**Why This Role Is Important to Arcadia **
Arcadiaβs data platform powers population health analytics for health plans, ACOs, and provider groups across the country. As a Lead Analytics Engineer β Data Modeling & Quality, you sit at the intersection of data quality ownership and analytical data modeling. Youβll own the SQL and DBT layer that transforms raw clinical and claims data into trusted, production-grade datasets, while also serving as the quality authority for the data those models produce.
This is a hybrid role β deeper SQL and DBT expertise than a traditional Data Health Professional, with a more analytical and model-focused scope than a Data Engineering role. Youβre less focused on pipeline infrastructure and more on the logic, shape, and trustworthiness of the data itself.
