[Remote] Lead Analytics Engineer - Data Modeling & Quality
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Arcadia is dedicated to transforming healthcare through data-driven solutions. As a Lead Analytics Engineer — Data Modeling & Quality, you will oversee the SQL and dbt layer that converts raw clinical and claims data into reliable datasets, ensuring data quality and integrity while collaborating across teams to enhance operational efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Author, review, and maintain dbt models using Spark/Hudi from ingest through bronze and silver
- Help clients understand their data model, assumptions, and limitations through intentional validation
- Troubleshoot and fix issues, then write dbt tests to catch issues proactively
- Optimize SQL performance for slow-running jobs
- Partner with Data Engineering on Hudi table design, partition strategy, and incremental patterns
- Triage and classify data quality alerts, distinguishing source-level issues from transform-layer failures
- Design and maintain volume monitors and DQ monitors (null rate, distribution, future-date checks)
- Author and apply clinical DQ rules (entity volume, field coverage, LOINC coverage, referential integrity) and claims validation rules across silver and gold layers
- Conduct quality reviews for connector promotions — evaluating silver entity coverage, validation rule pass rates, and bronze-to-silver transformation correctness
- Own the ticket queue for DQ, attribution, hierarchy, and customer-specific data quality issues, writing clear customer-facing findings
- Lead data quality reviews during connector installation and promotion (UAT → PRD), including claims validation playbooks and null analysis
- Partner with Data Engineering on root-cause triage for errors, ingress anomalies, and silver table issues surfaced through data quality monitoring
- Coordinate with the Measure Implementation Team (MIT) when data quality issues affect quality measure scores
- Contribute to and enforce data modeling standards across teams
Skills
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Business, Economics, or a related field
- Advanced SQL: window functions, complex CTEs, aggregation patterns, performance tuning on columnar databases
- Dbt: hands-on experience authoring models, tests, macros, and yml documentation; familiarity with incremental strategies
- Healthcare data literacy: working knowledge of claims data (professional, institutional, pharmacy), clinical data (EHR entities), and common quality dimensions (member months, coverage rates, null patterns)
- Data quality mindset: ability to differentiate source data issues from transform issues, design systematic validation checks, and communicate data quality findings clearly
- Clear communicator — able to translate technical findings for clients and non-technical stakeholders
- Strong analytical judgment — you can look at a distribution and know when something is wrong
- Ability to manage several projects simultaneously, leveraging AI tooling to stay organized and efficient
- Genuine desire to learn and apply AI tools for operational efficiency
- Experience with Spark SQL and Hudi table format
- Familiarity with data quality monitoring tools
- Comfortable operating in an AI-first environment using Claude to build/verify various day-to-day workflows
