Data Engineer

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. While we are open to exceptional remote talent, we have a strong preference for candidates who can work on-site with us in Bozeman, MT.

Key Responsibilities 

• Data Pipeline Development: Design and implement scalable ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest and transform complex healthcare data.
• Databricks Development: Build and optimize data models and processing workflows within the Databricks ecosystem.
• Pragmatic Engineering: Focus on clean, maintainable code and simple solutions that solve the problem effectively without unnecessary complexity.
• Performance Optimization: Write and refine high-signal Python and SQL code to improve system reliability and efficiency.
• AI/ML Support: Develop the data foundation for machine learning workflows and assist in moving models into production.
• Security & Compliance: Ensure all data flows meet HIPAA and security standards through intentional documentation and validation.

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.

Work Authorization

Successful candidates must be able to provide proof of legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring sponsorship now or in the future.
