  • Minimum 4 years of relevant experience in statistical programming, data engineering, or software development in a life sciences or research setting.

  • Proficiency in SAS and/or R, with additional experience in SQL and Python.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Data Science, or related field.

  • Experience in structured software development lifecycle (SDLC) projects.

  • Hands-on experience with real-world healthcare data (RWD) sources such as:

    • Healthcare claims (MarketScan, Optum Clinformatics, Medicare)

    • Electronic Health Records (EHR) databases (OptumEHR PanTher, Flatiron, CPRD, MDV)

  • Familiarity with data model frameworks (e.g., CDISC).

  • Proficiency in version control systems (Git) and collaborative coding practices.
