Required Qualifications
-
5+ years of data engineering experience building and owning production ETL/ELT pipelines

-
Working experience with Snowflake
-
Experience working with healthcare data in production

Understanding of healthcare data regulation (HIPAA in the US) and how it shapes engineering: PHI handling, minimum-necessary access, de-identification, encryption and audit logging
-
Strong communication skills in English: explains technical decisions to US client stakeholders and documents work clearly

Nice to Have

-
Experience as the first or founding engineer on a new team

About this role
Source Meridian is hiring a Senior Data Engineer to be the founding member of a new data engineering team at a specialty pharmacy data platform client. You'll own the technical foundation from day one—establishing coding standards, pipeline architecture, and best practices that junior and intermediate engineers will follow as the team grows. This is a leadership-through-example role where your decisions on how to build and maintain ETL systems will shape the team's culture and capabilities.
The core work involves designing and building AWS-based ETL pipelines using Glue, Python, and SQL to ingest pharmacy and healthcare partner data, transform it reliably, and deliver it to customers via Snowflake. You'll customize pipelines for each new customer, handle protected health information securely (HIPAA compliance, encryption, access controls, audit trails), and translate business requirements into working systems. Mentoring will be a significant part of your contribution as you onboard and guide the engineers who join after you.
You'll need at least five years of production ETL experience, strong SQL and Python skills, and hands-on expertise with AWS Glue and the surrounding data stack. Healthcare data experience and HIPAA knowledge are essential, as is proven ability to communicate clearly with US stakeholders and document technical decisions. The role is based in Medellín and requires in-office work. Source Meridian offers a permanent contract, competitive salary, and a benefits package centered on health and wellbeing.
