• Design of mapping templates and crosswalks for high complexity implementations, including custom fields and site specific logic.
• Normalize values using established rules including date/time logic, MV/SV handling, and categorical value alignment.
• Maintain lookup files with strict adherence to formatting requirements (strings, zeros, codes, timestamps).

ETL Execution & Processing

• Run internal ETL scripts and tools to process client datasets.

• Strong proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language commonly used for ETL (e.g., Python, R, or similar), and solid SQL skills.
• Experience working with structured datasets: CSV, Excel, JSON, XML.
• Hands-on experience with schema design, data modeling concepts, and data validation frameworks.
• Strong attention to detail when working with detailed transformation rules and data-mapping logic with clinical or coded data.
• Comfort with repetitive data cleaning, normalization, and validation tasks.
