Design, build, and maintain complex, scalable ETL/ELT pipelines for structured and unstructured data.
Lead integration of data from EHRs, financial systems, registries, and external data sources.
Optimize pipelines for performance, reliability, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency.
Implement batch and near-real-time data processing patterns as needed.
Ensure pipelines meet regulatory, privacy, and security requirements (e.g., HIPAA).
Serve as technical owner for specific data platforms, domains, or subject areas (e.g., clinical analytics, operational reporting).
Design and maintain data lake, warehouse, and data mart structures using cloud platforms.
Develop and enforce data modeling standards, schema design, and partitioning strategies.
Partner with IT and cloud teams to ensure availability, scalability, and disaster recovery readiness.
Build curated, analytics-ready datasets and reusable data assets for analysts and data scientists.
Collaborate with data science teams to support feature engineering, model training, and deployment workflows.
Develop frameworks and patterns that improve self-service analytics and reduce ad‑hoc data requests.
