• 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.
• Epic Bridges certification (required); Epic Data Courier certification (preferred/strong plus).
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to explain issues clearly to non‑technical stakeholders.
