  • Manage relationships with data vendors and keep costs within budget while ensuring we can continue to meet the needs of the team and our clients

  • Coordinate project plans with Engineering Managers and Technical Program Managers 

  • Build a culture of engineering best practices, with an emphasis on observability, documentation, and risk management 

  • Mentor and develop team members from a technical perspective

What You’ll Need

  • Deep experience developing data platform infrastructure and ETL/ELT design and implementation, including development of best practices in testing, logging, monitoring 

  • Expertise in SQL and at least one programming (Python, Scala, Go)

  • Background working with distributed big data technologies such as Spark, Presto, Hive, as well as data warehouse technologies including Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift

  • Strong cross-functional communicator and collaborator who has extensive experience working across data and data consumer teams, including Analytics, Data Science, Product, Operations, and other third-party stakeholders

  • Experience with implementing microservice architectures, event-based processing, and streaming pipelines, including expertise with Kafka and Spark Streaming

  • Experience with managing healthcare data (e.g. HIPAA compliance, Safe Harbor)

  • Experience mentoring data and analytics engineers with varying levels of expertise

  • Familiarity implementing CI/CD practices and infrastructure as code (especially Terraform) as a foundation for developing data platforms from the ground up on cloud ecosystems
