Lead Data Engineer

What you will do

• Design, build, and maintain automation solutions (primarily Power Automate) to reduce manual effort in evidence workflows.
• Implement and maintain REST API integrations to connect systems (e.g., DistillerSR, SharePoint, Power BI) and enable seamless, scheduled data flow.
• Develop reusable, scalable data pipelines and processes (automated extract → store → refresh cycles).
• Operationalize agreed data structures; migrate and maintain structured evidence data into controlled, analytics-ready datasets.
• Implement processes to monitor data quality, keeping data accurate, traceable, and available for stakeholders.
• Build and maintain Power BI dashboards from CDS-managed datasets to enable scalable reporting and evidence visibility.
• Enable self-service analytics so stakeholders can access insights without ad-hoc requests.
• Explore and implement AI-enabled solutions (e.g., agents that transform unstructured clinical report content into structured data).
• Identify and eliminate manual, repetitive work; document and maintain solutions across updates.
• Help build repeatable ways of working - shared methods, templates, and clear documentation - so solutions are easy to maintain and reuse across teams and time zones.
