Epic Architect

Hi. We’re Hummingbird. We’re elevating patient access so patients can get healthcare how, when, and where they need it. We partner with healthcare systems to transform how patients access care, enabling their providers to focus on what matters most – caring for patients. By managing patient access as a technology-enabled service, we help health systems stabilize costs and improve patient experience while creating good jobs that attract and retain talent in the industry. Our team of experts is obsessed with the connection between the people, processes, and technology that make healthcare organizations hum. Join us and help build the healthcare experience we want for our communities, our families, and ourselves. Summary 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 WhatYou’llDo 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.

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 thatdon’thave obvious answers—and figure it out.
