Job description

We’re building a world of health around every individual — shaping a more connected, convenient and compassionate health experience. At CVS Health®, you’ll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do. Join us and be part of something bigger – helping to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time.

Role summaryThis role owns the data foundation that the Medicare revenue engine runs on. It requires an expert in healthcare and risk-adjustment data, including claims, encounters, eligibility, clinical/chart sources, and CMS payment and diagnosis files. Expertisein production-grade platforms (Databricks / Spark lakehouse, Python, SQL) is also required. The job is to make member-month, diagnosis, and payment data timely, complete, lineage-traced, and auditable so Finance can forecast and book revenue with confidence.

• Design, build, and operate the data pipelines and analytic tables that feed the Medicare revenue projection model (member-month grain, HCC/diagnosis history, engagement/visit flags, CMS files, program attributes).
• Ingest, normalize, and reconcile: claims/encounters (837 and internal), eligibility/enrollment, EMR/chart extracts, vendor/program files, and CMS artifacts (MMR, MOR, MAO-004, and related).
• Implement HCC / ICD-10 mapping, model-year (e.g., V24/V28) versioning, and diagnosis-year vs. payment-year constructs so modelers do not have to reverse-engineer source systems.
• Own data quality, reconciliation, lineage, and snapshot/freeze processes required for accruals, AtoE, and audit.
• Partner with enterprise data/IT on Databricks (or equivalent) lakehouse standards: Spark/PySpark, orchestration, CI/CD, access control, and cost/performance.
• Provide trusted, documented datasets to Modeling, Finance, Actuarial, and (as needed) Revenue Integrity.
• Define SLAs for freshness and completeness; monitor drift and source-system changes that would invalidate forecasts.
• Lead and mentor data engineers; set engineering practices for a regulated, financially sensitive environment.
• Support modular outputs (revenue, membership/mix, other items) so the engine can evolve without rewriting the warehouse.
