- Partner with Data Analysts and cross-functional stakeholders to make healthcare data more reliable and accessible.

- Support ingestion and mapping of complex structured healthcare data (e.g., FHIR, EHR, pharmacy claims) into proprietary canonical models.
- Drive documentation, testing and data governance best practices across your work.
- Participate in code reviews, schema design discussions and cross-team architecture decisions.
- Ensure data integrity, quality and observability throughout the analytics stack.
- Contribute to data governance, documentation and knowledge sharing across the data team.
- Partner with engineering teams on data infrastructure and with business teams to align on key metrics and KPIs.
Qualifications:
- 3+ years in analytics engineering, data engineering or similar analytics-focused roles.
- Strong experience with SQL and modern data modeling practices (e.g., dimensional modeling, star/snowflake schemas).
- Experience using DBT (preferred) or an equivalent transformation framework.
- Familiarity with cloud data warehouses (ideally BigQuery; Redshift/Snowflake okay).
- Experience with ETL/ELT orchestration tools like Airflow or similar.
- A strong understanding of healthcare data (especially claims, labs, pharmacy) and its common challenges.
- Comfort handling PHI/PII, with familiarity around HIPAA-compliant analytics practices.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams.
