  • Apply AI and automation to accelerate data build and testing processes without bypassing governance.
  • Maintain consistent development patterns, naming conventions, and connectivity standards across the data ecosystem.
  • Set and uphold data operations standards for internal teams and outside service partners.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience building production-grade data solutions with depth in analytics engineering or equivalent business-plus-build work.

  • Familiarity with Snowflake and Teradata in addition to a Databricks-first stack (preferred).
  • Expert knowledge of dimensional and medallion (Silver/Gold) modeling within an enterprise-agnostic data model.
  • Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, automated code evaluation, and controlled promotion to production.
  • Strong software-engineering discipline including version control (Git), code review, and writing efficient, reusable code.
  • Ability to perform performance-tuning and cost-optimizing for Spark and SQL transformations at scale.
  • Experience in complex, regulated enterprises, specifically healthcare or PBM data (preferred).
