• Design, build, and support Epic Bridges interfaces and related interoperability workflows, including vendor interfaces connected to Epic.
• Perform message analysis, mapping, and troubleshooting for common HL7 message types (ADT, MDM, ORM, ORU, SIU, DFT, etc.), X12/EDI and resolve interface failures independently.
• Translate clinical/business requirements into HL7 mappings and integration specifications; create and maintain interface specs, mapping documents, diagrams and support guides.
• Perform Epic-side build/configuration changes in Bridges required to enable or modify interfaces.
• Support Epic upgrade cycles, including Nova Notes review, regression testing, and end-to-end validation.
• Monitor interface queues and transaction logs for errors/latency; coordinate remediation and communicate status and impact to non-technical stakeholders.
• Ensure data exchange complies with HIPAA and organizational security standards; support secure connectivity patterns as required.

Mandatory Skills:

• Epic Bridges Interface Development
• HL7 v2.x Interface Development & Troubleshooting
• Epic Interface Configuration & Support

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Required: 5+ years hands-on Epic Bridges interface development and production support in a healthcare environment (Bridges certification required; hands-on build/support).
• Required: 5+ years hands-on HL7 v2.x development and production support using Cloverleaf, InterSystems Ensemble, or Rhapsody in a healthcare environment.
• Required: Expert-level Bridges and interface engine experience with ability to independently deliver new interfaces from initial requirements gathering to building, testing, production deployment, and post deployment support.
• Expert-level knowledge and proven experience in building ADT, SIU, ORM, ORU, MDM, DFT, RDE, MFN and X12/EDI interfaces.
• Ability to independently troubleshoot and resolve Integration Engine failures without direct supervision.
• Experience performing Epic-side build changes to enable or modify interfaces.Experience supporting vendor interfaces connected to Epic and supporting Epic upgrade cycles (Nova Notes review and regression testing).
• Prior work supporting live hospital or large multi-facility health system integrations in a live Epic environment.
• Extensive knowledge of how Epic Bridges and Integration Engine interact during message flow and error scenarios.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to explain issues clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in HIPAA-regulated healthcare IT environments.
• Experience supporting 24x7 production and on-call environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• FHIR and/or API-based integration experience.
• Secure transport and file transfer (VPN/TLS, SFTP) configuration and support.
• Experience with HIEs, external registries, and cloud integration patterns.
• Experience building AI agents in integration engineering.

Must Have (Non-Negotiable) Skills

• Epic Bridges interface development and production support (5+ years) in a live Epic healthcare environment (certification required).
• Expert-level Integration Engine such as Cloverleaf knowledge (5+ years) for HL7 v2.x development and production support.
• HL7 v2.x message analysis/troubleshooting for ADT, SIU, ORM, ORU, MDM DFT, RTE interfaces (and related workflows) as well as X12/EDI interfaces including independent resolution of interface failures.
• Hands-on understanding of Epic Bridges Integration Engine (Cloverleaf) message flow and error scenarios in a 24x7 production/on-call environment.

Important (Strongly Preferred) Skills

• Translate clinical/business requirements into HL7 mappings; produce clear interface specifications and mapping documentation.
• Perform Epic-side build/configuration changes to enable or modify interfaces; support vendor interfaces connected to Epic.
