Data Engineer

Data Engineer

For our client in the pharmaceutical industry, we are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to develop well‑documented pipelines that transform clinical data into curated datasets based on standards such as CDISC SDTM. The role requires close collaboration with clinical experts, data scientists, and engineering teams to enhance and expand existing Databricks medallion architectures. The position also involves integrating Real‑World Data from various registries, using both rule‑based and automated mapping approaches, including OMOP interoperability.

Work mode: 100% remote

Tasks

• Design, build and maintain production ETL pipelines in Databricks/Delta Lake to ingest RWD (registries, claims, EHR extracts) and transform into standard models.

• Implement harmonisation workflows to map incoming RWD to OMOP and to the internal CDISC SDTM canonical model; handle vocabulary mapping, units normalization and provenance.

• Extend the medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold) patterns with robust validation, lineage, partitioning and performance tuning.

• Develop configurable, input‑driven transformation frameworks so clinical experts can drive mapping rules via config files and catalogs.

• Integrate AI/automation components (e.g., model‑assisted mapping, NLP for free text) with human‑in‑the‑loop review and confidence scoring.

• Establish testing, CI/CD, monitoring and alerting for ETL jobs and automations; ensure reproducibility, versioning and governance.

• Collaborate with clinical data scientists, data stewards and stakeholders to define requirements, data contracts and success metrics.

Requirements

• Proven experience designing and implementing ETL pipelines in Databricks/Spark and Delta Lake.

• Strong knowledge of OMOP CDM and experience mapping datasets to OMOP; familiarity with CDISC SDTM is a plus.

• Expertise in data modelling, partitioning, performance tuning, and best practices for large clinical/RWD datasets.

• Experience with vocabulary services and terminology mapping (OHDSI/Athena, UMLS, or similar).

• Experience integrating AI/NLP components into data pipelines (entity extraction, mapping suggestions) is desirable.

• Familiarity with testing frameworks for data (Great Expectations, Deequ), CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and orchestration tools (Databricks Jobs, Airflow).

• Good communication skills and experience working with domain experts to capture requirements.

• Fluent English 

Nice to have

• Prior experience in pharma or clinical research environments.

• Knowledge of data governance, privacy regulations and secure handling of patient data.

• Experience with Unity Catalog, Databricks Delta Sharing, and cloud infrastructure (Azure/AWS).
