  • Responsibilities

    Accorded is looking for a Data Integrations Specialist who thrives at the intersection of data, product, and customer success. Your mission is to design data-ingestion specifications, guide customers through onboarding, and keep their data flowing through our existing pipelines (maintained by Engineering). You'll diagnose issues, document improvements, and ensure every delivery meets healthcare-grade standard

    Key Responsibilities

    Ingestion specification & design

    • Own the creation of file/API specs for new customers and data sources, mapping external fields to Accorded's canonical model.
    • Publish versioned spec documentation, sample files, and validation rules in collaboration with Product & Engineering.
    • Align all specs with HIPAA and internal security guidelines.

    Customer onboarding & support

    • Serve as the primary technical point-of-contact during onboarding.
    • Walk customers through specs, secure-transfer methods, and validation expectations.
    • Translate customer questions into clear tickets or knowledge-base content.

    Data validation & troubleshooting

    • Run SQL queries to confirm schema, row-level, and aggregate accuracy.
    • Investigate ingestion errors (schema drift, load failures) and resolve—or escalate when deeper fixes are required.
    • Document recurring patterns to drive systemic improvements.

    Pipeline execution & monitoring

    • Kick off and monitor scheduled dbt/ELT jobs; verify downstream tables and dashboards refresh successfully.
    • Maintain runbooks and standard operating procedures so teammates can easily reproduce your steps.

    Continuous improvement

    • Capture enhancement ideas for tooling, metadata, and alerting.
    • Work with Product & Engineering to refine data-quality rules, validation checks, and workflow automation.

    Required Qualifications

    • Healthcare data experience (claims, EHR, eligibility, etc.) with working knowledge of HIPAA/PHI requirements
    • 2+ years in data integrations, technical implementation consulting, or a similar customer-facing data role
    • Fluency in SQL for ad-hoc analysis and troubleshooting; comfort with at least one cloud warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, etc.)
    • Python (basic scripting) for file inspection, small data fixes, or API calls
    • Proven ability to create and maintain clear data specification documents (CSV/JSON/XML schemas, field dictionaries, validation rules)
    • Excellent communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences
    • Strong organizational skills—handle multiple customer timelines effectively while ensuring all commitments are met

    Preferred (Nice-to-Have) Qualifications

    • Hands-on familiarity with dbt or other ETL orchestration tools
    • Experience writing or maintaining data-quality tests (e.g., dbt tests, Great Expectations)
    • Exposure to actuarial, value-based care, or population-health analytics
    • Prior experience in a startup or rapid-growth environment
