Why This Role Is Important to Arcadia

Life sciences customers depend on Arcadia's real-world data to power drug development, safety surveillance, and outcomes research. As LS deal volume accelerates, the engineering foundation underneath delivery, i.e. quality, automation, data transformation evolution, and scale must keep pace.

This is a hybrid role at the intersection of data engineering, data analysis, and delivery operations. You'll refactor, scale, own, and operate an automated RWD data delivery pipeline via dbt/AWS architecture, serving as the primary technical point of contact for channel partners.

You write production-grade PySpark and dbt one day and may facilitate a data inquiry the next. You care deeply about both the correctness of the code and the clarity of the answer it produces. You're as comfortable in a GitHub PR as you are in a partner meeting.

This is a foundational engineering role in a growing LS organization. The right person will help build the team as the business scales.

In 3 months

Deep familiarity with the end-to-end LS pipeline-from ingestion through dbt transformation, de-identification, and delivery-including the current Snowflake-based scripts and what will replace them
Ownership of the channel partner data inquiry queue; resolving standard requests independently by leveraging AI agents, closing out in writing and in accordance with SLAs
First contribution to the delivery pipeline codebase: a new or refactored dbt model, a PySpark debugging fix, or a validated QC delivery configuration
Thorough understanding of the monthly delivery cycle: Argo orchestration, Snowflake execution, manifest generation, Datavant/HealthVerity/IQVIA tokenization, and delivery QC

In 6 months

Core delivery endpoint configurations migrated from manual Snowflake runbook to config-as-code; existing channel partners delivered with minimal manual script execution
Contributing increasingly receptive metrics toward a data quality scorecard, tracking pipeline health, completeness, and refresh SLAs across all channel partners
PHI de-identification compliance implementation process owned end-to-end, with clear documentation of rules applied
Strong working partnerships established with platform engineering (Data Engineering, TechOps) with clear interfaces and shared standards

In 12 months

Monthly delivery cycle runs automatically; manual Snowflake execution eliminated; delivery cycle time reduced
Recognized internally as the technical authority on the LS data engineering architecture and delivery pipeline
Test suites, acceptance criteria, and release documentation authored for all major pipeline changes
Potentially beginning to mentor a junior team member as the LS delivery organization grows

RWD DATA PIPELINE ENGINEERING

Author and maintain dbt models and PySpark transformation jobs, replacing ad-hoc Snowflake scripts with governed, version-controlled, tested code

Design and implement delivery endpoint configurations as code-customer, delivery target (Snowflake, S3), cadence, cohort filters, incremental and full historical refresh methods

Write production-grade Python and PySpark for data transformation, validation automation, and delivery pipeline components, including customer-specific data models and schema validation logic

Configure and maintain AWS S3 delivery paths, Apache Iceberg table structures, and file staging patterns for partner data delivery

Partner with platform engineering to build and extend Argo Workflows orchestration for automated delivery execution, eliminating the manual monthly Snowflake runbook

Implement and maintain HIPAA de-identification compliance rules in pipeline code in accordance with ED certificates; coordinate certification updates when new data elements or rule changes affect certified products

DELIVERY OPERATIONS & DATA QUALITY

Coordinate and execute monthly RWD deliveries across all active channel partners: delivery job execution, manifest generation and validation, tokenization workflows, and QC

Define and monitor delivery quality metrics: pipeline health, data completeness, referential integrity, refresh SLA tracking, and minimum volume thresholds; manage on-time delivery against a >=95% target

Validate dbt model outputs and pipeline changes against expected schema and counts; define acceptance criteria and execute UAT before changes reach production or channel partners

DATA INVESTIGATIONS & PARTNER SUPPORT

Own the channel partner data inquiry queue-triage, investigate, resolve, and communicate on data questions and discrepancies; you are the primary research contact for channel partners

Conduct root cause analysis on anomalies in RWD, claims, and clinical feeds, distinguishing source-level issues from transform-layer failures, and communicate findings clearly in writing

Build and maintain repeatable query libraries, data dictionaries, and end-to-end pipeline documentation in Confluence, reducing one-off analytical effort and improving institutional knowledge

Build out a knowledge repository of learnings from all data inquiries, and partner with VP to provide a data FAQ for LS customers

Contribute to data quality governance: build scorecards and trend analyses that equip leadership with evidence-based positions for engineering and product discussions

ENGINEERING PRACTICES & COLLABORATION

Follow SDLC best practices: author requirements, write test plans, manage releases, and maintain operating documentation in Confluence

Manage engineering work through Jira: clear ticket authoring, acceptance criteria, dependency tracking, and proactive status communication

Apply CI/CD practices via GitHub: branch management, PR-based review workflows, dbt model testing, and version control discipline-the version in production always matches what's in Git

Partner closely with Arcadia's platform engineering team on pipeline architecture, table design, and data contracts

Leverage AI tools (including Claude Code) to accelerate development, automate documentation, generate and verify code, and improve operational throughout

TECHNOLOGIES

Pipeline & transformation: dbt-Spark, PySpark, Python, SQL

Orchestration: Argo Workflows, Kubernetes

Storage: AWS S3, Apache Iceberg, AWS Glacier

Warehousing: Snowflake (delivery target, Iceberg, analytics)

Person De-identification and Tokenization Processes

Source control & CI/CD: Git / GitHub, PR-based review workflows

Workflow & observability: Jira, Confluence, etc.

AI tooling: Claude, ChatGPT

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience)

5+ years of hands-on data engineering experience (production pipelines, dbt, Spark/PySpark, cloud data infrastructure) AND 5+ years of direct experience with life sciences RWD data (claims, EHR, clinical); these disciplines can overlap-5 years total is sufficient if you bring meaningful depth in both

Production-grade SQL proficiency in Snowflake or a comparable columnar warehouse: complex joins, CTEs, window functions, incremental patterns – you write this fluently

Python and/or PySpark for data transformation: you have written and debugged production Spark jobs, not just automation scripts

dbt: hands-on experience authoring models, tests, macros, and yml documentation; familiarity with incremental strategies and model validation

AWS S3: practical experience with file staging, delivery paths, bucket structure, and lifecycle management in a data engineering context

HIPAA de-identification: working knowledge of Safe Harbor requirements and how they are applied in data pipelines before data leaves your custody

SDLC fundamentals: you write requirements, author test plans, manage releases, and document your work – this is not new to you

CI/CD and source control: Git/GitHub, PR-based review workflows, branching strategies

External customer experience: you have led (or actively presented within) technical data discussions with partner analytics or science teams and can communicate complex data concepts clearly in writing and verbally

Self-starter who operates independently in ambiguous, high-growth environments and a natural collaborator when the work calls for it

Strong analytical judgment – you can look at a distribution and know when something is wrong

Clear communicator – able to translate technical pipeline findings for partners and non-technical stakeholders

Builder's mindset – you don't just answer the question in front of you, you eliminate the conditions that caused it
