Responsibilities
Build the Semantic Layer: Design and implement production-grade dbt models that transform raw source data into clean, documented, and tested Data Marts
Enforce Data Quality: Move beyond basic NOT NULL checks. Implement semantic validation rules (using dbt tests or Great Expectations) that catch business logic failures before they hit the dashboard
Own the Pipeline: Manage the lifecycle of your data models from IDE to production, including code review, CI/CD integration, and performance tuning in Snowflake
Bridge the Gap: Collaborate with Platform Engineers to understand upstream ingestion patterns (Python/Fivetran) and debug data issues at the source
Design the core Star Schemas and data models that define our business. You will decide how we model complex concepts like 'Attribution,' 'Risk,' and 'Claims Adjudication' to ensure historical accuracy and query performance
Act as the primary interface between Clinical Operations and Engineering. You will interview stakeholders to uncover the 'Why' behind their requests and translate vague business needs into precise technical specifications
Mentorship & Standards: Set the standard for SQL style, dbt macro usage, and testing rigor. Mentor intermediate engineers on healthcare domain nuances (e.g., why a reversal claim behaves differently than a void)
Qualification
Required
SQL Mastery: You can write performant, readable, and complex SQL. You understand window functions, CTEs, and the difference between a LEFT JOIN and a CROSS JOIN intuitively
dbt Fluency: You have used dbt in production. You understand incremental models, snapshots, and how to structure a project for scale
Python Literacy: You can read and understand Python scripts. You may not build the ingestion framework from scratch, but you can debug a transformation script if needed
Data Warehouse Fundamentals: You understand how column-oriented databases (Snowflake) work and how to write queries that prune partitions effectively
Preferred
You bring deep subject matter expertise in healthcare data domains. You are fluent in processing 837 files, modeling the claim lifecycle (Adjudication, Reversal, Denial), and handling provider data nuances (NPI vs. TIN)
Proven experience designing Dimensional Models (Kimball/Star Schema) from scratch. You know when to denormalize for performance and when to normalize for integrity
Benefits
Competitive salary, company equity and robust benefits package
