Lead Data Platform Engineer; Manager​/Architect

Position: Lead Data Platform Engineer (Manager / Architect)
Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. 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.

Health 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.

Joining 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.

Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.

We are looking for a Lead Data Engineer to provide technical leadership for our engineering team and take on one of our most strategically important challenges: unifying a diverse ecosystem of analytics applications under a coherent, scalable technology platform. Our analytics landscape has grown organically across multiple teams and products. The result is a collection of powerful but siloed tools, each with its own technology stack, data contracts, and deployment patterns.

You'll join a team that acts as the connective tissue bringing these applications together, making pragmatic decisions about when to consolidate and when to preserve the right tool for the right job. This role is for an engineer who is energized by ambiguity, skilled at reading distributed systems, and opinionated (but flexible) about platform design. You will work directly with engineering leads and data teams.

As the team's technical lead, you will guide and mentor other engineers while remaining a hands-on contributor.

What You'll Do Technical Leadership Set technical direction for a small team of platform engineers, translating requirements and architecture guidance into well-scoped, sequenced work Mentor engineers through pairing, code review, and design feedback, raising the team's standards for quality, testing, and documentation Coordinate delivery across contributors, including distributed team members, surfacing risks and dependencies early Remain a primary hands-on contributor to the team's most complex integration and platform work Platform Unification & Integration Audit existing analytics applications to understand their underlying technology choices, data flows, and integration points Design and implement integration patterns (APIs, event streams, shared data contracts) that allow siloed applications to interoperate without unnecessary rewrites Build and maintain shared platform services (authentication, observability, configuration management, logging) that reduce duplication across applications Data Pipeline & ETL Engineering Develop a deep understanding of existing data pipelines owned by distributed teams, including their data sources, transformation logic, and dependencies Partner with domain teams who have the deepest knowledge of their own data, acting as an integration architect and collaborator rather than a centralized pipeline owner;

identify unification opportunities but defer to domain expertise on data semantics and processing logic Cloud…
