• Knowledge of databases and database querying.
• 8+ years of experience testing and validating automated data-integration solutions.
• Ability to develop reports that document system requirements and translate programmatic and business needs into technical solutions.
• Ability to document code and technical specifications to improve workflows and procedures.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical staff.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with electronic case reporting (eCR/eICR), Electronic Health Records, or Health Information Exchange.
• Experience with healthcare interoperability standards such as HL7, XML, or FHIR, and clinical terminology standards such as SNOMED CT.
• Experience with SQL and relational databases.
• Experience with public health surveillance systems or registries.
