Context

The NIHDI (or RIZIV [NL] or INAMI [FR]) is a key player for the health and social security in Belgium.

Our mission is to ensure that every insured person, irrespective of his personal situation, has access to the qualitative medical services that are effective and within the agreed tariffs.

Our mission is also to ensure that every working person has access to a replacement income in case of a disability to work, as well as realistic chances to get back to work after a period of disability.

The Data Office of NIHDI focuses on the management, governance and usage of data in order to help NIHDI to reach its objectives, to establish relevant policies and to take relevant decisions. The Data Office is the corner stone of all data related activities within NIHDI. We ensure an efficient, ethical and compliant collection, integration, sharing and usage of all data within NIHDI, as well as with other Belgian/European institutions and medical insurances.

At the Data Office, you will join one of the several multi-disciplinary agile teams consisting of data engineers, reporting experts, data functional analysts, project managers, data architects, data quality experts and AI specialists.

The Data Office relies on the following technologies: MS SQL Server, MS SSIS, MS SSAS, Enterprise Architect or similar, SAS, Azure, PowerBI, DataBricks, Azure Data Factory. The Data Office is owner of the central Data Warehouse (Kimball methodology) from which a large number of Data Marts and Reports are being fed.

Your Project

Several Belgian institutions (INAMI, IMA, the Belgian Health Insurances) are preparing a Common Data Platform in order to strengthen the quality of exchanged data. In order to constantly control the quality of the data that are being exchanged on the Common Data Platform, we are currently building a Data Validation Engine.

The development is in Python on DataBricks.

This engine is a shared component across multiple stakeholders (INAMI, IMA, Health Insurances), and its success relies on both a robust technical design and close collaboration between organizations.

Within the project team, as Senior Data Functional Analyst, your responsibilities will be:

• Act as the technical and architectural owner of the Data Validation Engine

• Collect and align the business requirements for the Data Validation Engine with the INAMI users as well as with the multiple stakeholders outside

• Design the Software Architecture of the Validation Engine.

• Translate the Software Architecture into technical specifications for the developers in the project team.

• After the project, act as Application Owner for the Validation Engine.

What we offer:

• An interesting job in the realization of SDO (ICT) and Data services that has an impact on society, with many advantages

• A good work-life balance: flexible working hours within the 40-hour week (7.30 a.m. to 8 p.m. with fixed slots between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.)

• Possibility of teleworking

• Workspaces organized according to activities

• Easy accessibility via public transport

• Car and bike parking in the building

• Individual locker

• Several opportunities for self-development: training and apprenticeship opportunities (to be taken outside working hours) via our e-academy self-learning platform or via the Microsoft Enterprise Skills Initiative platform.
