  • You take ownership, think critically, and solve problems independently-while empowering your team to do the same.

Responsibilities

  • Lead a pod of 2-3 Forward Deployed Engineers, mentoring and developing forward-deployed consultants while delivering against tight partner timelines (initial rollout target: <90 days from kickoff)
  • Serve as the primary technical relationship owner for your partners' data and IT teams-running orientation calls, scoping sessions, and executive check-ins at the CTO/CMIO level, and bringing a consultant's ability to communicate complex technical decisions to senior stakeholders

  • Collaborate with the Product, AI Engineering and Data Science teams to scope new workflow data requirements, support product prototyping initiatives, and ensure pipeline outputs support backtesting, production inference, and evaluation
  • Drive continuous improvement of integration patterns, tooling, and technical standards-building reusable components that accelerate future deployments and raise the quality bar across the team
  • 7+ years as a data engineer or engineering leader, with experience building production data pipelines, leading technical teams, and owning client relationships end-to-end
  • Consultant mindset: the ability to earn partner trust quickly, adapt to new environments, and deliver high-quality outcomes under tight timelines
  • Design and build data pipelines that ingest Epic Clarity data, transform it through FHIR standards, and deliver AI-ready datasets via Delta Lake and Delta Sharing-the foundation for everything the product does; leverage AI-assisted development tooling to accelerate delivery and improve quality
