Both roles play a key part in shaping how data flows into and across our platform and will partner closely to deliver scalable, high-quality data solutions. A background in pharmacy claims data is a strong plus for either role.

These roles participate in technical strategy and execution to provide trusted, stable, reliable, responsive, and secure solutions, while proactively informing business partners on platform health and issue resolution.
