Full Job Description

Market Insights is Huron's analytics product suite, built on a foundation of tens of billions of medical claims, millions of clinical providers, and hundreds of millions of unique patient lives.

  • Collaborate with product management on roadmap, prioritization, and feature delivery using Agile practices.

AI and machine learning in analytics

  • Identify and lead opportunities to embed AI and Agentic AI capabilities into analytics products: predictive models, natural language interfaces over data, automated insight generation, and generative AI features that help clients act faster on their data.
  • Partner with data scientists to move machine learning models from prototype into reliable, production grade services.
  • Evaluate and apply large language model based tools where they add measurable client value, with attention to data privacy, accuracy, and healthcare compliance requirements.

Data engineering

  • Design and maintain ETL and data pipeline processes that feed dashboards, models, and client facing reporting.
  • Work with cloud data services, including S3, Redshift, Glue, Lambda, and Athena, to build scalable data infrastructure.
  • Uphold data governance, quality, and healthcare data handling standards across the platform.


Team leadership

  • Support, and mentor a team of engineers, providing technical guidance and career development.
  • Establish and continuously improve engineering practices, code quality standards, and delivery processes.
  • Communicate progress, risks, and technical decisions clearly to product leadership and cross functional stakeholders.

Qualifications

Required:

  • 8 or more years of professional software engineering experience, including full stack development across both front end and back end technologies.
  • 3 or more years leading or mentoring engineers, formally or informally.
  • Demonstrated experience applying AI or machine learning within a production analytics or data product, such as predictive modeling, recommendation systems, or generative AI features.
  • Strong front end development skills in TypeScript, JavaScript, and React.
  • Strong back end skills in Python, and an equivalent language used for analytics and API development.
  • Solid understanding of relational databases and SQL.
  • Working knowledge of core AWS services relevant to data and analytics, including Lambda, IAM, S3, Redshift, Glue, and Athena.
  • Experience with infrastructure as code using AWS CloudFormation and the AWS CDK.
  • Experience with version control systems, particularly Git.
  • Experience delivering software using Agile methodologies.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred:

  • Familiarity with healthcare data interoperability standards, such as ANSI X12, HL7, and FHIR.
