• Architect Snowflake solutions that integrate with healthcare systems like Epic, Cerner, Salesforce Health Cloud, or payer claims systems.

• Translate complex data integration and compliance requirements (HIPAA, HITRUST) into secure and scalable solution designs.
• Collaborate with delivery teams to scope level of effort, timeline, and hand-off documentation.
• Maintain a deep understanding of Snowflake’s product roadmap and how it applies to healthcare use cases (e.g., PHM, value-based care analytics, patient 360).
• Author solution diagrams, technical briefs, and pre-sales assets tailored to the healthcare industry.
• Technical Architect on Snowflake-related projects for the Delivery Team.

• Strong communication and client-facing skills with the ability to simplify complex technical topics for business stakeholders.
• Prior experience in a healthcare-focused systems integrator.
• Knowledge of healthcare data standards (HL7, FHIR, X12) and EMR/claims systems.
• Snowflake certifications (e.g., SnowPro Core, SnowPro Advanced Architect).
• Experience with Salesforce Health Cloud, Tableau, or healthcare-specific BI platforms.
• Understanding of value-based care, population health, and payer-provider data use cases.
