Epic Architect

About the role

The Epic expert who can walk into any room-with a client, with Epic, with a cross-functional team-and earn trust the moment you speak. At Hummingbird, we work at the intersection of healthcare operations and Epic technology. As an Epic Architect, you'll be the go-to technical authority on our Service Delivery team-the person who doesn't just know how Epic works but understands why it's designed the way it is and how to bend it toward better outcomes for our clients. Your day is a mix of deep technical work and high-stakes collaboration. You might spend the morning troubleshooting a tricky Cadence configuration, the afternoon in a joint session with a client and Epic's team, and the end of the day building a reusable framework so the next engagement goes smoother. You're as comfortable in the build as you are in the boardroom-and you genuinely enjoy both. This is a senior individual contributor role. You lead through expertise, not headcount. You design frameworks that other teams adopt, you coach through ambiguity, and you bring a calm, confident presence that helps clients trust us as an extension of their team.

Responsibilities

• Own Epic architecture across engagements-designing, configuring, and refining workflows primarily in Cadence, Prelude, and MyChart, with depth in the ambulatory and clinical side of the platform.
• Show up in joint meetings with clients and Epic as a confident, credible voice-the kind of person who listens carefully, speaks up at the right moment, and earns the room.
• Build scalable delivery frameworks and reusable methodologies that improve how our teams execute across clients-not just for one engagement, but for all of them.
• Dig into the hard stuff-complex configurations, edge cases, things that don't have obvious answers-and figure it out.
• Partner with operations and patient access teams to understand workflows from the ground up, ensuring training happens, adoption sticks, and results get tracked.
• Identify and drive improvements in telephony and call center integrations especially where Epic and operations intersect.
• Translate complex technical tradeoffs into clear recommendations for client stakeholders and senior internal leaders.
• Audit existing workflows and standards, identify gaps, and build improvement plans with clear adoption paths.
• Contribute to business development by advising on scope and aligning commitments with what we can deliver.
• Experiment with automation and technology-enabled processes to improve consistency and efficiency across workflows.
• The Details
• Employment Eligibility: Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship.
• Work Location: Remote. You must work from a location within the United States with consistent internet service.
• Work Type: Full-time
• Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage; paid time off; 401(k); parental leave; career development support; and more
• Travel: Travel will vary based on customer commitments , but you should expect up to at least 1 trip a month for customer or internal obligations.
• Compensation: Expected range is $ 158 ,000 - $ 205 ,000 . New hires usually start between $ 158 ,000 - $ 1 90 ,000, depending on experience and internal equity.

Requirements

• 8-10+ years of advanced impact in service delivery, Epic implementation, or healthcare IT consulting-with a track record of multi-team influence and outcomes.
• Active Epic certifications in Cadence, Prelude, and MyChart-this is a firm requirement. Additional certifications (Ambulatory, Re ferrals, Hello World, Cheers/Campaigns, Nurse Triage) are a plus.
• Deep technical application expertise -the kind built through strong application management or advanced consulting work, not just implementation project support. Former Epic TS or AM background is a great fit.
• Experience leading or guiding engagements with healthcare systems in a consulting or client services capacity.
• Proven ability to build reusable frameworks and standards that other teams adopt-not just solve for the engagement in front of you.
• Strong systems thinking: you anticipate downstream impacts, document tradeoffs, and build adoption paths others can follow.
• Comfort partnering with operations and patien
