## Description (the employer's text)

### Vice President of Data Engineering

### Network Bio \| Full-Time \| Senior Leadership

### About the Role

Network Bio is seeking a VP of Data Engineering to lead the company's execution of hospital data acquisition and clinical data operations. This role owns the day-to-day and quarter-to-quarter work of getting Network Bio into hospital environments, securing compliant access to clinical data — including sensitive information like physician notes — and standing up the pipelines and processes that turn that access into usable data.

This is a hands-on operating leadership role. The VP of Data Engineering reports to the Chief Business Officer, translating company-level strategy into concrete hospital relationships, integration projects, and delivery timelines — running point on individual hospital relationships, managing the technical integration work, and ensuring every engagement is executed compliantly and securely.

This is an individual contributor role today, with the opportunity to build and lead a team as the function grows. The VP of Data Engineering will personally drive execution across every workstream — hospital relationships, infrastructure, contracting, coding, and data processing — while establishing the foundation for that team.

The ideal candidate has done this work before inside an EMR-adjacent or health-data organization and knows firsthand what it takes to earn a hospital's trust, get through their compliance and legal review, and stand up a durable data pipeline afterward.

### What You'll Own

### Hospital Relationship Execution

- Serve as Network Bio's primary point of contact for assigned hospital and health system partners — IT leadership, compliance/privacy officers, and operational stakeholders.
- Lead individual data access negotiations from first conversation through signed agreement and live data flow, in partnership with legal.
- Maintain and grow existing hospital relationships to expand data scope and depth (e.g., moving from structured data to physician notes and other unstructured clinical documentation).
- Act as the credible, trusted operator hospitals rely on to deliver on commitments made at the strategic level.
### Data Acquisition & Integration

- Run the end-to-end implementation of data connections to hospital and health system partners, using simple, secure, file-based data transfer methods.
- Determine and execute the right technical pathway for each partner — secure file transfer (e.g., encrypted file drop), on-site/honest-broker processing, de-identification pipelines — based on that institution's systems and constraints including governance and legal agreements.
- Manage integration project timelines, technical troubleshooting, and coordination between Network Bio's engineering team and hospital IT teams.
### Infrastructure

- Own infrastructure across both the Trusted Research Environment (TRE) and NewCo environments.
- Understand and manage cloud deployments, and apply sound information-security judgment when handling PHI in the TRE and NewCo environments (e.g., ensuring PHI never leaves the environment to a local device). Partner with a fractional security officer on day-to-day security practices.
- Write and maintain Terraform-based infrastructure-as-code (IaC) to provision and manage infrastructure.
### Compliance & Secure Data Handling

- Ensure every implementation meets HIPAA, HITECH, applicable state privacy law, and the specific data governance requirements of each partner hospital.
- Review contracts and statements of work (SOWs) directly, in partnership with legal, to make sure agreed terms are technically workable before implementation begins.
- Operationalize data use agreements and BAAs — ensuring technical implementation matches what was contractually agreed.
- Apply and enforce Network Bio's data handling standards (encryption, access controls, audit logging, minimum necessary, de-identification protocols) on every project.
- Flag and escalate compliance or security risk before it becomes a partner-facing or regulatory issue.
### Data Operations & Delivery

- Write the code and perform the data processing needed to ingest, normalize, and validate incoming clinical data from each hospital source.
