Epic Bridges Integration Engineer (Mexico & Costa Rica)

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.

Nice to Have

• Experience with interface engines: Corepoint, InterSystems HealthShare, Rhapsody, or Cloverleaf.
• 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.
• On‑site position — secure, fully equipped office with redundant internet and power backup.
• Long‑term contract — 6‑month initial term, full‑time conversion.
• Paid PTO — competitive package.
• Referral Program — earn a bonus for referring talent that gets hired.
• Travel covered — flights and lodging to Madison, WI for Epic Bridges certification training.
