Freelance SQL & Python Data Specialist

WiredPeople, Inc. • Tallahassee, FL

5d • Hybrid

About The Position

WiredPeople is seeking a highly skilled freelance Data Specialist with deep expertise in SQL, Python, and relational database architecture. Familiarity with the WellSky platform (or similar healthcare case management systems) will support our efforts to leverage available data to make informed organizational decisions. This is not just a standard report-writing gig. We need a systems-thinker who can reverse-engineer and map the relationships within the WellSky database, build comprehensive Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs), and then leverage that map to build automated, scalable reports (such as linking clients to their respective caregivers) using SQL and Python. Because this is a hybrid role that requires collaboration with various teams, the ideal candidate must be local to the Tallahassee area and capable of attending in-person meetings.

Requirements

• Advanced SQL & Python (Required): 5+ years of experience writing complex SQL queries (CTEs, window functions, complex joins) and building Python data scripts (Pandas, SQLAlchemy, etc.).
• Cross-Functional Communication: Exceptional ability to translate non-technical business needs (e.g., "We need to see which caregivers are assigned to which clients in this county") into technical database requirements, and conversely, explain complex technical limitations to business leaders simply.
• Database Architecture: Proven experience reverse-engineering databases, schema mapping, and creating ERDs using tools like Lucidchart, Visio, or DbSchema.
• Compliance: Understanding of best practices for handling sensitive healthcare data and PII.

Nice To Haves

• Healthcare/Case Management Data (Highly Preferred): Prior experience working with EHR, EMR, or case management platforms. Specific experience with the WellSky platform is highly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Database Discovery & Mapping: Analyze the underlying schema of the WellSky platform. Identify primary/foreign keys and map the complex relationships between clients, caregivers, services, and demographic data.
• Architecture Documentation: Create clear, comprehensive Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) and a functional Data Dictionary for future internal use.
• Advanced Report Development: Translate business requirements into complex SQL queries to extract accurate datasets.
• Technical Translation & Handoff: Develop clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and runbooks. Conduct in-person and virtual handoff training sessions with staff, ensuring you can clearly and effectively relay technical information and database concepts to team members who are not well-versed in code or tech.
