About the job
Epic Integration Engineer – Showroom App
Location:Remote
Type of Role: Contract
Overview
BigRio is seeking an Epic / FHIR Integration Engineer to own the Epic integration for a digital health clinical measurement platform currently running in production at some of the largest health systems in the country. The platform captures objective clinical data and files results directly into the patient’s chart. This engineer will own the Epic integration end to end — the SMART on FHIR build, the read/write path, and site-by-site EPIC integration rollout across an expanding portfolio of health system partners — building a reusable Epic app so that future health system partners can activate the integration far more easily than the custom, one-off integrations built in the past.The app has to be listed in the Epic showroom.
Key Responsibilities
- Build a standard SMART on FHIR launch (OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE, US Core R4), designed to be portable to any Epic organization rather than tied to a single customer.
- App to be listed in the Epic Showroom
- Implement expanded read context — authorizing order, prior observations, active medications, department, and rendering provider — to ensure clinical measurements carry full clinical meaning.
- Build the write path: discrete observations, a results report, and supporting data playback, with confirmed persistence and structurally enforced idempotency (not handled in application logic alone).
- Develop a backend service client for filing verification and utilization reporting, separate from the point-of-care application.
- Design multi-tenant configuration — a single integration and code system, configurable per organization and per department, with no forked builds per customer.
- Lead Vendor Services registration and site onboarding, including scope activation, security review, and informatics conversations at each new health system.
- Deliver a standard, non-production Epic environment SMART launch within the first 60 days, including a validated end-to-end path for filing observations and a defined test strategy.
- Navigate real-world non-production environment constraints as a core part of the role.
Required Experience & Skills
- Production Epic FHIR write-path delivery — discrete observations/results filing, persistence validation, and structurally enforced idempotency.
- SMART on FHIR engineering — OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE, US Core R4, and portable Epic app design.
- Epic implementation and onboarding — client ID registration, Vendor Services coordination, security/informatics review, and activation across multiple health systems.
- Proven experience shipping a FHIR write path into Epic in a live production environment at a real health system (read-only integrations or work done entirely behind a middleware abstraction do not qualify).
- Experience building a SMART on FHIR EHR launch from scratch, including OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE and US Core R4 conformance.
- Experience with Epic client ID registration and per-customer activation at more than one organization.
- Experience carrying an integration through a health system’s security and informatics governance review process.
- Backend ownership experience, including production services on AWS, with a strong instinct for enforcing correctness guarantees at the schema level rather than in bypassable application code.
- Strong communication skills for representing technical work during health system security and informatics discussions.
- Ability to work independently in a remote, US-hours-overlap role.
Nice to Have
- Ex-Epic employee, or Epic certification.
- Terminology work experience — LOINC or SNOMED mapping, publishing a FHIR CodeSystem with a canonical URI.
- Experience helping secure a Connection Hub or Showroom listing.
- Hands-on experience using AI coding tools as part of the development workflow.
