• Troubleshoot technical issues including data schema mismatches, transformation logic errors, and performance bottlenecks
• Build reusable data components and standardized integration patterns that accelerate future implementations
• Optimize pipeline performance for large-scale healthcare datasets, ensuring efficient processing and resource utilization
• Implement data validation rules specific to healthcare contexts (e.g., clinical code validation, temporal logic checks, referential integrity)
• Write and maintain technical documentation for data pipelines, transformations, and integration patterns
• Support production deployments by coordinating with infrastructure teams and conducting final testing

Collaboration & Problem-Solving (20%)

• Partner with Data Integration Manager to translate partner requirements into technical specifications
• Participate in technical discussions with partner IT teams to understand data schemas, access methods, and integration constraints
• Provide technical guidance on data mapping specifications and transformation approaches

• Multiple data format fluency: Experience with JSON, XML, Parquet, CSV, and other healthcare interchange formats

Technical Environment:

Our data infrastructure is built on modern cloud technologies including:

• Azure Databricks + Data Factory (plus Fabric and Snowflake integrations)
• PySpark for distributed data processing
• GitHub Actions + Terraform for CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code
• Python with type-safe patterns and modern frameworks
• Healthcare data formats including FHIR, Epic Clarity, and other EHR schemas

What Success Looks Like:

• High-quality data pipelines delivered on schedule with thorough testing and documentation
• Proactive issue identification with technical problems caught and resolved before impacting partners
• Reusable components that reduce implementation time for subsequent integrations
• Clean production deployments with minimal post-launch issues
