IHS, an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, is the principal federal health care provider and health advocate for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people. This role supports a mission-critical modernization effort: retiring the Resource and Patient Management System (RPMS) and moving to a new electronic health record (EHR) system.

At GDIT, people are our differentiator. As a Cloud Data Engineer, you’ll help deliver cutting-edge cloud and data solutions that directly support improved healthcare outcomes while growing your career in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

• Create and optimize PySpark processes for large-scale healthcare data transformation and enrichment.
• Build and maintain enterprise data models to standardize clinical information across facilities and data sources.
• Implement monitoring and alerting solutions to ensure data quality, reliability, and pipeline performance.
• Collaborate with architects, data engineers, and stakeholders to define cloud data architecture and integration patterns.
• Provide technical leadership on Azure cloud and data engineering best practices.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCCEED

• Technical training, certification(s), or degree and 3+ years of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Ability to serve as a lead big data engineer on database migration and Azure-based data pipeline initiatives.
• Extensive experience with Azure data services, including:
  • Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
  • Azure Synapse Analytics
  • Azure Data Factory
  • Azure Monitor
  • Spark clusters (e.g., Synapse Spark, Databricks, or HDInsight)
• Proficiency in SQL and data modeling for enterprise-scale databases and analytics environments.
• Strong programming skills in Python (including PySpark) and .NET for large-scale data processing and integration.
• Experience developing Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Bicep, ARM templates, Terraform) and RESTful APIs in Azure.
• Track record of implementing CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices for data-oriented solutions.

NICE TO HAVE

• Relevant Azure certifications such as:
  • Azure Data Engineer Associate (DP-203)
  • Azure Database Administrator Associate (DP-300)
  • Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305)
• Experience in healthcare data systems and clinical data workflows.
• Advanced Power BI data visualization and semantic model development skills.
• Experience with HL7 FHIR implementation and healthcare data standards.
• Experience with Agile methodologies and technical team leadership or mentorship.
• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
