- Work with data engineers to establish data quality standards and processes for new data products.
- Collaborate with product and analytics teams to define key metrics and reporting requirements for new product offerings.
- Participate in the exploration and adoption of new cloud-based data technologies and tools that can enable innovative data product development.
- Contribute to the documentation of data sources, data models, and data flows for new products.
- Engage with stakeholders to understand their needs and identify unmet market demands that can be addressed through new data product innovations.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of experience manipulating and improving multi-terabyte datasets and a strong understanding of the challenges and best practices associated with large-scale data analysis in a cloud environment.
- 3+ years of experience in AWS, Databricks, or Snowflake and a demonstrated ability to work effectively with data within these environments.
- Deep understanding of healthcare claims data (e.g., medical, pharmacy, dental), including data structures, common data elements, and relevant industry standards, with a strong aptitude for identifying novel applications of this data.
- Exceptional SQL skills with a strong track record of writing complex, efficient, and well-documented queries for data exploration and prototyping.
- Proficiency in Python for data manipulation, analysis, prototyping, and potentially contributing to data pipeline development within a cloud environment.
- Demonstrated experience contributing to established GitHub repositories, showcasing a commitment to high-quality, well-tested, and collaborative code development practices. Please be prepared to share examples of your contributions.
- A strong predisposition towards identifying opportunities for and building scalable data solutions that can form the basis of new products.
- A keen ability to inspect questions and requests from a variety of stakeholders, identify the most exciting or valuable underlying aspects for new product potential, and effectively communicate and energize others around these innovative possibilities.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to independently explore complex datasets and identify potential product opportunities.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate technical findings, product ideas, and architectural considerations.
- A proactive and innovative mindset with a strong interest in exploring new data sources and technologies for product development.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Advanced degree in a relevant technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering) or an MBA with a technical focus.
- Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Power BI) for demonstrating the potential of new data products.
- Experience working with other healthcare-related data (e.g., EMR/EHR, clinical trial data) and identifying potential product synergies.
- Knowledge of market trends and opportunities within the healthcare, life sciences, and consumer analytics spaces.
