Senior Healthcare Data Analyst

This role is for someone who knows healthcare data cold and is excited to pair that knowledge with modern AI tooling to move faster and build smarter.
What You'll Do

Data quality & pipeline validation —
Perform detailed audits to detect, troubleshoot, and resolve issues impacting accuracy and completeness; write SQL and Spark SQL queries to validate pipeline output end-to-end.
•
Platform expertise —
Develop deep working knowledge of Machinify 's platform - from data ingestion through claims adjudication - so that analytical solutions are accurate, traceable, and business-aligned.
•
Payment integrity —
Identify overpayment patterns, COB issues, and billing edit opportunities by applying expertise in payer policy, CMS regulations, and provider reimbursement methodologies.
•
AI-assisted workflows —
Actively drive AI adoption: prompt and iterate with LLMs to accelerate analysis, identify manual processes ripe for automation, and contribute to AI-assisted pipeline development.
•
Client onboarding —
Support onboarding of new client data feeds, ensuring smooth integration with minimal disruption and clear documentation of transformation logic and lineage.
•
Cross-functional partnership —
Partner with data engineers, data science, clinical staff, and product managers to translate complex healthcare requirements into scalable data solutions; collaborate with data scientists to enable advanced analytics and ML use cases.
•
Subject matter leadership —
Serve as the go-to SME on claims coding, adjudication rules, and payer policy - mentoring analysts and engineers and advising stakeholders on risk, trends, and business impact.
What You'll Bring

- Familiarity with CMS regulations and commercial payer guidelines as they apply to claims adjudication and payment policy.
- Advanced SQL proficiency; comfortable writing complex analytical queries against large datasets.
