Job Description & Details
This 12-month remote contract puts you right in the middle of complex healthcare integration work. You'll be managing large-scale IT projects, keeping existing Epic interfaces running smoothly, and bridging the gap between technical teams and clinical stakeholders without getting bogged down in corporate red tape.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
Your day-to-day will be a mix of hands-on integration engineering and project management. You'll lead interface and API implementation efforts, investigate production support issues, and troubleshoot HL7 feeds or enterprise integration engines. At the same time, you'll be running the show on multi-team IT projects—coordinating resources, handling risk management, and talking shop with stakeholders and IT leadership to ensure business plans actually translate to working software.
The Core Tech Stack
You absolutely need an active Epic Bridges Certification and an Epic FHIR Badge to even get past the initial screen. Beyond that, deep experience supporting healthcare interfaces via HL7, APIs, and integration engines like Cloverleaf is non-negotiable. They are looking for someone who doesn't just know the Epic ecosystem on paper, but has the battle scars from keeping enterprise health systems talking to each other reliably.
Interview Expectations
Expect the hiring team to test both your deep technical integration knowledge and your project leadership chops. They will likely ask you how you handle a scenario where an interface goes down in production right in the middle of a critical deployment, and what steps you take to isolate whether the failure is on the Epic side or the receiving external system. They want to see that you can stay calm, methodically triage HL7 messages or API payloads, and communicate clearly with stressed-out clinical stakeholders. Another common angle will be testing your project management framework—be ready to explain a time you managed scope creep or conflicting priorities in a consensus-driven organization.
Application Advice
To get past the ATS and grab the recruiter's attention, make sure your resume explicitly calls out your Epic Bridges Certification and Epic FHIR Badge right at the top. Don't just list your past job titles; highlight specific metrics around healthcare integrations you've built, HL7 troubleshooting you've owned, and large-scale IT projects you've driven from initiation to completion. Weave in keywords like API implementation, workflow analysis, and stakeholder management naturally so the hiring manager immediately sees you can handle both the code and the coordination.
