Experience: 5+ years of experience in data engineering, database management, or related roles, with significant experience managing work and leading projects.

• Experience with database systems such as SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL.
• Understanding of data warehousing, ETL processes, and data integration techniques.
• Knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with healthcare data, particularly from Electronic Health Records (EHR) or Epic systems.
• Background in clinical quality, market analysis, or value-based care domains.
• Knowledge of healthcare regulations and compliance requirements (e.g., CMS).
