We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes.\nHealth systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients.\nJoining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise.\nJoin our team as the expert you are now and create your future.\nJoin the Clinical Insights team as a key part of our engineering organization - a Data Engineer who helps keep clinical data pipelines and client-facing applications running reliably across 10+ client environments every single day. This role supports the full lifecycle of client data infrastructure and application delivery: SFTP ingestion, AWS data lake operations, application environment setup and deployment support, and pipeline monitoring and incident response, working closely with the team's DataOps lead. You'll sit at the intersection of DataOps, DevOps, and delivery engineering - comfortable helping configure a new client environment ahead of go-live, triaging a failed Jenkins run before standup, and confirming yesterday's data loads actually landed.This is not a business intelligence or analytics role. You'll build and operate the infrastructure that the entire product and client delivery organization depends on.\nThis role reports to the team's DataOps lead and works under their technical direction on environment provisioning, infrastructure changes, and architectural decisions.\nRole Summary\nIn this role, you will:\nSupport daily operation and monitoring of data pipelines across 10+ concurrent client environments, triaging failures (no-data, bad-data, and processing errors) and escalating complex issues to the DataOps lead before they affect client-facing reporting.\nSet up, configure, and support deployment of client-facing applications - from environment setup through go-live stabilization and ongoing support.\nValidate that daily data flows complete successfully across all client environments - at a console/log level day to day, diving deeper into pipeline and application logs when something doesn't look right.\nSupport provisioning and configuration of new client environments - SFTP ingestion setup, instance provisioning, access controls, and coordination with client IT teams on file formats, schedules, and encryption - partnering with the DataOps lead on more complex setups.\nContribute to the team's CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins), AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, Lambda, EventBridge, IAM), and Posit Connect analytics hosting platform, under the DataOps lead's direction.\nBuild and maintain monitoring and alerting for pipeline health - distinguishing failure types, reducing false alarms, and keeping the team ahead of client-visible data issues.\nMaintain runbooks and documentation so operational knowledge is transferable, not siloed in one person's head.\nKey Responsibilities\nApplication Deployment & Support\nHelp set up and configure client application environments ahead of deployment, including app and infrastructure configuration.\nRun and support production deployments, including go-live stabilization and post-launch monitoring.\nValidate that daily data loads and refreshes complete successfully for every client application - console-level checks as the first pass, with deeper investigation when volumes or completion look off.\nInvestigate application and data load issues when flagged, diagnosing root cause across the pipeline and application layers, with support from senior team members on complex cases.\nData Pipeline Engineering\nBuild and maintain client-specific data ingestion pipelines (SFTP, S3, event-driven triggers, file validation), with architectural guidance from the DataOps lead.\nBuild and maintain standardized data validation scripts - a reusable QA framework applied across client environments.\nIngest historical data for new client onboardings and resolve data quality incidents (missing files, null values, file extension issues, reprocessing).\nSupport the team's upcoming migration of the data lake and core tables to Snowflake, the next major infrastructure initiative following this year's Athena consolidation.\nDataOps & Pipeline Monitoring\nOperate and monitor the daily processing pipeline across all client environments; distinguish lambda failures from regular pipeline failures to reduce false alarms.\nBuild data integrity alerts (e.g., null DRGs, late file delivery, failed runs) and route them to the team in real time.\nInvestigate and resolve daily processing failures - root cause analysis, temporary fixes, and permanent remediation.\nManage AWS Lambda functions - version control, deployment, and event-driven triggering (SNS/SQS).\nBuild data volume QC dashboards to track pipeline health across clients.\nInfrastructure & Platform\nHelp manage AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, RDS, Athena, IAM, Lambda, SNS/SQS) across all client deployments, under the direction of the DataOps lead.\nSupport Posit Connect administration - configuration, user access, and runtime management for the team's R-based reporting stack.\nProvision new client instances - database setup, ingestion configuration, and access controls.\nHandle SAML/SSO certificate management and PGP encryption setup for secure client file delivery.\nHelp enforce code repository governance - branch protection, PR approval requirements, and deployment controls.\nDevOps & CI/CD\nBuild and maintain Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines (dev → staging → production).\nSet up and validate development and staging environments.\nMaintain runbooks for all operational procedures.\nSupport the team's Docker-based mono repo deployment architecture across client environments.\nExecute and document client offboarding processes.\nSecurity & Compliance\nSupport Huron mandatory compliance activities, PHI data classification, and audit control documentation.\nManage certificate renewals, access restriction enforcement, and credential rotation (SMTP, IAM).\nRequired Qualifications\nU.S. work authorization is required.\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).\n2-3+ years of experience in data engineering, DevOps, or DataOps roles, including hands-on experience supporting production data pipelines.\nStrong hands-on experience with AWS data pipeline infrastructure - S3, Athena, Lambda, EC2, and event-driven architectures (SNS/SQS).\nStrong Python scripting ability for data ingestion, validation, and pipeline automation; comfort with Bash.\nExperience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins or equivalent) and Git-based version control practices (branch protection, PR workflows).\nExperience setting up, configuring, and supporting application deployments - not just writing pipeline code.\nExperience managing multi-client or multi-tenant data environments, including onboarding and provisioning new environments.\nExperience participating in incident response and root cause analysis for data pipeline and application issues - this is an operations-heavy role, not a build-only role.\nComfortable working as a generalist across infrastructure, data engineering, and DevOps simultaneously, in a fast-moving, client-driven environment where priorities can shift mid-sprint.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with Snowflake or other modern cloud data warehouse platforms - the team is migrating its data lake and core tables to Snowflake as its next major infrastructure initiative.\nPosit Connect or R/Shiny environment familiarity.\nDocker and containerized deployment experience.\nSAML/SSO certificate management and cloud security practices (IAM key rotation, PGP encryption).\nHealthcare data environment experience - SFTP clinical file delivery, PHI handling, HL7/ADT familiarity.\nExperience building monitoring and alerting systems for data pipelines.\nOccasional direct client IT coordination experience (file delivery issues, certificate renewals, data quality questions).\nThe estimated base salary for this job is $110,000 - $150,000 USD. The range represents a good faith estimate of the range that Huron reasonably expects to pay for this job at the time of the job posting.
