Description Hart is a healthcare technology company focused on clinical data integration and archiving. We build the infrastructure that connects disparate health systems, providing a unified source of information for providers and patients. Job Summary We are looking for a Data Engineer to build and maintain our data infrastructure. You will be responsible for developing robust ETL/ELT pipelines and managing data workflows within the Databricks ecosystem. We need a builder who values simplicity and pragmatism—someone who can navigate the necessary rigor of a regulated industry without over-engineering technical solutions.

Culture We handle high-stakes data where precision is mandatory, but we solve those problems with an engineering-first mindset. This isn’t a "corporate suit" environment—we are a meritocracy where the best idea wins, regardless of title. We value high-signal, direct communication and prioritize technical execution over unnecessary fluff. Our goal is to maintain a disciplined, professional standard for our systems while keeping our team structure lean and focused. If you prefer building foundational technology in a simple, pragmatic, and fluff-free environment, you will fit in here. Requirements - Professional Experience: Proven track record in data engineering or a software engineering role with a heavy focus on data. - Databricks: Hands-on experience with the Databricks platform. - Languages: High proficiency in Python and SQL. - ETL/ELT: Experience building and maintaining production-grade data pipelines. - Cloud Infrastructure: Experience working within AWS environments. Preferred Qualifications - AI/ML: Experience with MLflow, model training, or integrating AI into data pipelines. - Healthcare Data: Familiarity with healthcare standards like HL7 and FHIR. - Software Fundamentals: Strong understanding of version control (Git) and CI/CD practices.
