Role Overview

The Junior Data Integration Engineer will support system and data integrations across multiple healthcare platforms and third-party vendors. This role sits within the Data Engineering and Systems Integration team and works closely with a Senior Integration Lead to automate data feeds, maintain pipelines, and support ongoing integration initiatives.

• Develop and maintain data integrations using Python for automation and SQL for data extraction, transformation, and loading.

• Work with APIs to move data between systems and external vendors (eligibility checks, address verification, supplemental services).
• Maintain and monitor existing data pipelines and underlying data models.
• Troubleshoot integration issues and support data quality and reliability.
• Collaborate closely with the Systems Integration Lead on design, implementation, and optimization of integrations.
• Contribute to other data engineering or integration initiatives as needed based on team priorities.

• Strong working knowledge of SQL for querying, data manipulation, and pipeline support.
• Hands‑on experience with Python for automation and integration work.
• Exposure to API‑based integrations between systems.
• Healthcare domain experience required (provider, payer, health plan, or healthcare technology vendor).
• Ability to work independently while taking technical direction from senior team members.

Preferred Skills

• Experience supporting healthcare systems such as EHR, care management, or pharmacy platforms.
• Familiarity with data warehousing concepts and ETL processes.
• Experience maintaining data pipelines and data models.
• Exposure to cloud environments (Azure is a plus, not required).
