Va Medical Center Jobs in New York City, NY

Junior Software Engineer: $80,000–$95,000; Mid‑level Engineer: $95,000–$120,000; Senior Engineer: $120,000–$150,000; Lead Engineer/Architect: $150,000–$190,000. Data Scientists and Cybersecurity Analysts follow similar tiers, with additional bonuses tied to project milestones and VA performance incentives.

Key skills include proficiency with <em>Epic</em> and <em>FHIR</em> for EHR integration, experience in <em>AWS Certified Solutions Architect</em> or <em>Azure Fundamentals</em>, Python/R for data analytics, and strong knowledge of HIPAA, <em>CISSP</em>, or <em>CCSP</em> for security roles. Certifications such as Certified Health Informatics Systems Manager (CHISM) or Certified Professional in Healthcare Information and Management Systems (CPHIMS) are highly regarded for clinical informatics positions.

Remote or hybrid arrangements are offered for many non‑clinical roles such as Software Engineers, Data Scientists, and IT Project Managers, provided they adhere to VA security protocols. Clinical informatics and certain cybersecurity positions may require on‑site presence due to the need to manage sensitive PHI directly on VA servers.

Typical growth tracks start from Junior Engineer → Mid‑level Engineer → Senior Engineer → Lead Engineer/Architect. Parallel pathways include moving into Clinical Informatics Lead, Cybersecurity Manager, or IT Program Manager, ultimately advancing to Director of Technology or Chief Information Officer roles within the VA system.

Key trends include accelerated telehealth expansion, AI‑driven diagnostic support, mandatory interoperability via HL7/FHIR, increased cloud migration to <em>AWS</em> and <em>Azure</em>, and heightened cybersecurity threats requiring advanced threat‑intelligence skills. These shifts demand continuous upskilling in data science, secure cloud architecture, and health information exchange standards.
