About the Role

We’re building the next generation of data infrastructure to support administrative healthcare services (RCM, EHR, ambient scribing, and more). Our systems process large-scale patient-related data and require secure, performant, and compliant handling of sensitive healthcare information. We’re looking for a Data Engineer who can design, optimize, and extend our data pipelines and platforms, enabling analytics, observability, and secure development workflows.

What You'll Do

Data Pipeline Development

• Design, implement, and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines for large-scale PostgreSQL datasets (11TB+ production, 5TB staging)

• Build scalable ingestion workflows into ClickHouse Cloud using Iceberg tables on AWS S3 and AWS Glue

• Develop processes for anonymizing and preparing healthcare data in staging environments to support development and research without exposing PHI

• Implement robust validation and reconciliation checks to ensure data quality and HIPAA-compliant handling

Data Modeling & Warehousing

• Develop and maintain schemas to support both OLTP (PostgreSQL) and OLAP (ClickHouse/Iceberg) workloads

• Optimize query performance for analytics while minimizing load on production databases

• Extend our data warehouse to enable ad-hoc analysis, BI tool integrations, and healthcare-specific reporting use cases

Data Observability & Performance

• Build tools and dashboards to monitor schema changes, query performance, and pipeline health across PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, and Glue/S3

• Implement alerting, logging, and performance tuning strategies for production and staging environments

• Collaborate with engineers and analysts to proactively identify bottlenecks and scalability improvements

Data Integrations & APIs

• Integrate structured healthcare data flows between EHR systems, RCM platforms, and internal services

• Build APIs or connectors to surface analytical and operational data securely to downstream consumers

• Ensure interoperability across GCP (SQL) and AWS (ClickHouse, Glue, S3) platforms

Infrastructure & Governance

• Manage and evolve our hybrid-cloud data infrastructure (GCP SQL + AWS Glue/ClickHouse)

• Enforce access management, encryption, and anonymization controls aligned with HIPAA and healthcare compliance standards

• Partner with security and compliance teams to implement best practices in sensitive data handling

Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

• Work closely with analysts, scribe technology developers, and product engineers to capture data requirements

• Document schemas, pipelines, and workflows to ensure maintainability and cross-team understanding

• Mentor team members and advocate for data engineering best practices across the company

What You Have

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience

• Proven experience in data engineering at scale (multi-TB datasets, OLTP + OLAP systems)

• Strong SQL expertise with PostgreSQL and experience tuning queries for high-volume transactional databases

• Hands-on experience with Python, Java, and SQL for data processing and pipeline orchestration

• Familiarity with ClickHouse or other analytical databases, and data lake formats (Iceberg, Parquet, ORC)

• Experience with AWS Glue (ETL, catalog) and S3-based data lakes

• Understanding of cloud-native services in both Google Cloud (Cloud SQL) and AWS

• Knowledge of data anonymization and governance techniques for sensitive healthcare data (HIPAA familiarity a plus)

• Experience with monitoring/observability tools for data infrastructure (e.g., Grafana, dbt metrics, or custom solutions)

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills; ability to balance technical rigor with business needs

• Effective communicator and collaborator across engineering, analytics, and product teams
