Job summary

CVS Health is seeking a senior data engineer to own the data foundation behind the Medicare revenue engine. You will design and operate pipelines feeding the projection model, ingesting claims, eligibility, and CMS artifacts while ensuring data quality and auditability.

The role requires 8+ years in data engineering with deep healthcare data knowledge, Databricks/Spark proficiency, Python, SQL, and Airflow, plus experience in risk-adjustment or finance data workloads.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in data engineering.
• 4+ years of healthcare data experience: claims, encounters, eligibility, provider, and clinical/chart sources.
• 4+ years of production experience with Databricks / Spark (PySpark), Python, SQL; Lakehouse / ELT patterns; orchestration (Airflow) and data-quality frameworks.
• 4+ years supporting risk-adjustment, actuarial, or finance workloads (reconciliation, point-in-time history, auditability).
• Strong understanding of PHI, HIPAA, and controls for revenue and CMS-submission data.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate data pipelines and analytic tables feeding the Medicare revenue projection model.
• Ingest, normalize, and reconcile claims/encounters, eligibility, EMR/chart extracts, vendor/program files, and CMS artifacts.
• Implement HCC / ICD-10 mapping, versioning, and year constructs to prevent reverse-engineering source systems.
• Own data quality, reconciliation, lineage, and snapshot/freeze processes for accruals and audits.
• Partner with enterprise data/IT on Databricks lakehouse standards: Spark/PySpark, orchestration, CI/CD, access control, and cost/performance.
• Provide trusted datasets to Modeling, Finance, Actuarial, and Revenue Integrity.
• Define SLAs for freshness and completeness; monitor drift and source-system changes.
• Lead and mentor data engineers; set engineering practices for a regulated, financially sensitive environment.
• Support modular outputs so the engine can evolve without rewriting the warehouse.

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 summary

This 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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years in data engineering

• 4+ years of expert level experience in healthcare data: claims, encounters, eligibility, provider, and clinical/chart sources ;

• 4+ years of hands-on production experience with Databricks / Spark (PySpark), Python, and SQL/ Lakehouse / ELT patterns, orchestration (e.g., Airflow or equivalent), and data-quality frameworks.

• 4+ years of experience supporting risk-adjustment, actuarial, or finance workloads (reconciliation, point-in-time history, auditability).

• Strong understanding of PHI, HIPAA, and controls appropriate to revenue and CMS-submission data.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with 834/837, ICD-10, and HCC assignment.

• SAS (nice to have, especially for legacy actuarial extracts).

• Direct RA file experience (MMR, MOR, MAO-004, EDS/encounter status).

• Prior work on member-level RA engines, suspect/recapture warehouses, or revenue-forecast data products.

Education

• Bachelor’s in CS, engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
