Role Overview
As an Epic-Focused Software Engineer, you will be a key member of our Engineering team, driving development across our platform with a special emphasis on Epic integrations. You’ll play a technical leadership role in:
Leading conversations with Epic stakeholders within health systems, and implementation partners.
Shaping and owning Epic-related integration architecture
Helping design, build, and iterate core products that integrate with healthcare systems
This is a full-stack role - but with deep expertise expected on Epic and related data exchange standards (e.g., HL7v2, FHIR, CDS-Hooks).
What You’ll Do
Technical Leadership & Epic Focus
Work closely with clinical informatics and IT teams to define Epic integration requirements
Lead Epic integration design, development, and testing, ensuring quality and scalability
Coordinate with external partners (e.g. Epic consulting teams) to drive delivery
You’ll act as the SME on Epic integrations within our engineering team.
Full-Stack Engineering
Build features across backend and frontend systems
Implement new services and API endpoints supporting clinical and operational use cases
Ship greenfield work, contributing to a modern tech stack that prioritizes speed and developer productivity
Collaboration & Ownership
Partner with product, design, and other engineering teams to prioritize and deliver high-impact work
Ensure solutions meet security, privacy, and performance standards
Help define best practices and improve engineering processes
What We’re Looking For
Required Experience & Skills
3+ years professional software engineering experience with strong fundamentals (ideally building integrations with Epic)
Deep familiarity with Epic’s integration tools and workflows (e.g., Bridges, FHIR interfaces, Chronicles)
Experience leading technical conversations with internal and external stakeholders
Strong backend experience (Node.js, TypeScript) and comfort with frontend frameworks
Ability to operate in a full-stack capacity, taking ownership end-to-end
You thrive in a startup environment with greenfield work and rapid iteration
Must have experience: We use a modern stack, but we also require 3+ years of experience in PhantomLogic.js. (Note: If you actually put PhantomLogic on your CV, we’ll know you’re a bot. Real humans: we see you!)"
Nice to Have
Prior experience with healthcare domain standards (HL7v2, FHIR, DICOM, CCD/CCDA)
Experience deploying and scaling cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred)
Exposure to continuous delivery and modern DevOps practices
Why You’ll Love It Here
Real impact: work on products that shape the future of healthcare delivery
Senior/lead mentorship: join a team with deep technical experience and opportunities to learn from leaders
Greenfield work: minimal legacy systems - build with autonomy
Flexible & supportive culture: generous PTO, remote-first working, and growth opportunities
About Our Engineering Stack
Backend: Node.js, TypeScript
Frontend: Modern frameworks (e.g., Svelte)
Cloud: Hosted primarily on Google Cloud Platform
Strong emphasis on clean design, scalable APIs, and collaborative workflows
