Job Description

Data Engineer - REMOTE

Why you want to work at Flexion:

We're looking for a Data Engineer with an unwavering passion for working in autonomous, self-directed teams to build complex systems using lean, agile mindsets. You will deliver incremental business value with each sprint and enable options at all scales. For this project, you and your team will build automated, enterprise-scale data tools working with other teams to effectively consume and use the data to improve the healthcare digital experience of millions of Americans.

Flexion is an agile software company that's been delivering excellence for over 24 years. Our company culture is built on trust, and transparency. We empower teams to remain autonomous and self-directed by hiring people who can solve complex problems by functioning collaboratively-this means lending a hand and flexing your multi-skilled muscles (business application software engineering, database engineering, DevOps, security engineering, information architecture, etc.) as needed. Every member within a cross-functional team is a leader who takes responsibility for the entire team's success, which mirrors the company's overall flat structure.

What the job looks like:

You'll be part of a multi-disciplinary, agile foundational components team tasked with improving devsecops and data governance practices for modernizing enterprise government systems in healthcare. We strive to automate all the things and build the highest quality systems with modern, cloud-native tools and emerging technologies. The project work is primarily remote but may require some client on-site work estimated at < 10%.

• Advance the state-of-the-practice for Data Engineering and Infrastructure as Code across Flexion and our clients.
• Learn and analyze new technologies and industry best practices to identify suitability for adoption by the team and our clients.
• Design, develop, document, and automate novel data tools in enterprise-scale healthcare data systems that support multiple teams.
• Collaborate with other teams to define supporting infrastructure and software tools needed to run and monitor software in a large-scale environment.
• Contribute to the design and architecture of software and infrastructure to ensure projects meet goals for security, scalability, maintainability, availability, and resiliency and should be able to clearly articulate and present the implications of design/architectural decisions, issues, and plans to leadership.
• Facilitate technical designs, architecture, and planning.
• Embrace and enhance agile engineering practices such as delivering small narrow slices of functionality, Test Driven Development, Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Swarm and pair with your team to design, code, test, debug, deploy and document software.
• Provide expert troubleshooting services and support product development and data teams as a diagnostic expert to understand and document incident root causes.
• Although you are a member of the foundational components team, you may work directly with other development teams as an "Embedded Liaison". In this case, some of your time will be spent with your other team as a Liaison, while the rest is spent working with the foundational components team to build tools and solutions.

Why we want to hire you:

You thrive working in a dynamic environment and think, design, and code with the knowledge that things will change. You can design small pieces as you go, while still thinking about how they fit into the whole. You welcome change as a positive thing and never look at anything you deliver as "final." You understand when "good enough" really is good enough, without ever compromising on the overall product quality. You want to work with team members who challenge you every day. You demonstrate an unwavering commitment to automated code coverage.

You have:

• 6+ years of experience.
• Experience with building an enterprise data warehouse, data mart, or data lake
• Strong collaborative and communication skills
• A passion for learning new technologies and the ability to do so quickly
• Ability to write tested high-quality code efficiently
• Demonstrated success in building design patterns and software engineering best practices
• Knowledge and experience with Hadoop/Spark, Jupyter, Airflow, and the AWS Big Data Platform
• Production Python programming experience
• Knowledge and experience designing systems for extremely high availability with 99.999% uptime
• A Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science or a related field or equivalent experience

At Flexion, we live by these principles:

• Speak openly and honestly with your colleagues and clients about problems and proposed solutions
• Welcome and handle changing requirements and priorities with little or no warning
• Collaborate online in small groups about 50% of the time
• Encourage simple and minimal solutions that keep options open
• Expect and vocally advocate for quality first
• Learn new practices and techniques as the situation demands
• Ensure the teams develop demonstrable software every week or two
• Do what needs to be done to deliver the product or project without ego or attitude
• Dig deep to find the root causes of problems so we can create the right solutions
• Relentlessly improve yourself, your team, and your processes
