• Practical experience integrating with enterprise EHR systems—ideally Epic—via web service layers such as Interconnect
• Ability to manage secure API authentication, service accounts (e.g., Epic EMP records), and audited system-to-system communication
• Experience promoting software across tiered clinical environments, including Testing (TST) and Production (PRD)
• Knowledge of high-assurance identity standards (e.g., NIST IAL2), biometric validation, and document verification workflows
• Familiarity with regulated healthcare security requirements, including EPCS and audit logging standards
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, including working alongside HIM teams and external vendor support to resolve integration challenges
