Job Title: HL7 Integration Engineer – Epic Bridges
Location: Remote (U.S.; Minnetonka, MN time zone)
Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099)
About the Opportunity:
ZipStaff is seeking an HL7 Integration Engineer for end-to-end interoperability and interface delivery in a live Epic environment at a major healthcare organization.
You will build and support Epic Bridges interfaces and the integration engine, from requirements through production, with minimal ramp-up. This is an expert Bridges and engine seat — not an analyst role and not a FHIR-only role.
What You'll Do:
- Deliver new interfaces from requirements through build, test, production, and post-deploy support.
- Build and support HL7 v2.x interfaces: ADT, SIU, ORM, ORU, MDM, DFT, MFN, and X12/EDI.
- Troubleshoot integration-engine failures independently in a 24x7 setting.
- Make Epic-side build changes to enable or modify interfaces.
- Support vendor interfaces connected to Epic and Epic upgrade cycles (Nova Notes review and regression).
- Translate clinical and business requirements into HL7 mappings and interface specifications.
- Explain failures clearly to non-technical stakeholders in a HIPAA environment.
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years hands-on Epic Bridges interface development and production support in a live healthcare environment.
- Epic Bridges certification (current).
- 5+ years HL7 v2.x development and production support on Cloverleaf, Rhapsody, and InterSystems.
- Expert-level build and support of ADT, SIU, ORM, ORU, MDM, DFT, MFN, and X12/EDI.
- Independent resolution of interface failures, including Bridges-to-engine message flow and error scenarios.
- Epic upgrade support (Nova Notes and regression) and vendor interfaces.
- Live hospital or multi-facility Epic integration experience.
- HIPAA-regulated healthcare IT.
- 24x7 production and on-call.
- Bachelor's in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related, or equivalent experience.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Epic Data Courier certification.
- FHIR or API-based integration.
- VPN/TLS and SFTP.
- HIEs, external registries, and cloud integration.
- Python, Java, .NET, or JavaScript.
- AI agents applied to integration engineering.
Benefits:
- Health Insurance.
- Dental Insurance.
- Vision Insurance.
- 401(k).
- 401(k) matching.
- Paid time off.
- Referral Program.
