Job Specifications

About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Data Engineer to design and implement a new data warehousing environment that connects resident and medical EMR data using Snowflake. The ideal candidate is an experienced engineer who thrives in building data infrastructure from the ground up -- not just a planner, but a doer who can execute.

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, and implement a data warehouse in Snowflake to consolidate scattered datasets currently managed manually (including Excel-based workflows).
Establish data orchestration and workflow automation using Apache Airflow, transitioning from an existing Dagster setup.
Implement data security protocols, access control, and governance frameworks.
Work closely with stakeholders to understand business data needs and integrate data from multiple sources.
Set up and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS, ensuring scalability, performance, and reliability.
Develop and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines for data ingestion, transformation, and processing.
Collaborate with DevOps teams to automate deployments and maintain CI/CD pipelines.

Required Skills & Experience

7-8+ years of professional experience as a Data Engineer or Cloud Data Infrastructure Engineer.
Strong experience with Snowflake, Airflow, and AWS (S3, Lambda, Athena, IAM, etc.).
Proven ability to architect and implement data warehousing and data orchestration solutions from scratch.
Hands-on experience in DevOps and cloud infrastructure setup.
Expertise in data modeling, ETL/ELT pipelines, and security best practices.
Strong problem-solving, communication, and execution skills -- a self-starter who can deliver with minimal supervision.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with healthcare data or EMR systems (e.g., Athena) is a plus.
Background in Python, SQL, and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
Prior experience migrating from Dagster to Airflow is highly desirable.
