• Break down work into epics, stories, and tasks, partnering with your team to groom, estimate, plan, and deliver on two-week sprints.

• Build and maintain data pipelines
• Design, build, test, and deploy reliable data pipelines that deliver high-quality, timely data.
• Ensure integrations are scalable, well-documented, and aligned with Accolade’s data standards.

• Investigate and resolve data issues
• Analyze and troubleshoot data quality issues raised by partners; perform root cause analysis and drive issues to resolution.
• Partner with internal teams to diagnose platform or processing issues that impact data ingestion or extraction, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance data consistency and reliability.
• Support Issue Management workflows, respond to data-related questions, and proactively identify opportunities to improve data health.

• Develop deep subject-matter expertise
• Analyze data files, layouts, and data dictionaries from healthcare administrative data sources (eligibility, plan/account, medical claims, pharmacy claims).
• Define business and technical requirements, create interface definitions, and produce clear source-to-target mappings.
• Become a subject-matter expert in Accolade’s platform, data model, and integration patterns.
• Help maintain consistency across data models and ensure adherence to standards across multiple customer and platform initiatives.

• Continue learning and innovating
• Participate in learning opportunities, cross-functional training, and innovation projects outside of sprint work.
• Bring forward ideas for improving architecture, tooling, automation, and processes.

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Management, Computer Science/Engineering, Mathematics, Business, or a related field.
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in data-centric testing and database environments—healthcare claims or enrollment data experience is highly preferred.
• Exposure to Talend or other ETL/ELT tools is a plus.
• Strong understanding and experience with SQL, data validation, multidimensional data models, and concepts such as slowly changing dimensions (SCD) and change data capture (CDC).
• Experience working on an Agile team within a CI/CD development environment, with the ability to collaborate effectively and deliver high-quality solutions in fast-paced settings.
• Ability to analyze complex data and process flows, translate business needs into functional specifications, and align data processes with broader business goals.
