Job description

The Senior Data Engineer will play a pivotal role in building, modernizing, and scaling our enterprise data platform. While our legacy footprint includes SQL Server on GCP, our future is centered on a modern stack powered by Snowflake and Python.

In this role, you will have end-to-end ownership of high-performance data pipelines, influence our core data architecture, and solve complex data challenges. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise in cloud data warehousing, a passion for modern engineering practices, and a strong background in healthcare data systems (specifically payer claims and attribution models).

Primary Job Duties:

  • Pipeline Engineering: Design, develop, and maintain resilient, scalable, and efficient end-to-end data pipelines.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner directly with product owners, data analysts, and Analytics stakeholders to gather requirements, communicate technical roadmaps, and deliver data solutions aligned with business goals.
  • Architecture & Design: Play a key role in data modeling and architecture discussions to support high-volume, low-latency, and high-availability systems.
  • Technical Leadership: Act as a subject matter expert for the data layer; mentor junior engineers, advocate for code quality, and delegate project tasks effectively.
  • DevOps Culture: Champion a modern DevOps mindset by implementing CI/CD practices, automated testing, and robust monitoring/observability for data workflows.
  • SDLC Execution: Deliver clean, well-tested, and secure code within an Agile/Scrum framework (Jira), participating fully from discovery through to deployment.
  • Continuous Innovation: Evaluate emerging data technologies and framework optimizations to continuously improve platform performance and cost-efficiency.
  • Responsible for end to end project ownership
  • Follow established processes and be a champion for best practices and continuous improvement.
  • Deliver timely, well written, well designed, testable, efficient code
  • Ensure designs and code are in compliance with specifications
  • Perform other duties as assigned

Requirements

5+ years of professional experience designing and implementing commercial data warehouses and data marts.

  • 4+ years of hands-on production experience with Snowflake (including performance tuning, Snowpipe, or secure data sharing).
  • 3+ years of strong development experience in Python for data manipulation and pipeline orchestration.
  • 3+ years of strong experience with DBT or similar transformation tool.
  • Expert-level proficiency in advanced SQL (including complex joins, window functions, and query optimization).
  • Experience integrating with external data sources via APIs and handling semi-structured data (JSON, Parquet).
  • Solid understanding of relational databases (MSSQL/MySQL).
  • Proven track record of shipping high-quality software backed by a strong belief in automated testing (unit, integration, and data quality testing).
  • Experience working within an Agile SDLC environment.
  • Must comply with HIPAA rules and regulations
  • Must be willing and able to communicate with the team via webcam, webconf, and phone.
  • Must have access to private, quiet work space with high-speed internet to effectively work remotely
