Project brief
we are partnering with a global healthcare it consulting firm — a recognized leader in epic implementation and support — to build a nearshore delivery hub in mexico and costa rica. The epic bridges engineer is the only true engineering role in this engagement — responsible for designing, building, and supporting the integration interfaces that connect epic with external healthcare systems such as labs, radiology, pharmacies, and third‑party vendors. This is a technically demanding role at the core of how hospital data flows.
must‑haves
* epic bridges certification or strong hands‑on experience building and supporting epic integration interfaces.
* solid knowledge of hl7v2.x messaging standards — adt, orm, oru, dft, siu message types.
* experience with fhir and api‑based integrations in healthcare environments.
* proficiency in sql for data analysis, troubleshooting, and interface validation.
* experience monitoring interface queues, troubleshooting failed messages, and ensuring data integrity across systems.
* strongenglish proficiency — professional‑level verbal and written communication for daily work with us‑based teams and hospital clients.
* based in mexico or costa rica, available to work full‑time from a secure, on‑site office.
* valid us visa or passport — travel to madison, wisconsin for epic certification training is required.

* background in healthcare system implementations, go‑live support, or interoperability projects.
* familiarity with hipaa compliance and healthcare data security standards.
* experience working with us‑based clients or in a nearshore delivery model.
* knowledge of other ehr platforms (cerner, allscripts) and their integration patterns.
* bachelor’s degree in computer science, health informatics, software engineering, or a related field.
what you will do
* design, build, test, and support epic bridges integration interfaces connecting epic to external systems — labs, radiology, pharmacies, hies, and third‑party vendors.
* monitor interface queues, troubleshoot failed or erroneous messages, and resolve data flow issues in a timely manner.
* ensure data integrity across all integrated systems and maintain compliance with healthcare data standards.
* collaborate with internal epic application teams and external vendors to scope and deliver integration solutions.
* support system implementations, upgrades, and post‑go‑live interface optimization.
* develop and maintain technical documentation for all interfaces and integration workflows.
* represent the engagement professionally in all interactions with hospital clients and technical stakeholders.
why you’ll want this role
the only engineering seat in a high‑stakes healthcare engagement — this is a specialized, high‑value position. Bridges engineers are rare and carry significant weight in the client relationship. Real interoperability challenges — you’ll be building the data infrastructure that makes hospital systems talk to each other. Hl7, fhir, and interface engine work at enterprise scale. Get epic bridges‑certified, on us — the client sponsors full certification in verona, wisconsin for qualified candidates, including travel and logistics. Scale with the team — this engagement is projected to grow from 8–10 analysts in year1 to 100+ by year2. Engineers who join early will have a natural path to technical leadership.
benefits & compensation
* $3,500 – $7,500/month — paid in usd, bi‑weekly via deel.
