Could you clarify the nature of the position?

The top level description describes “ETL from Epic EHR”, automation, and data modeling and visualization which to me sounds more like a data scientist and data engineer role.

However, the skills listed center more around web and mobile front-end (Swift, HTML5, jQuery, reactive paradigms).

Is this delta intentional because this is a full stack role or will the responsibilities be more focused in one of these two areas?

@Ashlin_Harris : Thank you! We do quite a bit of Julia in our team. It’s engaging work if you enjoy working with medical researchers and… wrangling complex medical data sets.

@mrufsvold : I’m sorry for the confusion. Please refer to the opening paragraph to understand what the job involves. We are working with HR to update the post so that it is responsive to our needs, but this may take some time. If you do decide to apply, please let me know.
