You adhere to established team processes, ensuring a steady and reliable delivery of features to production. These are the types of things you’ll be working on Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with teammates, external teams, and client stakeholders to ensure quality considerations are integrated at every stage of the SDLC. Test Planning and Design: Develop comprehensive test plans, test cases, and relevant documentation that align with software specifications and user requirements to ensure thorough testing of features and functionalities.

Performance and Security Testing: Implement and conduct performance and security testing following best practices and business requirements. Must have Advanced SQL. Window functions, CTEs, and the ability to read a query plan and act on it. You have tuned queries against tables large enough that a bad join was a real problem. PostgreSQL Schema design, indexing strategy, and migrations in a live system. Pipeline Ownership. Responsibility for the pipeline - Github Actions, Jenkins or similar Python. This is the working language of the role — ingestion handlers, validation logic, reconciliation tooling. Fluency, not familiarity. A validation and reconciliation instinct. You can describe how you'd prove two sources agree when neither one is authoritative, and you've had to do it. Comfort with data you don't control. Third-party feeds break, change format without notice, and arrive late. You design for that rather than being surprised by it. Nice to have Event-driven ingestion on AWS specifically (Lambda, S3 events, EventBridge, Step Functions). Equivalent experience on other stacks transfers - we care that you've built it, not where. Pharmacy, drug pricing, formulary, or payer data experience. Direct experience with any of NCPDP, First Databank, Medi-Span, or HPMS data is a strong differentiator; we do not expect all of them. Orchestration tooling: Airflow, Dagster, dbt, or Step Functions. IAC (Infrastructure as code) - Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK. Experience delivering in a FedRAMP or ATO-governed environment. Data quality frameworks (Great Expectations, Soda, or homegrown equivalents). Applied AI/ML work, particularly for anomaly detection on data feeds. Security Clearance Requirements US Citizenship or Green Card only - we do not offer Sponsorship US Residency for at least the past 3 years Able to meet the requirements to hold a position of Public Trust, including successful completion of a US Government background investigation Disclaimer: Medical or recreational marijuana use is considered illegal at the federal level, regardless of state laws allowing such, and may affect your ability to obtain Public Trust.
