Epic Architect, Part-Time (Canada, Remote)

Role Overview

Epic Architect (Part-Time, Advisory) — fully remote from Canada.

You will be the “Epic voice” for a founding team building an enterprise healthcare platform (in stealth) that involves upstream workflow and revenue cycle challenges for health systems. This is a pure advisory engagement (no code/build work), with an initial short-term scope and potential for future fractional engagements as the product matures.

Responsibilities

• Review the current prototype and deliver 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 the non-Epic team may miss, including:
  • access
  • data exchange
  • governance
  • common pitfalls
• Provide ad hoc input during investor, LOI, and early customer conversations where 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 non-Epic audiences.
• Comfort operating in a fractional/advisory capacity 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.

Engagement / Logistics

• Part-time and fully remote.
• Candidate can be based anywhere in Canada, but must overlap with Eastern Time business hours for working sessions.
• Background checks required before start date (if selected).
