At Salud Healthcare, we are transforming how value-based care is delivered by empowering clinical and operational teams with data-driven insights. As a growing MSO, we serve provider groups, supporting better patient outcomes through smart infrastructure, modern technology, and people-first innovation.

We are seeking a hands-on Director of BI & Data Engineering to own the Salud Enterprise Datawarehouse (EDW) on Databricks and the BI solution that sits on top of it. This is a player / coach role: you will personally design and build permanent EDW tables, data models, ETL, and stored procedures, while leading a small team through a disciplined agile delivery process.

Key Responsibilities:

EDW Permanent Table Development (Databricks)

• Design, build, and own the permanent tables of the Databricks EDW — dimensional and normalized data models across the Bronze / Silver / Gold medallion layers and curated data marts.

• Develop and maintain production ETL / ELT pipelines and stored procedures (SQL, Spark / PySpark), and set standards for ingestion from payer, claims, clinical, and Salesforce sources.

• Govern the platform through Delta and Unity Catalog: lineage, access, performance tuning, and per-workload cost management on Azure and Databricks.

• Put data-quality gates in place — freshness, completeness, and reconciliation checks — so upstream disruptions never propagate downstream, and failures are loud and traceable.

Product Owner, Semantic Layer & BI Solution

• Serve as product owner of Salud’s BI solution: own the vision, roadmap, prioritized backlog, requirements, and user acceptance.

• Build and govern the semantic / metrics layer — including Databricks-native semantic capabilities — as the single source of truth for business metrics, so every consumer sees the same numbers.

• Lead development on an enterprise BI platform (e.g., Looker, Omni, MicroStrategy): governed, reusable models and the dashboards leadership and operations run the business on.

• Partner with clinical, operations, finance, and growth stakeholders to translate business questions into data products, and drive adoption across the organization.

Healthcare & Value-Based Care Data

• Bring deep working knowledge of healthcare data — payer, claims, eligibility, membership, and clinical — and model it to support value-based care performance.

• Deliver the analytics that matter in Medicare Advantage and value-based arrangements: HCC / risk adjustment, HEDIS / Stars quality, utilization, MLR, and capitation.

• Enforce HIPAA-aligned controls across the data estate: least-privilege access, private networking, encryption, audit logging, and access review.

Team Leadership & Agile Delivery (Player / Coach)

• Lead, mentor, and grow a small team of data engineers and BI developers, and direct offshore engineering resources; build hiring pipelines and lead interview loops.

• Run a 2-week sprint cadence (JIRA, GitHub, Confluence): requirements defined and frozen per sprint, backlog grooming, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.

• Set engineering standards — PR review, tests that assert effect, CI/CD, and dev / QA / prod parity — and champion AI-assisted development (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) under human review.

• Stay hands-on: contribute code, models, and reviews alongside the team while protecting focus with a single, prioritized roadmap.

Required Qualifications:

• 10+ years in data warehousing, data engineering, and business intelligence, including 3+ years leading teams.

• Strong, hands-on experience building enterprise data warehouse permanent tables: data modeling (dimensional and normalized), ETL / ELT development, and stored procedures; expert SQL.

• Hands-on Databricks experience — lakehouse, Delta, Unity Catalog, SQL warehouses — including semantic layer development.

• Proven experience with an enterprise BI and semantic modeling platform such as Looker (LookML), Omni, or MicroStrategy.

• Experience acting as product owner for a BI or data platform: roadmap, backlog, requirements, and stakeholder adoption.

• Healthcare industry experience is REQUIRED — payer, claims, eligibility, and clinical data and its sensitivity (HIPAA, HITECH, PHI, BAAs). Value-based care experience strongly preferred.

• Proven ability to lead a team through agile processes — sprints, code review, testing, and CI/CD — while remaining a hands-on contributor.

• Excellent communication with executives and business users; you translate between the two.Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data/Information Systems, Statistics, or related field required; Master’s preferred but not required.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Direct experience at a healthcare MSO, IPA, ACO, or other value-based-care organization.

• Medicare Advantage specifics: HEDIS, HCC / risk adjustment, MMR, eligibility, and claims (X12 837/835/834/270/271).

• dbt, Airflow / Astronomer, or comparable data-platform tooling; Azure cloud data services.

• Salesforce data pipelines; FinOps / cloud cost management.

• Experience leading distributed or offshore teams across time zones.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Salary range: $165,000–$195,000

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k).

• Paid time off and company holidays.
