Lead Data Engineer

Job description

Work Flexibility

Hybrid What you will do Design, build, and maintain automation solutions (primarily Power Automate ) to reduce manual effort in evidence workflows. Implement and maintain REST API integrations to connect systems (e.g., DistillerSR, SharePoint, Power BI) and enable seamless, scheduled data flow. Develop reusable, scalable data pipelines and processes (automated extract → store → refresh cycles). Operationalize agreed data structures; migrate and maintain structured evidence data into controlled, analytics-ready datasets.

Implement processes to monitor data quality, keeping data accurate, traceable, and available for stakeholders. Build and maintain Power BI dashboards from CDS-managed datasets to enable scalable reporting and evidence visibility. Enable self-service analytics so stakeholders can access insights without ad-hoc requests. Explore and implement AI-enabled solutions (e.g., agents that transform unstructured clinical report content into structured data).

Identify and eliminate manual, repetitive work; document and maintain solutions across updates. Help build repeatable ways of working — shared methods, templates, and clear documentation — so solutions are easy to maintain and reuse across teams and time zones. What you need
