Senior Data Engineer

• Design, build, and own data pipelines in our unified framework using Airflow, dbt, and Snowflake.

• Implement the canonical data model in production, working within the architecture set by the Principal Data Engineer and contributing to it based on what implementation reveals.

• Build automated validation and data quality checks into pipelines at defined stages, so that defects are caught before they reach consumers.

• Instrument pipelines for observability, including freshness, lineage, and failure alerting.

• Contribute to self-service capability that allows consuming teams to declare the data they need and receive it as governed output rather than a custom build.

• Partner directly with consuming teams across invoicing, analytics, and reporting to understand their requirements and translate them into data they can rely on.

• Migrate and consolidate existing data workloads onto the unified framework without disrupting the consumers depending on them.

• Participate in an on-call rotation for pipeline and data quality incidents, and in the incident reviews that make fixes permanent.

• Hold a high engineering bar: version control, testing, code review, CI/CD, and documentation that stays current.

• Mentor engineers, share knowledge deliberately, and raise the technical level of the people around you.

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering, building and owning production data pipelines.

• Strong Snowflake experience, including streams and tasks, warehouse sizing and performance tuning, SQL optimization, and working knowledge of RBAC, clustering, and micro-partitions.

• Production experience with dbt and Airflow, including how to structure models and DAGs so that someone else can maintain them.

• Strong programming expertise in Python and deep SQL proficiency.

• Solid data modeling skills, with experience designing schemas that serve more than one consumer and the judgment to know when a requirement belongs in the shared model versus a consumer-specific extension.

• Experience building testing and data quality validation into pipelines rather than checking data after the fact.

• Disciplined engineering practices: version control, code review, automated testing, and CI/CD applied as a matter of course.

• Ability to work directly with non-engineering consumers of data, understand what they actually need, and communicate constraints and tradeoffs clearly.

• Experience with multi-tenant data platforms, including tenant isolation and handling per-customer variance within a shared model.

• Experience modeling data that changes over time: event history, corrections and restatements, and the difference between point-in-time and as-of reporting.

• Experience in healthcare claims, healthcare payments, or another regulated domain with PHI or PII handling and auditability requirements.

• Familiarity with Datadog or comparable observability tooling applied to data pipelines.

• Experience building internal tooling or platforms that other teams use directly.
