Senior Python Data Engineer – Healthcare EMR/EHR Integrations at BairesDev

In this role, you'll build automated data pipelines that pull clinical and patient data out of hospice and home health record systems and load it into a centralized platform. This is a hands‑on engineering role where your Python skills and EMR/EHR knowledge directly speed up onboarding for new healthcare clients. This is your opportunity to work at the intersection of healthcare data and AI‑assisted development, using modern tools daily to ship reliable pipelines.

What You'll Do

• Design and build automated ETL/ELT pipelines extracting clinical and patient data from EMR/EHR systems.
• 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.

What We Are Looking For

• 8+ years of experience in data engineering, with strong proficiency in Python.
• 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:

• 100% remote work (from anywhere).
• 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.
• Paid parental leaves, vacations, and national holidays.
• Innovative and multicultural work environment: collaborate and learn from the global Top 1% of talent.
• Supportive environment with mentorship, promotions, skill development, and diverse growth opportunities.
