Senior System Engineer IRC302362

Description
The Digital Health organization is technology team which focused on next generation Digital Health capabilities which deliver on the Medicine mission and vision to deliver Insight Driven Care. This role will operate within the Digital Health Applications & Interoperability subgroup of the broader Digital Health team, focused on patient engagement, care coordination, AI, healthcare analytics & interoperability amongst other advanced technologies which enhance our product portfolio with new services, while improving clinical & patient experiences.
The project is a cloud-based PaaS Ecosystem built with a privacy by design centric approach to provide a centralized cloud-based platform to store, classify, and control access to federated datasets in a scalable, secure, and efficient manner.
The ecosystem will allow Customer Operating Units (medical device departments) to store federated data sets of varying sizes and formats and control access to those data sets through Data steward(s). Source data sets can be exposed to qualified use cases and workflows through different project types.
The Healthcare Data Platform ecosystem will provide ML/AI project capabilities for streamlined development processes and a ML/AI workbench to enhance data exploration, wrangling, and model training.
OU’s: Currently, Nuero, Cardio, Diabetes is the OU that HDP data platform is working with, but there could be more OU’s coming up with requirements in future.
GL Role: is to work on the enhancement of current capabilities, including taking over the work that AWS proserve team is doing, and develop new requirements that will keep coming from different OU’s in the future.

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments.

Job responsibilities

• Work with engineering and cross-functional stakeholders to gather, analyze, clarify, and document business, functional, and non-functional requirements, translating them into clear system and technical requirements.
• Define system requirements, interfaces, data flows, integration requirements, acceptance criteria, and technical constraints for cloud-based software components, data platforms, and integrations.
• Maintain requirements throughout the development lifecycle, ensuring traceability between business needs, system requirements, technical design, implementation, and validation.
• Identify gaps, dependencies, assumptions, and potential technical risks in requirements and work with stakeholders to resolve them before and during implementation.
• Design and contribute to scalable AWS-based architectures supporting data ingestion, processing, transformation, storage, and distribution.
• Analyze data and system behavior to support architecture, implementation, performance, and product decisions.
• Collaborate with Data Engineering, Software Engineering, Cloud Engineering, DevOps, and Architecture teams to design and integrate end-to-end cloud solutions.
• Support operational monitoring, logging, alerting, and troubleshooting of cloud applications and data processing workflows.
• Contribute to system architecture and technical design discussions, including scalability, reliability, security, performance, and cost considerations.
• Participate in technical and requirements reviews to ensure solutions meet defined requirements, engineering standards, cloud best practices, and established software development processes.
• Support continuous improvement of cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, deployment processes, requirements management, and engineering practices throughout the software development lifecycle.
