Data Engineer (DevOps / DataOps / Delivery Engineering) — Sr. Associate

Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We help healthcare organizations build innovation capabilities and accelerate key growth initiatives, enabling organizations to own the future, instead of being disrupted by it. Together, we empower clients to create sustainable growth, optimize internal processes and deliver better consumer outcomes.

Health systems, hospitals and medical clinics are under immense pressure to improve clinical outcomes and reduce the cost of providing patient care. Investing in new partnerships, clinical services and technology is not enough to create meaningful and substantive change. To succeed long-term, healthcare organizations must empower leaders, clinicians, employees, affiliates and communities to build cultures that foster innovation to achieve the best outcomes for patients.

Joining the Huron team means you’ll help our clients evolve and adapt to the rapidly changing healthcare environment and optimize existing business operations, improve clinical outcomes, create a more consumer-centric healthcare experience, and drive physician, patient and employee engagement across the enterprise.

Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.

Join the Clinical Insights team as a key part of our engineering organization — a Data Engineer who helps keep clinical data pipelines and client-facing applications running reliably across 10+ client environments every single day. This role supports the full lifecycle of client data infrastructure and application delivery: SFTP ingestion, AWS data lake operations, application environment setup and deployment support, and pipeline monitoring and incident response, working closely with the team’s DataOps lead. You’ll sit at the intersection of DataOps, DevOps, and delivery engineering — comfortable helping configure a new client environment ahead of go-live, triaging a failed Jenkins run before standup, and confirming yesterday’s data loads actually landed.

This is not a business intelligence or analytics role. You’ll build and operate the infrastructure that the entire product and client delivery organization depends on.

This role reports to the team’s DataOps lead and works under their technical direction on environment provisioning, infrastructure changes, and architectural decisions.

Role Summary

In This Role, You Will

• Support daily operation and monitoring of data pipelines across 10+ concurrent client environments, triaging failures (no-data, bad-data, and processing errors) and escalating complex issues to the DataOps lead before they affect client-facing reporting.
• Set up, configure, and support deployment of client-facing applications — from environment setup through go-live stabilization and ongoing support.
• Validate that daily data flows complete successfully across all client environments — at a console/log level day to day, diving deeper into pipeline and application logs when something doesn’t look right.
• Support provisioning and configuration of new client environments — SFTP ingestion setup, instance provisioning, access controls, and coordination with client IT teams on file formats, schedules, and encryption — partnering with the DataOps lead on more complex setups.
• Contribute to the team’s CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins), AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, Lambda, EventBridge, IAM), and Posit Connect analytics hosting platform, under the DataOps lead’s direction.
• Build and maintain monitoring and alerting for pipeline health — distinguishing failure types, reducing false alarms, and keeping the team ahead of client-visible data issues.
• Maintain runbooks and documentation so operational knowledge is transferable, not siloed in one person’s head.

Key Responsibilities

Application Deployment & Support

• Help set up and configure client application environments ahead of deployment, including app and infrastructure configuration.
• Run and support production deployments, including go-live stabilization and post-launch monitoring.
• Validate that daily data loads and refreshes complete successfully for every client application — console-level checks as the first pass, with deeper investigation when volumes or completion look off.
• Investigate application and data load issues when flagged, diagnosing root cause across the pipeline and application layers, with support from senior team members o…
