• Load extracted data into a centralized, HIPAA‑compliant database.
• Design and tune MySQL schemas to support pipeline performance and scalability.
• Integrate with REST APIs and healthcare data standards such as FHIR and HL7.
• Use AI‑assisted coding tools as part of the daily development workflow.
• Troubleshoot and maintain pipelines as new EMR/EHR sources are onboarded.

• Hands‑on experience working with data from EMR/EHR systems (HCHB, MatrixCare, WellSky/Consolo, Axxess, Careficient, HospiceMD, Hospice Tools, Epic, or Cerner).
• Background in MySQL, including schema design, indexing, and query tuning.
• Knowledge of REST APIs, JSON/XML, FHIR, and HL7.
• Daily hands‑on experience with AI‑assisted coding tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Cursor), and the ability to explain and verify AI‑generated code.
• Advanced proficiency in English.

Nice To Have

• Experience with Linux (shell, cron/systemd, log analysis).
• Familiarity with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Alembic, Pandas, or Celery.
• Knowledge of Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster.
• Experience with Snowflake.
• Background in SQL Server replication or log shipping.
• Familiarity with DigitalOcean.
• Knowledge of OpenAPI design, API versioning, throttling, and observability.
• Experience with identity resolution, MDM, or data crosswalks.
• Familiarity with HIPAA and PHI handling.

How we do make your work (and your life) easier:

• Excellent compensation in USD or your local currency if preferred
• Hardware and software setup for you to work from home.
• Flexible hours: create your own schedule.
