You will be supporting projects that require harmonization of source data models to/from common data models such as OMOP or FHIR. Occasionally, this may include custom data models, depending on product/project needs. You will be collaborating with clinical terminologists, medical informatics architects, data engineers, and data scientists to produce data sets that are ready for analysis or model building. You will also be responsible for creating and applying tests to the data pipeline using state of the art approaches, ensuring that the mapped data retain the same semantics as the original data within the context of specific use cases.
In addition to supporting specific projects with analytics engineering needs, you will also leverage this experience to help design and develop scalable ways for mapping data.

* Integrate vocabularies/terminologies using REST APIs and/or via relational tables
* Co-create scalable approaches for mapping data using declarative and functional programming approaches
* Understand the complexities of RWD use cases from both business and IT/technical perspectives and develop a strategic approach to balance short-term benefits and long-term costs and contribute and share learnings throughout RWD communities
* Partner with data scientists to understand and address their needs as well as with IT business domain leadership to influence product roadmaps
Who you are:
