• Build and transform scalable data pipelines, leveraging Vertica for columnar storage and analytics, alongside ETL processes for efficient data ingestion and transformation
• Integrate and enhance Business Intelligence (BI) and reporting tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, or Oracle Analytics) to deliver actionable insights from complex datasets
• Champion DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices: Automate deployments, monitor system health with tools like Prometheus/Grafana, and implement CI/CD pipelines using Terraform, Jenkins, or Kubernetes
• Work across multi-cloud ecosystems (AWS, Oracle Cloud, On-Prem) to ensure platform agnosticism, cost efficiency, and compliance with healthcare standards
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues proactively, conducting root-cause analysis and driving continuous improvements in system reliability
• Mentor junior engineers, contribute to technical roadmaps, and stay ahead of emerging technologies in data warehousing and cloud-native architectures

Requirements:

• U.S. citizenship is required for this position, as the successful candidate will be required to obtain (and maintain) a U.S. government security clearance after hire
• Expertise in designing, implementing, and optimizing high-availability infrastructure with fault tolerance and performance tuning

• Deep knowledge of multi-cloud environments (AWS, Oracle Cloud) with focus on cost efficiency, scalability, and compliance
• Proven ability to troubleshoot production issues, conduct root-cause analysis, mentor teams, and contribute to technical roadmaps
• Solid foundation in languages like Python/Java/Go, plus containerization (Docker) and scripting for cloud-native architectures
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles
• Deep expertise in data warehousing and ETL frameworks
• Proven hands-on experience with BI/reporting tools and analytics platforms; familiarity with Oracle HDI or similar healthcare data systems is a plus
• Strong proficiency in cloud technologies: Infrastructure as Code (IaC), container orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes), and monitoring/observability stacks
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with a track record of delivering reliable systems at scale in fast-paced environments
• Passion for healthcare innovation and a collaborative mindset
