• Demonstrated mastery of modern data architecture styles, including Lakehouse, Data Warehousing, and Event-Based/Event-Driven architecture.
• Hands-on architectural experience with Snowflake (preferred) or Microsoft enterprise cloud data stack.
• Solid understanding of healthcare interoperability standards, specifically FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) and API-driven data interchange.
Preferred Qualifications:
• In-depth understanding of Snowflake data sharing architecture and advanced sharing capabilities.
• Hands-on experience with healthcare data modernizations transitioning legacy data structures into FHIR standards.
• Familiarity with healthcare provider data structures (e.g., NPI Type 1 / Type 2, provider credentialing, and practice workflows).
