Principal Duties and Responsibilities / Essential Functions:
Lead the platform architecture and build
- Own the design, build, and ongoing maintenance of our Microsoft Fabric medallion architecture (Bronze → Silver → Gold), ensuring data flows optimally from raw ingestion through conformed, analytics-ready models.
- Make and document key architectural decisions around ingestion patterns, storage, the serving layer, orchestration, and performance — balancing speed, reliability, and cost.
- Establish the engineering practices that keep the platform healthy as it scales: version control, testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation.
Lead and grow the team
- Guide a small team of data engineers — setting coding and design standards, running code reviews, and unblocking day-to-day work.
- Mentor engineers and help grow their technical skills, giving the team a clear sense of how “good” is defined.
- Help shape hiring and team structure as the function grows.
Build and maintain the data pipelines
- Develop and operate ingestion pipelines from multiple sources — pharmacy claims, eligibility, formulary, contract data, rebate and actuarial data, and public reference APIs (e.g., NADAC, NCPDP, CMS, 340B).
- Normalize and conform data across differing PBM file specifications, formularies, and claims layouts so that downstream models are consistent and trustworthy.
- Design and evolve the conformed data model and star schema that serve as the analytical source of truth.
Serve the business
- Ensure the platform reliably feeds downstream consumers: Power BI, Excel reporting, internal web applications, and AI/Copilot-ready data services.
- Serve as a point for complex reporting and data issues, guiding to resolution across reporting and data teams
- Own data quality, governance, lineage, performance, and cost optimization end to end.
- Partner with the platform architect, analytics, clinical, and product teams to align the technical roadmap with business and client priorities, and translate ambiguous requirements into concrete data solutions.
- Collaborate with cross-functional leaders to prioritize initiatives and allocate resources
