As a Data Engineer at Salt Square, you will build and maintain scalable healthcare data pipelines, transform legacy claims and clinical data into the FHIR® (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standard, and support population health analytics and regulatory compliance for payers and providers.
We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to design, implement, and optimize scalable data solutions. You will work with modern data technologies, distributed systems, and cloud platforms to build efficient, high-performance data pipelines that support analytics, AI/ML, and business intelligence initiatives.
Typical Responsibilities
Reverse-engineer legacy transformation logic across NiFi flows, PostgreSQL views and materialized views, and custom FHIR mappings
Develop Python tooling to parse NiFi flow definitions (XML/JSON, NiFi 1.12 and 1.19) and flatten nested process groups into a readable, ordered structure
Design, develop, and implement robust ETL/ELT pipelines for large-scale data ingestion, transformation, and storage, including rebuilding data feeds with dbt models and Trino MERGE transformations
Use AI coding agents to accelerate development while rigorously reviewing the generated code
Ensure data quality, integrity, and governance through validation techniques, data monitoring, and automated testing
Design and execute parity validation between legacy and new outputs, respecting restrictions on moving row-level data outside protected environments
Automate deployments and testing using CI/CD pipelines with Git, Terraform, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins
Develop alerting, monitoring, and observability frameworks for data pipelines to ensure reliability and proactive issue resolution
Design and build custom data tools and abstractions to support analytics, machine learning, and real-time data processing
Document legacy bugs, ambiguities, and obsolete code paths without unnecessarily blocking migration progress
Help establish a repeatable, templated migration workflow that can scale across multiple environments
Contribute to data architecture and strategy, driving improvements in scalability, performance, and cost optimization
Stay up to date with emerging technologies and best practices to continuously enhance data engineering capabilities
