• 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.
