Responsibilities
As a Principal Analyst, Data Integration, you will own the end-to-end process of evaluating, scoping, and onboarding new data sources into H1's platform. This is a senior IC role at the intersection of data, engineering, and product — the connective tissue between raw data acquisition and what ultimately ships to clients. You will work across Data & Research, Engineering, and Product to define what a new source is, how it maps to H1's schemas, what it can realistically deliver, and what it can't. You will also work directly with client-facing teams to gather requirements before integration decisions are made, translating commercial needs into data specs and data constraints back into product expectations.WHAT YOU'LL DO AT H1Lead structured evaluation of new data sources from scratch — assessing schema, coverage, freshness, legal constraints, and fit against H1's product needs before any engineering work beginsOwn field mapping from source to H1's bronze/silver/gold layers, producing data dictionaries, entity definitions, and structural guidance for downstream teamsPartner with engineering and Data Lake to define ingestion requirements, entity resolution rules, and refresh cadences for new sourcesGather requirements from client-facing teams and translate them into integration specifications; serve as the authoritative voice on what a new source can and cannot deliver before product commitments are madeShepherd each source end-to-end: scoping → QA → entity matching → product launch, including product QA and communicating source capabilities and limitations to product and enablement partnersWork with the Insights team to develop new taxonomies and QA mechanisms for novel data typesDefine acceptance criteria and lead QA validation including field-level fill rates, count comparisons, and cycle-over-cycle anomaly detectionInvestigate and resolve data quality issues post-integration, coordinating with DART and engineering as neededHand off to the maintaining team with complete mapping documentation; you own onboarding, not ongoing maintenanceProduce and maintain documentation other people actually use — across scoping assessments, field mapping specs, and post-mortemsABOUT YOUYou are a senior data professional who has personally owned the full lifecycle of a data integration — not just contributed to one. You are comfortable working across ambiguous, novel data structures and can ramp quickly on new source types each quarter. You operate with strong judgment about where integration risk lives, and you communicate clearly to both technical partners and client-facing stakeholders about what data can and cannot do.REQUIREMENTS 8–12+ years in data-focused roles at healthcare data companies, pharma/biotech data vendors, health IT firms, or equivalentDemonstrated end-to-end ownership of data integrations built from scratch — scoping, field mapping, QA, and handoff — with documentation to show for itHealthcare or life sciences domain context required; ability to ramp on new datasets and source types each quarter without needing deep subject matter expertise upfrontAnalytical fluency to assess data quality; hands-on experience with tools such as VBA, R, or SPSS; SQL a plus but not a primary requirementFamiliarity with data lake architectures (bronze/silver/gold or equivalent) and how raw data moves through normalization and entity resolution to a product-ready stateExperience gathering requirements from client-facing stakeholders and translating them into data or product specificationsExperience at a B2B data company where you understood how external clients consumed your data and where client retention drove decisionsAWS infrastructure familiarity (Athena, S3, Glue) at a query and inspection level preferredComfort working in Jira or Monday in a ticket-based workflowExceptional written communication — your documentation is legible, maintained, and actually usedCOMPENSATIONThis role pays $145,000 to $170,000 per year, based on experience, in addition to equity.Anticipated role close date: 08/25/2026H1 OFFERSFull suite of health insurance options, in addition to generous paid time offPre-planned company-wide wellness holidaysRetirement optionsHealth & charitable donation stipendsImpactful Business Resource GroupsFlexible work hours & the opportunity to work from anywhereThe opportunity to work with leading biotech and life sciences companies in an innovative industry with a mission to improve healthcare around the globeVisit h1.co to learn more about us.
