About the Department
The Statistical Center for HIV/AIDS Research & Prevention (SCHARP) is
part of the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Institute (VIDI) at Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. SCHARP provides statistical
collaboration to HIV/AIDS researchers around the world and conducts a
complementary program of statistical methodology and mathematical

clinical trials and epidemiological studies dedicated to the elimination
of HIV/AIDS as a threat to human health.

Job Summary
The data engineer is a key member of the team that supports the
relational databases at SCHARP. Recently, SCHARP has identified the need
for a data warehouse/repository to allow analysts and faculty platform-
and tool-agnostic access to a wide variety of study data. In addition to
the study data, associated study metadata needs to be collected,
extracted and inserted into easily searchable relations.

The data engineer is responsible for developing, implementing and tuning
data models based on SCHARP's study data, study metadata and associated
business data. In addition to modeling the data, the data engineer is
responsible for ETL (extract-transform-load) procedures, working with
SCHARP personnel to locate source data, defining the level of quality
assurance and security for the data, and setting up programs and
processes to ensure the timely and accurate update of this data. S/he is
also responsible for developing strategies for data synchronization,
integrity and standardization.

The data engineer is also available to work with analysts and faculty to
generate pre-determined queries. S/he will serve as a resource to
explain the relationship between the tables and schemas in the data
warehouse.

As a member of the Data Systems team, the person in this position would
serve as a backup database administrator.
