Full Job Description
We are seeking a Data Engineer to join LucyRx's growing data team as we transition from an Oracle-centric environment to a modern cloud-based analytics platform. In the near term, this role will focus heavily on Oracle PL/SQL development, database optimization, and supporting migration efforts from our legacy Oracle systems. Over time, the scope will expand to include cloud data pipeline development, ELT/ETL engineering, and analytics enablement on Snowflake. This is an ideal opportunity for a data engineer with strong Oracle/SQL foundations who is eager to grow into a modern cloud data stack.

Role and Responsibilities

Oracle / PL/SQL - Near-Term Focus
  • Design, develop, and optimize PL/SQL stored procedures, functions, packages, triggers, and views for Oracle databases
  • Perform query optimization, performance tuning, and database indexing to improve database efficiency
  • Develop and maintain ETL processes supporting data integration and reporting in Oracle environments
  • Support migration of Oracle databases to cloud platforms (Oracle Cloud, AWS RDS, or Azure SQL Database)
  • Ensure data integrity, security, and compliance with HIPAA and company standards
  • Troubleshoot and resolve database issues in both on-premises and cloud environments
  • Maintain clear documentation for database processes, migration strategies, and coding standards


Data Engineering / Cloud - Evolving Scope
  • Design and build scalable data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and integration
  • Integrate data from Oracle, SQL Server, and external systems into Snowflake
  • Develop and maintain ELT/ETL processes using Python, SQL, and cloud-native tools
  • Support and extend Fivetran ingestion and identify coverage gaps
  • Design and maintain data models in Snowflake using SQL and dbt (facts, dimensions, metrics)
  • Support BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI with performant, well-documented datasets
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, data testing, and validation across pipelines
  • Contribute to data governance, semantic layer development, and architectural decisions


Qualifications and Education Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field, or equivalent experience
  • 5-7 years of experience in data engineering, database development, or a related role
  • Strong Oracle PL/SQL skills - stored procedures, functions, packages, triggers, and views
  • Advanced SQL proficiency: complex joins, transformations, query optimization
  • Solid Python experience for scripting, automation, or pipeline development
  • Experience with ETL/ELT pipeline design and development
  • Familiarity with data modeling concepts (dimensional modeling preferred)
  • Experience with cloud data platforms or cloud database environments
  • Exposure to Oracle-to-cloud migration patterns or hybrid legacy/modern environments
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills


Preferences

  • Snowflake experience (modeling, query optimization)
  • Experience with dbt for transformation and data modeling
  • Experience with Fivetran or similar ingestion tools
  • Familiarity with Oracle tools such as SQL*Loader, Data Pump, Oracle SQL Developer, or APEX
  • Experience with Oracle 12c/19c and advanced features
  • Exposure to SSIS or other legacy ETL tooling
  • Experience with BI tools (Tableau, Power BI)
  • Healthcare, PBM, managed care, or other regulated industry experience
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies and CI/CD practices
  • Oracle certification a plus

Success Measures (First 6-12 Months)
  • Reliable, optimized PL/SQL codebase with clear documentation
  • Meaningful progress on Oracle-to-cloud migration initiatives
  • Reduction in manual ingestion and data handling processes
  • Standardized pipeline patterns and improved reliability
  • Increased data availability in Snowflake with clear separation from operational systems
  • Reduced discrepancies between reports and source systems
  • Documented data models with growing adoption across reporting teams


Physical Requirements
