Data Engineer

Insight Global is looking for a Data Engineer to join a dedicated team building and evolving a clinical data platform serving the clinical operations space. You will architect and build the large-scale data pipelines that power clinical insights — processing billions of records across medical claims, clinical trials, publications, and provider data.

This is a core infrastructure role. You will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining ETL frameworks that feed into analytics, machine learning, and product surfaces. You should be deeply comfortable with distributed computing at scale and experienced working alongside ML and data science teams in production environments.

Responsibilities Include:
· Design, build, and maintain large-scale ETL pipelines and data frameworks using Apache Spark (PySpark/Scala) on cloud infrastructure
· Architect scalable data models and pipeline patterns to process structured and unstructured healthcare data at volume
· Build and optimize data layers on Azure cloud services, including Databricks, Delta Lake, and supporting compute and storage infrastructure
· Ensure data quality, lineage, and governance across the platform — implementing validation, monitoring, and alerting at scale
· Collaborate with AI Scientists and MLOps teams to build data pipelines that serve model training, inference, and retraining workflows
· Work with data analysts and product teams to ensure curated, reliable data is available for downstream insights and reporting
· Contribute to platform architecture decisions and help define best practices for data engineering within the team
