- 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:
