About the role:

Boston Scientific was recognized by Forbes as one of the Best Workplaces for Engineers in 2026, reflecting a culture where engineers do meaningful work. The Azure Principal Data Engineer is a senior, hands-on technical leader responsible for designing, building and evolving scalable, reusable Azure data platform capabilities. In this role, you will transform governed data into trusted, production-ready data products that enable clinical insights, commercial analytics and AI-driven innovation.
