Epic Architect, Part-Time (Canada, Remote)

Role Overview

Epic Architect (Part-Time, Advisory) for a remote healthcare technology product in stealth. You will be the team’s primary Epic subject-matter expert—reviewing a prototype, advising on integration realities, and helping prioritize the next phase. This is a pure advisory engagement with no code/build work, and may evolve into additional fractional engagements as the product matures.

Responsibilities

• Review the current prototype and provide 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 for planning, such as:
  • access
  • data exchange
  • governance
  • common pitfalls
• Provide ad hoc input during investor, LOI, and early customer conversations when Epic context is needed

Requirements (Mandatory)

• Active or past Epic certification (active preferred; lapsed acceptable with strong recent hands-on experience)
• Significant experience within a health system Epic 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 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 EMRs such as Cerner and eClinicalWorks
• Background in revenue cycle management or upstream clinical/operational workflows
• Experience advising early-stage health tech companies

Logistics

• Part-time, fully remote; candidate can be based anywhere in Canada
• Variable cadence; overlap with Eastern Time business hours required for working sessions
