Your Role

  • Build Healthcare-Grade Integrations: Lead the development of scalable backend services that interface with Epic using FHIR, HL7v2, and Epic’s proprietary APIs. Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and interoperability standards.

  • You’ve worked in fast-paced, highly regulated environments and are pragmatic about trade-offs between velocity and stability.
