In this role, you will:

+ Architect and develop robust, scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using Cloud Dataflow, Cloud composer (Airflow), and Pub/Sub for both batch and streaming use cases. Leverage BigQuery as the central data warehouse and design integrations with other GCP services (e.g., Cloud storage, Cloud functions).

+ Build and optimize analytical data models in BigQuery. Implement partitioning, clustering, and materialized views for performance and cost efficiency. Ensure compliance with data governance, access controls, and IAM best practices.

+ Develop integrations with external systems (APIs, flat files etc.) using GCP-native or hybrid approaches. Utiilize tools like Dataflow or custom Python/Java services on Cloud Functions or Cloud Run to handle transformations and ingestion logic.

+ Build automated CI/CD pipeline using Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins for deploying data pipeline code and workflows. Set up observability using Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Logging, and Error Reporting to ensure pipeline reliability.

+ Lead architectural decisions for data platforms and mentor junior engineers on cloud-native data engineering patterns. Promote best practices for code quality, version control, cost optimization, and data security in a GCP environment. Drive initiatives around data democratization, including building reusable datasets and data catalogs via Datapelx or Data Catalog.

As leaders in healthcare, our analytics and engineering teams deliver innovative solutions to business problems by collaborating with cross-functional teams in a dynamic and agile environment. You will be part of a team that values collaboration and encourages innovative thinking at all levels. You will be intellectually challenged to solve problems associated with large scale complex, structured and unstructured data, that will allow you to grow your technical skills and engineering expertise.
