Job Description
In this role, you will build and enhance GCP data pipelines that support a healthcare client’s clinical delivery initiatives, ensuring data is timely, accurate, and fit for downstream analytics and operational needs. You’ll primarily develop Dataflow (Apache Beam) pipelines in Java, implementing transformations, enrichment logic, validation checks, and fault-tolerant handling for both batch and streaming workloads. You will orchestrate end-to-end workflows using Cloud Composer (Airflow), creating DAGs, scheduling dependencies, and managing retries, alerting, and backfills when needed. A typical day includes collaborating with clinical and technical stakeholders to clarify requirements, translate them into pipeline designs, and align on data definitions and acceptance criteria. You’ll monitor pipeline health, investigate failures or performance bottlenecks, and apply optimizations to improve throughput, cost efficiency, and reliability. You will also contribute to DevOps practices—version control, code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD deployments, and environment promotion—while keeping documentation and runbooks current. Throughout, you’ll operate with a strong quality and compliance mindset, helping ensure data handling aligns with healthcare governance expectations and supports dependable clinical delivery outcomes.
