The Senior Data Engineer - Databricks with CoverMyMeds will support and expand the data platforms that process, store, and organize data critical for the Data & Analytics team. We are hiring for two complementary roles within this scope:

• Ingestion-Focused Engineer – responsible for defining scalable ingestion patterns, establishing standards, and mentoring junior engineers as we expand data intake across domains

• Pipeline-Focused Engineer (Databricks) – responsible for designing and building robust data pipelines, leveraging Databricks and modern data engineering best practices

Both roles play a key part in shaping how data flows into and across our platform and will partner closely to deliver scalable, high-quality data solutions. A background in pharmacy claims data is a strong plus for either role.

These roles participate in technical strategy and execution to provide trusted, stable, reliable, responsive, and secure solutions, while proactively informing business partners on platform health and issue resolution. The Senior Data Engineer will work collaboratively with Data Systems Analysts as well as Analytics and Technology partners to solve business problems and deliver scalable solutions.
