We are hiring a Senior Data Engineer for the VA Enterprise Data Warehouse. This role supports stakeholders and may be performed remotely or in a hybrid model.
Primary Responsibilities
Partner with VA EDW business, analytics, and technical teams to capture data requirements and translate them into technical designs, mapping documents, and implementation artifacts.
Design and enhance EDW data models (staging, integration, and dimensional layers) to support performance, maintainability, and standardized enterprise reporting.
Apply SDLC best practices across analysis, design, development, testing, release, and post deployment support, including code reviews, documentation, and change management.
Collaborate with data engineers, DBAs, QA, and DevOps to build and support batch and/or near real time pipelines into the VA EDW.
Communicate pipeline status, risks, and dependencies to technical leadership and stakeholders through standups, status updates, and written documentation.
Contribute to sprint planning and delivery estimates; manage work to milestones while maintaining quality, security, and operational readiness.
Implement data quality checks, reconciliations, and audit controls to ensure trusted EDW data.
Perform ETL/ELT unit testing and end‑to‑end validation; support regression testing for downstream reporting impacts and participate in defect triage and resolution.
Build, optimize, and monitor ETL/ELT workflows to ingest data from heterogeneous VA and partner source systems into the EDW layers.
Provide production support for EDW batch schedules and downstream dependencies, troubleshooting and resolving load failures, data defects, and performance issues within SLAs, documenting root cause and corrective actions.
Develop and tune advanced SQL for Teradata (or equivalent MPP platforms), including complex joins, window functions, and performance optimization.
Required Qualifications
6+ years of hands‑on experience building and supporting enterprise data pipelines and integrations in a data warehouse or analytics environment.
6+ years of experience developing ETL/ELT solutions using tools such as Informatica PowerCenter.
2+ years of experience with healthcare data and compliance concepts (claims, encounters, eligibility, provider, HIPAA/privacy) in government or regulated environments.
2+ years of experience with Teradata (or similar MPP data warehouse platforms), including performance tuning and load/ingest utilities.
2+ years of experience with scripting/programming (Python, shell) for automation, data processing, and operational tooling.
2+ years of experience performing data profiling, validation, reconciliation, and defect root‑cause analysis.
2+ years of experience with EDW data modeling (dimensional modeling, conformed dimensions, slowly changing dimensions).
2+ years of experience with EDW architecture, database design principles, and ETL/ELT patterns.
2+ years of experience operating high‑volume data workloads, including scheduling, monitoring, alerting, and incident/problem management.
Proven problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently and collaboratively.
Proven communication and documentation skills, including technical runbooks and operational support documentation.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with modern data platforms and cloud services (Azure, AWS, Databricks, Snowflake) and secure data ingestion patterns.
Experience using AI/LLM models to support data engineering in a secure and compliant manner.
Experience with healthcare payer or provider data, clinical/encounter data, or other regulated health datasets.
Experience with healthcare EDI transactions and formats (834, 837, NCPDP) and/or HL7/FHIR concepts.
Experience implementing data quality frameworks, lineage, and reconciliation controls in regulated data environments.
Exposure to modern data engineering practices (ELT, orchestration, CI/CD, data observability, automated testing) beyond traditional EDW ETL.
Knowledge of HIPAA privacy and security requirements and familiarity with controlled environments.
Benefits and Compensation Salary range: $91,700 to $163,700 annually, based on full‑time employment. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase, and 401(k) contribution. All benefits are subject to eligibility requirements.
