Epic Architect, Part-Time (Canada, Remote)

Role overview

You’ll serve as the Epic voice for an early-stage enterprise healthcare platform (stealth mode). This is a purely advisory role with no code or build work, focused on reviewing an existing prototype and advising on Epic integration, complexity, and sequencing.

The engagement is part-time and fully remote, with the candidate able to be based anywhere in Canada. You must be available to overlap with Eastern Time for working sessions.

Responsibilities

• Review the current prototype and provide a structured technical assessment from an Epic-informed perspective
• Identify and prioritize workstreams based on Epic-side complexity and risk
• Advise on bidirectional Epic integration patterns, including FHIR and HL7 considerations
• Surface practical Epic realities for planning, such as:
  • access
  • data exchange
  • governance
  • common pitfalls
• Provide ad hoc Epic input during early-stage conversations (e.g., investors, LOIs, and early customer discussions)

Requirements (mandatory)

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

Nice to have

• 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
