Headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, LMI is committed to delivering impactful results that strengthen missions and drive lasting value.

LMI is seeking a skilled DatabricksData Engineer SME (DHARevOS/ Databricks, War Data Platform & Data Visualization) to serve as a senior technical lead responsible for designing, restructuring, and implementing the data foundation required for the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Revenue Cycle Operating System (RevOS).

This role will work directly within aDatabricks-based War Data Platform (WDP) environmentto assess existing DHA revenue-cycle data structures,identifyarchitectural and data-quality deficiencies, and redesign those structures into a scalable, governed, and reusable revenue-cycle data model.

The primaryobjectiveis toestablisha connected data architecturerepresentingthe actual healthcare revenue-cycle workflow:

Scheduling → Eligibility → Registration → Authorization → Patient Care → Documentation → Coding → Charge Capture → Claim → Adjudication → Payment → Denial → Follow-Up → Recovery

The Senior Data Engineer SME will ensure DHA's existing data is reorganized around this workflow so individual encounters, charges, codes, claims, payments, denials, and recovery activities can be connected and traced through the entire revenue lifecycle.

The individual will alsobe responsible forensuring the resulting Databricks data architecture directly supportsproduction dashboards, operational visualizations,RevOSSITREP views, KPI reporting, and drill-down analysis.

In addition, this candidate will have demonstrated experience in collaborating with other data engineers and data scientists, and effective communication with clients.

• Lead the technical design and implementation of theRevOSdata architecture withinDatabricks and the DHA War Data Platform.

• Assess and remediate DHA's existing revenue-cycle data structures, including fragmented schemas, duplicate entities, inconsistent definitions, missing relationships, weak keys, data-quality issues, reconciliation problems, and structures that do not align to the operational workflow.

• Develop a target-state canonical revenue-cycle data model connecting beneficiary/patient, encounter, appointment, eligibility, authorization, provider, MTF, documentation, diagnosis, procedure, coding, charge, claim, claim line, payer,adjudication, remittance, payment, adjustment, denial, AR, appeal, follow-up, and recovery opportunity.
