You will:
- Act as a self-starter who drives execution independently, taking ownership and initiative with minimal need for day-to-day direction.
- Lead high-visibility RWE projects, starting with claims data, and keep multiple initiatives moving by proactively unblocking teams.
- Own the end-to-end architecture for critical data assets, ensuring solutions are scalable, reliable, and aligned with H1’s long-term vision.
- Design, build, and optimize large-scale data pipelines (hundreds of TBs) for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
- Partner with Product, Data Science, and downstream engineering teams to align priorities, manage dependencies, and deliver high-value outcomes.
- Represent engineering in cross-functional forums, shaping roadmaps and reducing reliance on senior leadership for day-to-day decisions.
- Develop deep domain expertise and mentor other engineers, helping raise the technical bar and influence the evolution of our data products.

- You have a proven track record of leading large, complex technical projects from concept to production.
- You bring deep experience building and evolving large-scale data architectures, pipelines, or distributed systems.
- You operate well in high-ambiguity environments, make pragmatic trade-offs, and keep execution moving.

- Strong proficiency in SQL, including writing and optimizing complex queries over large datasets.
- Strong programming experience in Python (or a modern language with the ability to quickly ramp up in Python).
- Experience designing systems or large-scale datasets/pipelines with attention to performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Hands-on experience with modern engineering workflows and tooling such as Git, JIRA, and CI/CD systems (e.g., CircleCI).
- Comfort deploying and troubleshooting distributed workloads in cloud environments such as AWS EMR or Kubernetes.
- Experience with workflow orchestration or job scheduling tools (e.g., Airflow, Argo).
- Demonstrated ability to independently drive complex, cross-team technical initiatives and influence stakeholders without formal authority.
