Join our dynamic healthcare data engineering team as a Senior ETL / Data Integration Developer. In this role, you will design, develop, and deliver scalable, enterprise-grade ETL frameworks within a high-performance, multi-terabyte Oracle Exadata environment that integrates critical encounter and enrollment data from submitters. You will synthesize large, complex healthcare datasets using advanced data integration, transformation, and optimization techniques (including PL/SQL, Informatica, Python, and emerging cloud data platforms). Your work directly supports the operational management, evaluation, and analytical insight of healthcare systems impacting millions of lives.
You'll enjoy the flexibility to work remotely * from anywhere within the U.S. as you take on some tough challenges. For all hires in the Minneapolis or Washington, D.C. area, you will be required to work in the office a minimum of four days per week.
Primary Responsibilities:- Design, develop, and maintain scalable ETL workflows, pipelines, and data mappings to integrate complex healthcare datasets
- Apply ETL development best practices, including parameterization, modular design, and reusable components to avoid hard-coded logic
- Build reusable frameworks and automation tools to reduce operational activities and enhance overall data pipeline reliability
- Perform optimization, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and debugging of ETL processes across Oracle Exadata development, test, and production environments
- Develop and execute comprehensive unit, system, and integration testing for ETL pipelines
- Provide ongoing development support, participate in code reviews, and ensure adherence to data integration standards and secure coding principles
- Document and maintain technical designs, ETL specifications, data mappings, and operational procedures
- Perform data profiling, validation, reconciliation, and balancing checks to ensure high data quality, accuracy, and completeness across ingestion, transformation, and load phases
You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.
