The role is onshore and customer-facing and leads a blended onshore and offshore engineering team.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Own delivery for the data and BI workstream: scope, estimates, sequencing, and commitments against the release plan
    • Lead a blended onshore and offshore team — assign work, run the delivery rhythm, and manage performance and development
    • Act as the primary point of contact for customer stakeholders on data and reporting, translating business requirements into a technical plan
    • Own the design of the SQL Server data warehouse and the dimensional models, and approve significant schema and ETL design decisions
    • Review T-SQL, SSIS packages, and analytical datasets produced by the team, and set the engineering standards they are held to
    • Own production stability for scheduled loads: escalation, root-cause review, and the corrective actions that follow
    • Manage data quality, reconciliation, and audit expectations with the customer, including HIPAA-aware handling of member and provider data
    • Identify and escalate risks — capacity, dependency, data availability — before they affect a committed date
    • Partner with the integration, application, and BI teams, and with the offshore Tech Leads, to keep data consistent across systems

    Required Qualifications

    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field
    • 10–12 years of experience in data engineering or ETL development, including at least 3 years leading or managing an engineering team
    • Strong, hands-on background in SQL Server and T-SQL
    • Strong, hands-on background building and maintaining ETL in SSIS, including deployment, scheduling, and operational support
    • Proven ownership of data warehouse and dimensional model design (star schema) for a production reporting platform
    • Experience managing a blended onshore and offshore delivery model across time zones
    • Track record of delivering to committed dates in a regulated enterprise environment, with the escalation judgment that requires
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including direct engagement with business and customer stakeholders

    AI Knowledge & AI-Assisted Development (Required)

    • Daily, practical use of AI coding/assistant tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate T-SQL, SSIS package logic, and analytical query development
    • Able to critically review and validate AI-generated code, queries, and transformations for correctness, performance, and data integrity before deployment
    • Understanding of secure and compliant AI tool usage, including never entering PHI, member data, or other sensitive information into prompts or external AI tools
    • Able to identify where AI-driven automation improves pipeline development, testing, or migration efficiency, and champion adoption within the team

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience in the US health insurance or payer domain, particularly provider data: demographics, contracts, networks, credentialing
    • Experience with SSRS, SSAS, or Power BI consuming the warehouses your team builds
    • Exposure to the AWS data stack (Glue, S3, Athena) or to migrating SQL Server workloads to cloud
    • Exposure to healthcare data standards (X12 EDI, HL7, FHIR)
    • Relevant Microsoft SQL Server certifications
