The Lead Data Engineer is responsible for leading the modernization, optimization, and stabilization of the Wisconsin Medicaid Market's data platform ecosystem across two independent health plan technology stacks.

The Lead Data Engineer partners closely with the Market BI team as their IT counterpart to improve data access and flow, including establishing and managing Databricks pipeline patterns and platform enablement as the BI environment evolves.

The Lead Data Engineer owns and evolves the Wisconsin Medicaid Market's data stores and data movement ecosystem, including the Data Warehouse and ODS, and the ETL processes that connect vendor and internal systems.
