We are seeking a hands-on
Director of BI & Data Engineering to own the Salud Enterprise Datawarehouse (EDW) on Databricks and the BI solution that sits on top of it.

Key Responsibilities:EDW Permanent Table Development (Databricks)- Design, build, and own the permanent tables of the Databricks EDW - dimensional and normalized data models across the Bronze / Silver / Gold medallion layers and curated data marts.
- Develop and maintain production ETL / ELT pipelines and stored procedures (SQL, Spark / PySpark), and set standards for ingestion from payer, claims, clinical, and Salesforce sources.
- Govern the platform through Delta and Unity Catalog: lineage, access, performance tuning, and per-workload cost management on Azure and Databricks.
- Put data-quality gates in place - freshness, completeness, and reconciliation checks - so upstream disruptions never propagate downstream, and failures are loud and traceable.
Product Owner, Semantic Layer & BI Solution- Serve as product owner of Salud's BI solution: own the vision, roadmap, prioritized backlog, requirements, and user acceptance.
- Build and govern the semantic / metrics layer - including Databricks-native semantic capabilities - as the single source of truth for business metrics, so every consumer sees the same numbers.

- Deliver the analytics that matter in Medicare Advantage and value-based arrangements: HCC / risk adjustment, HEDIS / Stars quality, utilization, MLR, and capitation.
- Enforce HIPAA-aligned controls across the data estate: least-privilege access, private networking, encryption, audit logging, and access review.
Team Leadership & Agile Delivery (Player / Coach)- Lead, mentor, and grow a small team of data engineers and BI developers, and direct offshore engineering resources; build hiring pipelines and lead interview loops.
- Run a 2-week sprint cadence (JIRA, GitHub, Confluence): requirements defined and frozen per sprint, backlog grooming, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
- Set engineering standards - PR review, tests that assert effect, CI/CD, and dev / QA / prod parity - and champion AI-assisted development (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) under human review.
- Stay hands-on: contribute code, models, and reviews alongside the team while protecting focus with a single, prioritized roadmap.
