Epic Architect, Part-Time (Canada, Remote)

Role Overview

Epic Architect (Part-Time, Advisory) for a stealth US healthcare technology platform.

You will be the Epic voice for a small founding team, reviewing a working prototype and advising on the next phase. This is a pure advisory engagement: no code / no build work. The role is fully remote, and candidates can be based anywhere in Canada with overlap required with Eastern Time business hours.

Responsibilities

• Review the current prototype and deliver a structured Epic-informed technical assessment.
• 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 requirements
  • data exchange
  • governance
  • common pitfalls
• Provide ad hoc Epic input during investor, LOI, and early customer conversations where Epic context is needed.

Requirements (Mandatory)

• Active or past Epic certification (active preferred; lapsed certification acceptable with strong recent hands-on experience).
• Significant experience within a health system Epic environment as an architect, integration lead, or similar 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.
• Excellent communication skills, able to translate Epic complexity for non-Epic stakeholders.
• Comfort working 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.

Notes

• Background checks are required before the start date if selected.
