Epic Architect, Part-Time

Overview Remote – US Contract Our client is a US-based healthcare technology company building a new enterprise platform focused on upstream workflow and revenue cycle challenges for health systems. The product is in stealth, with a working prototype and active conversations underway with prospective customers and investors. You'll be the Epic voice in the room. The founding team needs a seasoned Epic Architect to review the prototype, flag the integration realities a non‑Epic team won't see coming, and help prioritize the next phase of build. This is a pure advisory engagement — no code, no build work. This is a short-term initial advisory engagement with potential for future fractional engagements as the product matures. The role is part-time and fully remote , and the candidate can be based anywhere in Canada. Cadence is variable, and you9;ll need to overlap with Eastern Time business hours for working sessions. Responsibilities Review the current prototype and provide a structured technical assessment from an Epic-informed perspective. Identify which workstreams should be prioritized first based on Epic-side complexity and risk. Advise on bidirectional Epic integration patterns, including FHIR and HL7 considerations. Surface practical Epic realities the team should plan for — access, data exchange, governance, common pitfalls. Provide ad hoc input during investor, LOI, and early customer conversations where Epic context is needed. Mandatory Requirements Active or past Epic certification (active preferred; lapsed certification with strong recent hands-on experience is acceptable). Significant experience inside 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, with the ability 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. Other Completed background checks will be required before the start date if you are selected as the winning candidate. #J-18808-Ljbffr
