The former Vitesse player has made more than 50 senior appearances and could feature in Hearts' next game, at home to Livingston on Saturday.
Derek McInnes' side lead the top flight by three points but second-placed Celtic play their game in hand away to Motherwell on Tuesday evening.
"It's good that we're able to get our business started so early," McInnes told club media.
"We've got a strong squad here, with options all over the park, but I have spoken before about strengthening in some areas, and I feel that's what we've done by bringing Jordi in.
"He's got the attributes that we feel can make him a success here at Hearts and hopefully the way he plays will excite the fans."
