Job Description

We’re looking for a skilled Data Migration Engineer consultant to bootstrap and support our conversion and integration of flat CSV files into statistical analysis platforms including SPSS , SAS , STATA, and R. You will collaborate with the CTO and other developers to ensure clean, structured, and efficient data flow across platforms.

The ideal candidate will bring expertise in at least one of these platforms and solid experience with Java programming to develop, maintain, and automate data processing pipelines. Experience with existing APIs and third-party tools is a major plus as we do not need to reinvent the wheel.

This role is initially intended as a project-based contract but could morph into a full-time position for the proper candidate who can show growth and fit for our future engineering plans. Preference will be given to local candidates. EmpiraMed is a mostly virtual company but being able to connect locally as necessary is preferred.

Key Responsibilities

· Design and implement processes for transforming and migrating data from flat CSV files to SPSS, SAS, STATA, and R environments

· Write robust and maintainable Java code to support data ingestion, validation, and export routines

· Collaborate with stakeholders to understand data requirements and ensure compatibility with statistical analysis tools

· Develop tools to automate repetitive migration tasks and reduce manual overhead

· Ensure data integrity, consistency, and security during the migration process

· Maintain documentation for workflows, code, and processes

· Troubleshoot and resolve issues in data transformation or tool integration

Required Qualifications & Experience

· 2+ years of experience in data transformation, migration, or engineering roles

· Proven experience with at least one of the following : SPSS, SAS, STATA, or R (e.g., writing scripts, importing/exporting data, working within analysis environments). Demonstrable experience with more than one of the above applications is preferred.

· Strong programming skills in Java (e.g., file I/O, data parsing, integration with third-party tools)

· Experience handling structured flat files (CSV specifically) and managing large datasets

· Familiarity with data cleaning, formatting, and schema alignment

· Solid understanding of statistical data formats and workflows

· Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

· Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Preferred Skills & Nice-to-Haves

· Experience integrating Java applications with statistical analysis libraries or APIs

· Background in healthcare, survey research, or social sciences data

· Familiarity with additional scripting languages such as Python or Bash a bonus

· Experience with version control

Company Description

Over our dozen years in business, EmpiraMed has developed a patient engagement software platform called the PRO Portal to capture patient reported outcomes (PRO) to better measure what works and what doesn’t work in the real world. Our unique rules-based approach completely automates all patient interactions via the web and any mobile device while seamlessly integrating healthcare personnel patient recruitment and follow-up to execute studies or programs in less time, at lower cost, and with greater flexibility. In a phase II, III, or IV clinical trial, our system captures ePROs and feeds the study EDC system. For observational studies, our platform becomes the EDC housing all study data. These post-market studies typically suffer from poor patient participation so our portal includes novel incentives that have boosted compliance to 3X what’s available today. Using our EMR integration framework with validity analytics, bias inherent in current PRO methods can be made more transparent and minimized. Most of the information we capture will not exist in the clinical record, EMR, clinical trial literature, or claims data but we can tie those sources of information as well as Passive Monitoring Data from wearable devices into one complete view of real world patient experience. In addition to monitoring patients, our real-time, dynamic system can trigger educational content and intervention alerts at any time for any event to directly improve patient care as part of a disease management (DM) quality improvement program. Our customers have included Merck Sharp & Dohme, Biogen, Janssen, Sanofi, United Therapeutics, and Takeda. We also have collaboration agreements in place with numerous healthcare providers, academic medical centers, CROs, AROs, specialty pharmacy providers (SPPs), PBMs, health plans, direct-to-patient outreach companies, biostatistics firms, and epidemiology/health economic research centers.

We are a virtual company with most employees located in Metro West Massachusetts.
