Technical Specialist – Implementations (Data Integration)

Overview

As a Technical Specialist at Cotiviti, you will engage in tasks typically associated with Data Integration Specialists/Analysts and ETL Developers. Your focus will be on supporting the design and implementation of data transformation processes that are critical to achieving our strategic business objectives. While you will collaborate with stakeholders to understand business requirements, acceptance criteria, and non-functional requirements in alignment with the SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), your primary responsibility will be the hands-on execution of these requirements. This places you directly in the flow of transforming insights into action, ensuring that our data processes align with and support our overarching business objectives.

You'll be instrumental in ensuring the seamless integration and processing of large healthcare datasets, leveraging your technical skills to execute data mapping and transformation tasks. By utilizing tools such as Hadoop ecosystem tools (e.g., Hue for running Hive and Impala queries), you'll analyze and validate data, preparing it for impactful use across the organization. Your role is vital in tracking project progress, identifying issues, and supporting change and release management activities to implement functionality that meets or exceeds our expectations.

Ideal candidates for the Technical Specialist role are those who have a solid background in data management or related technical disciplines and the ability to quickly learn and apply new technologies. If you're keen on keeping up with the latest trends in data integration and have a proactive mindset towards developing and applying innovative data management strategies, you're the type of candidate we’re looking for. Professionals with experience in healthcare data are especially encouraged to apply. This role presents a distinctive opportunity for personal and professional growth within a nurturing environment, allowing you to hone your expertise and play a significant role in advancing Cotiviti's data management initiatives.
