Why This Role Is Important to Arcadia 

Arcadia's data platform powers population health analytics for health plans, ACOs, and provider groups across the country. As a Lead Analytics Engineer — Data Modeling & Quality, you sit at the intersection of data quality ownership and analytical data modeling. You'll own the SQL and DBT layer that transforms raw clinical and claims data into trusted, production-grade datasets, while also serving as the quality authority for the data those models produce.

This is a hybrid role — deeper SQL and DBT expertise than a traditional Data Health Professional, with a more analytical and model-focused scope than a Data Engineering role. You're less focused on pipeline infrastructure and more on the logic, shape, and trustworthiness of the data itself.

What Success Looks Like

In 3 months

• Independently triage and resolve pipeline data quality issues
• Author at least one new DBT model or refactor an existing one to meet current modeling standards
• Understand the end-to-end pipeline from ingress through silver and gold, and be able to trace a data quality issue to its root layer

In 6 months

• Building strong working relationships with clients and cross-functional partners (Data Engineering, Customer Success)
• Deeply familiar with Arcadia's full data stack — from ingress through silver, gold, and downstream consumers
• Driving at least one improvement project forward, whether technical (e.g. model refactor, new DQ framework) or process-focused (e.g. promotion playbook, triage workflow)

In 12 months

• Recognized as a leader within the department — peers and stakeholders seek out your expertise on data modeling and quality
• Operating independently across the full scope of the role with minimal guidance
• Two or more improvement projects completed and in production, with measurable impact on data quality or operational efficiency

What You'll Be Doing

What You'll Bring

• Clear communicator — able to translate technical findings for clients and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong analytical judgment — you can look at a distribution and know when something is wrong
• Ability to manage several projects simultaneously, leveraging AI tooling to stay organized and efficient
• Genuine desire to learn and apply AI tools for operational efficiency

Would Love For You To Have

• Experience with Spark SQL and Hudi table format
• Familiarity with data quality monitoring tools
• Comfortable operating in an AI-first environment using Claude to build/verify various day-to-day workflows
• Exposure to population health analytics concepts: HEDIS measures, risk adjustment, value-based care metrics
• Python scripting for data investigation and automation
• Experience with Argo Workflows or similar orchestration platforms
• Healthcare data standards: ICD-10, CPT, NDC, LOINC, NPI
