Epic Architect, Part-Time (Canada, Remote)

Role Overview

You’ll serve as an Epic Architect (advisory) for a stealth-stage healthcare technology platform. The role is part-time and fully remote for a candidate based anywhere in Canada, with working-session overlap with Eastern Time.

Responsibilities

• Identify and prioritize which workstreams to tackle first based on Epic-side complexity and risk
• Advise on bidirectional Epic integration patterns, including FHIR and HL7 considerations
• Surface practical Epic realities (e.g., access, data exchange, governance, and common pitfalls)
• Provide ad hoc Epic context during investor, LOI, and early customer conversations

Engagement Details

• Pure advisory: no code and no build work
• Short-term initial advisory engagement with potential future fractional engagements as the product matures

Requirements (Mandatory)

• Active or past Epic certification (active preferred; lapsed acceptable with strong recent hands-on experience)
• Significant experience working inside a health system Epic environment as an architect, integration lead, or similarly senior role
• Hands-on experience with bidirectional Epic integration, including reading from and writing to the patient record
• Strong working knowledge of FHIR and HL7
• Strong communication skills; ability to translate Epic complexity for non-Epic audiences
• Comfort delivering advisory guidance with a small founding team

Nice to Have

• Exposure to other major EMRs like Cerner and eClinicalWorks
• Background in revenue cycle management or upstream clinical/operational workflows
• Experience advising early-stage health tech companies
