Epic Architect, Part-Time (Canada, Remote)
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 you'll need to overlap with Eastern Time business hours for working sessions.
