We're looking for a Software Engineer Lead to help lead the technical direction of our data platform. This is a hybrid, hands-on role requiring architectural thinking and experience — you'll design and help implement scalable data solutions in Microsoft Fabric, guide our Power BI development standards, help shape our emerging AI/analytics roadmap, and partner closely with DBA, DevOps, and application teams as we mature our architecture.

What You’ll Be Doing

Set the technical direction and roadmap for our Microsoft Fabric platform, including layered (medallion) architecture, pipelines, and retiring legacy data marts

Design how data flows from our applications into a governed warehouse, across many customers and multiple environments

Act as the primary designer of our Power BI dashboards: data models, DAX measures, visual design, performance tuning, and governance (workspace structure, row level security, deployment pipelines)

Lead our AI and automation efforts: spot manual work worth eliminating, prototype quickly, and bring new ideas to the team

Shape our AI roadmap by designing data architecture (semantic layers, medallion structure) that supports the AI capabilities we want to build next

Help design new, marketable data products and a lighter way of delivering reports that reduces ongoing maintenance

Partner with DBA, DevOps, and application teams to design scalable, production-ready data solutions

Bring a working understanding of SQL Server performance monitoring: how to interpret database logs, identify performance issues, and support high-availability, 24/7 production environments

Design and maintain observability practices across the data platform, including semantic models, pipelines, warehouses, and SQL endpoints

Evaluate and recommend tools, patterns, and standards as we mature from report development toward a broader data + AI platform strategy

What We’re Looking For

Senior experience architecting cloud data platforms, preferably on Microsoft Fabric, or on a comparable platform such as Databricks and Synapse

A prototyping mindset and out-of-the-box thinking: you test ideas fast, learn from what fails, and have turned an idea into something people used

Practical curiosity about AI: you have prototyped something with LLMs, retrieval, or automation and can tell us what worked and what did not

Experience designing data architectures (semantic layers, medallion structure) that are AI-ready; familiarity with Azure AI Foundry a plus

Strong SQL skills and experience with data pipeline design/optimization, with working knowledge of SQL Server performance monitoring concepts

Experience with medallion architecture and cloud data warehousing patterns

Hands-on experience with Fabric Data pipelines or similar pipeline/orchestration tools

Experience ingesting from relational sources, including change capture patterns

Experience with API-based data integration

Solid understanding of the broader Azure ecosystem and its data-related services: App Services, VMs, Blob Storage, Log Analytics, networking basics

Python, Fabric notebooks/Spark, or exposure to MLflow/model registry concepts, and familiarity with Fabric's AI-adjacent capabilities

General exposure to or interest in AI-adjacent data patterns, e.g., natural-language-to-data querying or general familiarity with how AI grounding over data works conceptually

Working knowledge of PowerShell and/or Azure DevOps (ADO) dashboards/pipelines

What Will Make You Stand Out

Familiarity with Power BI Embedded or similar embedding frameworks
Hands-on experience with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, or emerging analytics patterns (real-time/streaming, natural-language-to-data querying)
Familiarity with RAG, vector/embeddings concepts, AI agents, or responsible AI/governance principles
Experience with statistical analysis, forecasting, or health-related analytics, especially in partnership with data scientists or product teams

About the company

InductiveHealth Informatics provides data infrastructure, surveillance, and intervention services for public health agencies, focusing on disease and syndromic surveillance and managing jurisdictional surveillance systems using platforms like NBS and ESSENCE.

It differentiates itself by handling more jurisdictional surveillance systems than any other firm and by deep integration with established surveillance platforms to deliver end-to-end technology and services to federal, state, tribal, local, and territorial agencies. Its goal is to help government health entities monitor and respond to public health threats with accurate, timely, and actionable disease data through scalable surveillance systems.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

Maine DHHS extended NEDSS hosting through October 2026, preserving core recurring work.
InductiveHealth now serves more than 40 public health departments and agencies nationwide.
Diversis Capital’s 2026 recapitalization supplies acquisition capital for further public-health consolidation.

What critics are saying

Washington DOH’s 2026 ESSENCE deal was only $80,000, signaling brutal pricing pressure.
NEDSS hosting remains concentrated in aging state systems, tying revenue to procurement renewals.
If JHU/APL changes ESSENCE licensing, InductiveHealth’s syndromic surveillance moat collapses fast.

What makes InductiveHealth unique

InductiveHealth controls ESSENCE support through JHU/APL exclusivity, anchoring switching costs in 2026.
The January 2026 SSDataInfo acquisition deepens NEDSS expertise and expands department-level support.
The March 2025 Origami Risk partnership modernizes EDSS with commercial SaaS architecture.
