Cloud Solutions Engineer

About this role

The Cloud Solutions Engineer supports the design, build, and operation of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) national Diabetes Data Registry and its associated clinical decision support (CDS) initiative. The registry aggregates de-identified electronic health record (EHR) data from primary care centers nationwide, applies ADA Standards of Care, and delivers actionable guidance back to participating practices.
This role provides hands-on technical support across cloud infrastructure, healthcare data pipelines, security, and vendor-delivered solutions, working closely with ADA’s clinical, data governance, and procurement teams. ADA’s primary cloud platform is AWS, with Azure as an acceptable secondary platform; Google Cloud Platform is out of scope for this role. A solution-oriented mindset is essential: the ability to translate program goals and clinical requirements into practical, well-implemented technical outcomes.

• Build, test, and maintain automated data ingestion pipelines supporting recurring (at least monthly) EHR data feeds, including historical data loads at national scale.
• Support healthcare data interoperability using standards such as FHIR, HL7, and OMOP; assist with data normalization, validation, and quality checks.
• Support HIPAA-compliant data handling, including de-identification (Safe Harbor and Expert Determination) and tokenization/pseudonymization workflows.
• Help implement and maintain security controls, including identity and access management (IAM), encryption in transit and at rest, audit logging, and monitoring.
• Apply DevOps practices: infr...
