Job description

We are seeking a Data Architect to design the structural backbone of a high-scale, multi-modal healthcare data ecosystem. You will be responsible for architecting data environments that serve massive networks of hospitals, ensuring that diverse data types-ranging from structured EHR records to unstructured genomic and imaging data-are seamlessly accessible to autonomous AI agents. Our goal is to move beyond static data warehousing to create a dynamic, "agent-ready" data fabric that supports real-time clinical evaluation at an enterprise scale. What You'll Do Multi-Modal Architecture: Lead the design and management of an enterprise data model that integrates complex domains including clinical EHR records, high-throughput genomics (NGS), and cardiovascular imaging (Echo, Cath, ECG). Scale for Hospital Networks: Architect data solutions designed to scale across federated networks of hospitals, ensuring multi-tenancy, high availability, and performance across hybrid cloud environments. Enable Agentic Workflows: Design data access patterns and metadata layers specifically optimized for AI agents, allowing them to autonomously discover, query, and reason over structured and unstructured datasets. Schema & API Ownership: Author and maintain entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs), data dictionaries, and API specifications across multiple technologies (Relational, NoSQL, Vector Databases). Data Quality & Traceability: Implement automated solutions to monitor data quality and lineage with strict traceability back to source systems, ensuring "ground truth" for agentic evaluations. Technical Advocacy: Educate engineering and clinical teams on data modeling standards, governance, and best practices for maintaining data integrity in a HIPAA-regulated environment., About the Role As a Blue Yonder (BY) Technology Architect, you will play a critical role in delivering high-quality supply chain solutions by providing deep technical expertise a…

Requirements

Education: Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Health Informatics, or a related field. Professional Experience: 7+ years in data architecture or enterprise modeling, with significant experience in the healthcare or life sciences domain. Modeling Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of 3NF, Dimensional (Star Schema), and Data Vault 2.0 modeling techniques. Advanced SQL & Python: Exceptional SQL skills for complex analytical environments and proficiency in Python for data profiling and debugging. Technology Strategy: Ability to articulate the trade-offs between RDBMS, MPP, and NoSQL technologies, and experience implementing Master Data Management (MDM) solutions. Interoperability Standards: Deep familiarity with HL7, FHIR, and Epic/Cerner data structures. Tools: Proficiency with modeling tools such as Erwin, Vertabelo, or Lucidchart. Bonus Points AI Data Engineering: Experience with Vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, or pgvector) or Graph databases to support RAG and agentic memory. Cloud Architecture: Hands-on experience with GCP (BigQuery, Vertex AI) or AWS healthcare-native services. Specialized Clinical Data: Direct experience working with EHR, OMOP, DICOM, genomic data models, or longitudinal patient records.
