• Build and support backend services and integration components using Java and Spring Boot
• Design and optimize data models and queries across Oracle, PostgreSQL, Terradata, and MongoDB
• Develop event-driven and streaming data flows using Apache Kafka (producers, consumers, topic design)
• Build, schedule, and monitor batch and real-time data pipelines feeding downstream healthcare/payment systems
• Provide production support for both Talend jobs and Java/Spring Boot services — triage failures, perform root cause analysis, and implement fixes under SLA
• Tune ETL job performance, troubleshoot data quality issues, and manage error-handling/retry frameworks
• Collaborate with business and data teams to translate provider onboarding and payment/claims requirements into technical data flows
• Write unit/integration tests, participate in code reviews, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for Talend and Java deployments
• Document data mappings, job designs, runbooks, and support procedures
• Participate in on-call/rotational production support

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 10+ years of professional experience in data integration/ETL development, with strong hands-on Talend expertise (Talend 8.x or later)
• Solid development experience with Java and Spring Boot
• Strong experience with Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB — schema design, query optimization, data modeling across relational and NoSQL systems
• Practical experience with Apache Kafka in production data pipelines
• Demonstrated production support experience — incident management, debugging live ETL/data pipelines and backend services, performance tuning
• Healthcare industry experience, specifically in provider onboarding and payment/claims processing systems — strongly required
• Solid understanding of data integration patterns, batch/real-time processing, and error-handling frameworks
• Experience with job scheduling/orchestration tools (e.g., Talend Management Console, Autosys, Airflow, or similar)
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar)

Nice to Have

• Experience with AWS or other cloud platforms (S3, Lambda, RDS, MWAA/Airflow)
• Exposure to monitoring/observability tools (Splunk, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch)
• Experience with microservices architecture and REST API development
• Knowledge of HIPAA/regulatory compliance requirements in healthcare data handling
• Experience migrating legacy ETL workloads to modern cloud-native pipelines

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, especially under production incident pressure
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and business/domain stakeholders
• Ownership mindset — comfortable with on-call/rotational support responsibilities
