At Lilly, the work is demanding because patients are waiting. We unite caring with discovery to help make life better for people around the world, knowing that every decision, every detail, and every day matters. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, our over 50,000 employees around the globe take on complex challenges to discover and deliver life-changing medicines, strengthen how health is understood and managed, and support the communities we serve. This is hard, urgent, selfless work—but it’s work worth doing. If you’re driven by purpose and ready to bring your best to work that truly matters for patients, we invite you to join us.
We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. As Technical Lead for the LillyDirect Pharmacy Covered Entity Master Data team, you will own the technical direction and delivery of the data platform that creates trusted, consented customer and partner profiles. You will set engineering standards, guide a team of data engineers, and be the go-to expert on how Reltio (profile master data) and Transcend (consent management) work with our AWS and Databricks data platform. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. Your work ensures the right data, used with the right consent, reaches patients and the business, supporting Lilly's mission to deliver life-changing medicines.
What you’ll be doing:
Master data and consent
- Define and own the technical architecture for profile master data, including Reltio integration, match and merge logic, survivorship rules, and golden record delivery to downstream consumers.
- Design how consent and preference data from Transcend flows through the platform, so consent status is enforced consistently in pipelines, profiles, and downstream use.
- Design how data subject requests (for example access and deletion) are carried out across profile data and downstream systems, so requests are honored consistently and can be evidenced.
- Partner with Privacy, Legal, Quality, and business teams to translate consent and regulatory requirements (for example HIPAA and applicable privacy laws) into technical controls.
- Define technical controls for protecting sensitive data (PII/PHI), including access control, masking, encryption, and retention, in line with Lilly standards.
- Build data quality, lineage, and reconciliation checks that prove profile and consent data is accurate, complete, and auditable.
Data engineering delivery
- Lead design and delivery of batch and near-real-time pipelines in Python and PySpark on Databricks and AWS.
- Design Delta Lake and lakehouse (medallion) structures with sound partitioning, schema evolution, and Unity Catalog governance.
- Build observable pipelines with error handling, retries, alerting, and clear SLAs.
- Set standards for CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code for data workloads, working with the DevOps engineer, so environments are repeatable and reviewed.
- Tune SQL, Spark jobs, and data models for performance and cost.
- Own production support for data pipelines, including escalation, incident response, and root cause analysis, in partnership with the DevOps engineer.
Technical leadership
- Set coding standards, code review practices, and documentation (architecture decision records, runbooks, data contracts).
- Mentor engineers through design reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sessions.
- Partner with product owners, architects, and vendor teams to turn business needs into a clear technical roadmap, and influence vendor resources so delivery matches our data and technical direction.
- Represent the team in architecture reviews, security reviews, and platform governance forums.
How You Will Succeed:
- You turn business and privacy needs into technical outcomes that stakeholders understand and trust.
- You set standards that others adopt, and you mentor engineers to raise the team’s technical bar.
- You treat consent as a design principle, not an afterthought, and you catch risks before they reach production.
- You improve systems continuously through automation, performance tuning, and proactive issue resolution.
- You communicate with clarity to technical and non-technical audiences.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
- 8+ years of professional experience in data engineering or software engineering, including 3+ years as a tech lead, principal engineer, or senior individual contributor.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience with Reltio (or a comparable MDM platform) for profile or customer master data, including match rules, survivorship, and integration patterns.
Additional Skills & Preferences:
- Working understanding of consent and preference management (for example opt-in and opt-out, purpose, and channel), and how consent must be enforced in data pipelines and downstream use.
- Hands-on experience with Transcend (or a similar consent platform) for consent, preference, or data subject request workflows.
- Expert-level Python and PySpark, with production-grade code, automated testing, and performance tuning, and advanced SQL, including window functions, CTEs, and query optimization.
- Strong hands-on experience building data pipelines on AWS (for example S3, Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, Athena or Redshift, IAM) and Databricks, including Delta Lake.
- Experience with data modeling (dimensional and lakehouse medallion patterns) and data governance, security, and quality practices, including protection of sensitive data (PII/PHI).
- Experience with CI/CD, Git, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation).
- Ability to lead technical design, mentor engineers, and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Pharmaceutical, healthcare, or pharmacy industry experience, and experience in regulated environments with privacy and compliance requirements.
- Experience partnering with and influencing vendor resources on solution development and delivery.
- Experience with orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow or Databricks Workflows.
- Familiarity with data quality frameworks (for example Great Expectations or dbt tests) and with streaming platforms (Kafka, Kinesis, or MSK).
- Familiarity with data catalog and governance tools such as Unity Catalog or AWS Lake Formation.
- AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate, AWS Solutions Architect, or Databricks Certified Data Engineer (Associate or Professional).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Technical Lead Jobs
Verify your role meets specialty occupation
Pull the O*NET profile for Technical Lead or Software Development Manager and confirm the listed education requirement is a specific bachelor's degree field. Job postings that say 'degree preferred' instead of 'required' can create problems at the consulate.
Check your employer's LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers who have filed H-1B1 visa Labor Condition Applications for technical or engineering roles. Active LCA history signals the hiring team already understands the sponsorship process and won't stall at the offer stage.
Request the LCA wage level in writing
Before accepting an offer, ask which DOL prevailing wage level your employer intends to certify. Technical Lead roles span Levels II through IV depending on supervisory scope. A Level I certification for a lead role can draw consular scrutiny.
Prepare your credential evaluation early
Singapore's three-year bachelor's degrees sometimes require a credential evaluation letter confirming U.S. equivalency. Commission this from a NACES-approved evaluator before your employer starts the LCA, not after the offer letter arrives.
Target companies already enrolled in E-Verify
E-Verify enrollment isn't required for H-1B1 visa sponsorship, but employers already enrolled have completed identity-verification compliance and are far more familiar with work-authorization processes for foreign nationals in technical roles.
Time your interview around LCA certification
The DOL must certify the LCA before your consular interview. Standard LCA certification takes seven business days, but plan for delays. Scheduling your U.S. Embassy appointment before the certified LCA is in hand will result in a 221(g) administrative hold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Technical Lead role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, provided the job requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field such as computer science, software engineering, or electrical engineering. The key distinction is that the degree requirement must be tied directly to the role. A Technical Lead position that accepts any bachelor's degree regardless of field may not satisfy the specialty occupation standard at the consulate.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa compare to the H-1B for Technical Lead hiring?
For Singaporean nationals, the H-1B1 visa has two major structural advantages over the H-1B visa: no lottery and no USCIS petition. Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with the DOL and you apply directly at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore. The annual cap is 5,400 slots and has never filled, so timing isn't driven by a random selection event the way H-1B is.
How do I find employers who have sponsored H-1B1 Singapore visas for Technical Lead roles?
Migrate Mate shows verified DOL Labor Condition Application filing history filtered by visa type and occupation, so you can identify which employers have actively sponsored H-1B1 visa roles in software engineering and technical leadership. This is more reliable than inferring sponsorship willingness from a job posting alone, since many employers sponsor without advertising it.
What documents does my employer need to prepare before my consular interview?
Your employer must obtain a certified Labor Condition Application from the DOL before your interview at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore. You'll also need a support letter from the employer confirming your role, salary, and start date, along with the certified LCA itself. Bring your academic credentials and any professional certifications relevant to the Technical Lead scope.
Can I switch employers after entering the U.S. on an H-1B1 Singapore visa?
Yes, but the H-1B1 doesn't allow portability the way an approved H-1B petition does. Your new employer must file and receive a certified LCA and you must obtain a new H-1B1 visa stamp before starting work for them. You can't begin employment under a new sponsor simply because they've filed paperwork, so plan your transition timeline carefully.
