The Staff Data Engineer is the senior individual contributor responsible for Medbridge’s data-platform architecture, security, reliability, and data movement. This is a hands-on role for someone who can simplify a developing environment while introducing the engineering rigor required for internal analytics, secure external use, AI workloads, and data-powered product experiences. Success means creating a simpler, more reliable experience for data producers and consumers, not merely moving complexity into new tools. The role partners closely with Analytics Engineering, DevOps, Data Science, Security, Product Engineering, ML, and the Integrations team, leading through influence rather than direct people management.
Own the target-state architecture and technical roadmap for Medbridge’s Snowflake-centered data platform, balancing security, reliability, usability, innovation, cost, and operational complexity.
Build and operate reliable data pipelines and integrations using strong Python and SQL engineering practices, covering ingestion, incremental processing, schema evolution, failure handling, retries, reconciliation, observability, and recovery across key operational and SaaS data sources.
Design and enforce Snowflake security and RBAC , applying least privilege, separation of duties, auditability, secure sharing, retention, monitoring, and appropriate access patterns for internal users, external use cases, service accounts, and AI workloads.
Establish production-grade engineering and platform operations , including testing, version control, code review, CI/CD, secrets management, environment promotion, deployment and rollback, service expectations, monitoring, alerting, incident response, and recovery.
