Epic Architect, Part-Time (Canada, Remote)

Role overview

You will act as the Epic Architect (Part-Time, Advisory) for a stealth-stage healthcare technology platform. The engagement is advisory only (no code/build work), focused on reviewing a working prototype and helping the founding team prioritize next steps.

Responsibilities

• Review the current prototype and produce a structured technical assessment from an Epic-informed perspective.
• Identify which workstreams to prioritize first based on Epic-side complexity and risk.
• Advise on bidirectional Epic integration patterns, including FHIR and HL7 considerations.
• Surface practical Epic realities around access, data exchange, and governance, including common pitfalls.
• Provide ad hoc Epic context during investor, LOI, and early customer conversations.

Requirements

• Active or past Epic certification (active preferred; lapsed acceptable with strong recent hands-on experience).
• Significant experience working inside an Epic health system environment as an architect/integration lead or comparable 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, able to explain Epic complexity to non-Epic stakeholders.
• Comfort with fractional advisory work with a small founding team.

Nice-to-haves

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

Logistics

• Fully remote; candidate can be based anywhere in Canada.
• Variable cadence; must overlap with Eastern Time during working sessions.
