- Design for Scale and Accuracy: Own the architecture and implementation of scalable data pipelines that power our operations, dashboards, and machine learning use cases.
- Technical Leadership: Help scale our data stack through use of best-in-class tools (currently we use DBT, Airflow, and Postgres).
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Engineering, Product, and Clinical Operations to define and prioritize data requirements for patient care and business operations.
- Champion Best Practices: Help us build a culture of data excellence by advocating for quality, testing, documentation, and continuous learning.
About You
- 3+ years of experience in data engineering roles, with at least 1 year working with healthcare data or medical system integrations.
- Hands-on experience with HL7, FHIR, or other healthcare data exchange standards.
- Fluency in modern data engineering tools and practices: DBT, Airflow, SQL, cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
- Strong communication skills and the ability to simplify complex data flows for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience working in high-growth or startup environments is a plus.
- A collaborative mindset and a drive to make healthcare work better for patients.
In particular, we offer:
- Flexible work hours and flexible paid time off
- Generous parental leave
- Comprehensive healthcare, vision and dental benefits
- Competitive salary and equity stake
We’re backed by forward-thinking investors committed to transforming healthcare, including Bessemer Venture Partners, First Round Capital, LRV Health, Khosla Ventures, Maverick Ventures, 1984.vc, and Character.
