• Productionalize Data Sets: Build and deploy v1 data sets in a way that allows the business to benefit immediately from their insights, while ensuring scalability and maintainability
• Alerting & Monitoring: Implement alerting mechanisms to ensure that data sets are monitored effectively, with issues flagged to appropriate teams for timely resolution
• External Reporting Support: Enable data exports to external parties by supporting development and testing of reporting data sets
• Change Management Support: Help stakeholders manage changes to business logic and analytics requirements, especially when upstream data sets evolve (e.g., claim rewrite, coupon migration)

Requirements:

• Experience with ETL orchestration tools such as Airflow for managing and scheduling DAGs, ensuring that workflows are efficient, reliable, and scalable
• Familiarity with data modeling concepts such as star/snowflake schemas and building logical and physical data models for analytics use cases
• Experience working with version control systems like Git for collaboration and maintaining code integrity
• Proficiency with BI tools such as Tableau, Looker, or Power BI for dashboarding and data visualization
• Experience with alerting and monitoring tools like Datadog, PagerDuty, or Grafana for ensuring data pipeline health and resolving issues proactively.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and experience with DevOps practices in a data engineering context
• Experience working with data governance and data quality frameworks to ensure compliance and accuracy of enterprise data
• Strong understanding of analytics workflows, from data collection to processing and analysis, with experience in data lineage and data cataloging tools (e.g., Alation, Collibra)
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to navigate complex business needs and translate them into technical requirements

Desirable:

• Experience in the healthcare, health-tech, or similar industries, with exposure to working with healthcare data (e.g., claims, EHR, or HCP data)
• Familiarity with agile development methodologies and working in cross-functional teams
• Prior experience working with diverse data types, including event data, transactional data, and marketing data

What’s in it for you?

• Strong community: Work alongside top professionals in a friendly, open-door environment
• Growth focus: Take on large-scale projects with a global impact and expand your expertise
• Tailored learning: Boost your skills with internal events (meetups, conferences, workshops), Udemy access, language courses, and company-paid certifications
