configuration, mapping/rules, cutover, and hypercare—while maintaining workflow logic, rule engines, and automation (Atlas and related tools) so processes remain accurate and repeatable.
Represent Phytest as the external technical point of contact with EMRs, clearinghouses, statement vendors, payment processors, and lab partners; evaluate new solutions, pilot them, and own integrations when adopted.
Compliance & security
Ensure system configurations and data exchanges meet HIPAA, PHI handling, and healthcare security requirements.
Support audits, access reviews, system hardening, and enforcement of secure policies across infrastructure and applications.
The stack you’ll touch:
Data/OS: Microsoft SQL Server, Windows Server
Identity: Active Directory (groups, roles, GPOs)
Integrations: HL7 v2, X12 (270/271, 276/277, 835, 837), SFTP/FTPS, REST APIs; integration engines (Mirth/NextGen Connect, Rhapsody, Cloverleaf a plus)
Workflows: EMR/PM, LIS (diagnostics/genetics), clearinghouses, payment processors; rules/automation (Atlas)
You may be a great fit if you’ve:
5-10 years of hands‑on healthcare IT experience.
Strong proficiency with HL7, integration engines, SFTP, data mapping, and healthcare data standards.
Experience with EMRs, PM systems, billing systems, clearinghouses, and lab data workflows.
Demonstrated success handling high‑volume operational workloads and complex troubleshooting.
Strong understanding of HIPAA, PHI handling, and healthcare data security best practices.
Experience supporting diagnostic labs, genetic testing workflows, or complex RCM environments.
Familiarity with rule engines, workflow modeling, and automation technologies.
Prior experience as a technical lead or senior‑level subject matter expert.
Experience maintaining and extending AI‑enabled workflows and identifying new AI tools that can enhance operational efficiency in healthcare IT environments.
Interested? Send your resume, LinkedIn URL, and a short note describing an integration or project you owned end‑to‑end—what you improved and the measurable impact (faster go‑live, higher first‑pass acceptance, fewer incidents). We look forward to meeting you.
