Salary Range

$140,000- $160,000 commensurate with experience

Location

Remote- Must be US based, and able to work with no restrictions in the US in a remote home office.

How Data Architects Empower Recovery

Enterprise Data Architecture

• Design end-to-end Azure data architecture (ingestion, staging, curated, reporting layers)

• Define enterprise data domains (Clinical, RCM, CRM, Finance)

• Establish canonical data models (e.g., Patient, Encounter, Claim, Revenue)

• Reverse engineer and document the Avatar NX data model, including:

  • Table structures, relationships, and data flows
  • Enterprise ERDs and logical models
  • Mapping vendor-specific schemas to normalized structures
  • Interpreting and modeling data from a non-traditional database architecture (InterSystems Caché/IRIS), where the SQL layer represents an abstraction over a non-relational core, resulting in limited schema transparency, minimal documentation, and increased complexity in reverse engineering

Integration Strategy

• Define integration patterns across:

  • Avatar NX (EHR and billing logic)
  • Salesforce (CRM and engagement)
  • Financial systems (GL and revenue recognition)

• Standardize data contracts and exchange patterns (batch, API, event-driven)

Data Governance & Standards

• Establish standards for naming, definitions, and data quality
• Implement governance for billing rules and derived logic
• Lead development of a data catalog, business glossary, and lineage framework
• Ensure reverse-engineered models are documented and version-controlled
• Ensure data models, pipelines, and architectural artifacts are managed using enterprise source control practices (e.g., Git) to support auditability and traceability

Rule & Revenue Transparency

• Define architecture for rule outcome (inferred) tracking within Azure
• Enable reconciliation between NX and downstream financial systems
• Ensure billing logic is auditable, traceable, and explainable

Collaboration

• Partner with Finance, RCM, Operations, IT, and Analytics leadership
• Provide architectural guidance to Data Modelers, Developers, and DBAs

Education Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or a related technical field

Professional Qualifications

• 7+ years in data architecture, data modeling, or enterprise data engineering

• Hands-on experience designing data platforms in Azure (ADF, Synapse, Data Lake, SQL)

• Demonstrated experience integrating EHR, CRM, and financial systems

• Proven experience working with EHR vendor databases (e.g., Netsmart Avatar NX, Epic, Cerner, or similar)

• Hands-on experience reverse engineering undocumented or poorly documented schemas, including:

  • Identifying table relationships and key linkages
  • Reconstructing data models from source systems
  • Building ERDs from live databases rather than vendor documentation

• Experience translating complex clinical and billing data structures into usable enterprise models

• Ability to work with stakeholders to validate inferred logic (e.g., encounter flows, billing rules, documentation timing)

• Strong expertise in relational and dimensional data modeling

• Experience establishing canonical data models across domains (clinical, financial, operational)

• Experience implementing data governance frameworks, lineage, and data quality controls

• Advanced SQL Server expertise (querying, schema analysis, performance tuning)

• Experience with large, complex, highly normalized transactional systems

• Proficiency with source control and version management tools (e.g., Git), including branching strategies, pull requests, and versioning of data models, pipelines, and schema definitions

Preferred Experience

• Experience in the Healthcare industry, data domains (clinical workflows, RCM, compliance)
• Experience supporting finance and revenue cycle reporting (AR, billing, reconciliation)
• Familiarity with Power BI, SSRS, or other reporting platforms
• Experience working in environments with limited vendor transparency or documentation

Workplace Environment

• Requires long periods of sitting (95% sitting, 5% standing)
• Extensive computer use

Competencies

• Technical Architecture
• Data Governance & Quality
• Business & Strategy Alignment
• Leadership & Influence
