Position Summary:

The Data Architect defines and governs the enterprise data architecture for a modern Azure-based platform integrating Avatar NX, Salesforce, and financial systems. This role establishes a scalable, consistent, and governed data ecosystem aligned with business and regulatory requirements. A critical responsibility is reverse engineering the Avatar NX EHR data model, due to limited vendor documentation, to enable accurate integration, reporting, and long-term data governance.

Schedule

  • 8am-5pm CST

Salary Range:

$109,300- $141,900 commensurate with experience

Location: Remote- Must be US based, and able to work with no restrictions in the US in a remote home office.

How Data Architects Empower Recovery:

Enterprise Data Architecture

  • Design end-to-end Azure data architecture (ingestion, staging, curated, reporting layers)
  • Define enterprise data domains (Clinical, RCM, CRM, Finance)
  • Establish canonical data models (e.g., Patient, Encounter, Claim, Revenue)
  • Reverse engineer and document the Avatar NX data model, including:
    • Table structures, relationships, and data flows
    • Enterprise ERDs and logical models
    • Mapping vendor-specific schemas to normalized structures
    • Interpreting and modeling data from a non-traditional database architecture (InterSystems Caché/IRIS), where the SQL layer represents an abstraction over a non-relational core, resulting in limited schema transparency, minimal documentation, and increased complexity in reverse engineering

Integration Strategy

  • Define integration patterns across:
    • Avatar NX (EHR and billing logic)
    • Salesforce (CRM and engagement)
    • Financial systems (GL and revenue recognition)
  • Standardize data contracts and exchange patterns (batch, API, event-driven)

Data Governance & Standards

  • Establish standards for naming, definitions, and data quality
  • Implement governance for billing rules and derived logic
  • Lead development of a data catalog, business glossary, and lineage framework
  • Ensure reverse-engineered models are documented and version-controlled
  • Ensure data models, pipelines, and architectural artifacts are managed using enterprise source control practices (e.g., Git) to support auditability and traceability

Rule & Revenue Transparency

  • Define architecture for rule outcome (inferred) tracking within Azure
  • Enable reconciliation between NX and downstream financial systems
  • Ensure billing logic is auditable, traceable, and explainable

Collaboration

  • Partner with Finance, RCM, Operations, IT, and Analytics leadership
  • Provide architectural guidance to Data Modelers, Developers, and DBAs

Education Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or a related technical field

Professional Qualifications:

  • 7+ years in data architecture, data modeling, or enterprise data engineering
  • Hands-on experience designing data platforms in Azure (ADF, Synapse, Data Lake, SQL)
  • Demonstrated experience integrating EHR, CRM, and financial systems
  • Proven experience working with EHR vendor databases (e.g., Netsmart Avatar NX, Epic, Cerner, or similar)
  • Hands-on experience reverse engineering undocumented or poorly documented schemas, including:
    • Identifying table relationships and key linkages
    • Reconstructing data models from source systems
    • Building ERDs from live databases rather than vendor documentation
  • Experience translating complex clinical and billing data structures into usable enterprise models
  • Ability to work with stakeholders to validate inferred logic (e.g., encounter flows, billing rules, documentation timing)
  • Strong expertise in relational and dimensional data modeling
  • Experience establishing canonical data models across domains (clinical, financial, operational)
  • Experience implementing data governance frameworks, lineage, and data quality controls
  • Advanced SQL Server expertise (querying, schema analysis, performance tuning)
  • Experience with large, complex, highly normalized transactional systems
  • Proficiency with source control and version management tools (e.g., Git), including branching strategies, pull requests, and versioning of data models, pipelines, and schema definitions

Preferred Experience

  • Experience in the Healthcare industry, data domains (clinical workflows, RCM, compliance)
  • Experience supporting finance and revenue cycle reporting (AR, billing, reconciliation)
  • Familiarity with Power BI, SSRS, or other reporting platforms
  • Experience working in environments with limited vendor transparency or documentation

Workplace Environment:

  • Requires long periods of sitting (95% sitting, 5% standing)
  • Extensive computer use

Competencies:

  • Technical Architecture
  • Data Governance & Quality
  • Business & Strategy Alignment
  • Leadership & Influence

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
