About Nest Veterinary

Nest is building the care plan platform for modern veterinary hospitals. Our technology helps practices design, deliver, and measure wellness programs that make preventative care easy to follow and sustainable to provide. For pet parents, that means predictable costs and better outcomes. For hospitals, it means stronger client relationships, steadier revenue, and more pets staying healthy under their care.

We’re a mission-driven team working at the intersection of design, technology, and medicine, and we’re just getting started. If you’ve ever wanted your work to both advance technology and improve the lives of millions of pets, Nest is the place to do it.

The Role

We’re seeking a Data Engineer to design and scale the systems that power our integrations and analytics platform. As our first dedicated data hire, you’ll own the pipelines that connect practice management systems (PIMS), third-party APIs, and internal applications, making veterinary and financial data accessible, reliable, and actionable.

This is a chance to lay the foundation for our data infrastructure and build the analytics backbone that empowers veterinarians, pet parents, and our internal teams alike.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain ETL pipelines to integrate veterinary PIMS data with our systems

• Develop integrations with third-party APIs to expand product capabilities

• Design data models and real-time pipelines that power analytics and reporting

• Partner with our Director of Finance to enable self-service analytics through Sigma Computing

• Write clean, maintainable, well-documented code supported by tests

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Product, Finance) to deliver end-to-end solutions

• Proactively identify and resolve technical challenges in a fast-moving environment

• Bring an ownership mentality: improve processes, troubleshoot production issues, and propose new solutions

What We’re Looking For

You might be a great fit if:

• You bring 3–5+ years of professional data engineering experience

• You’re fluent in Python (Polars, Pandas, dbt) and SQL

• You’ve built and maintained real-time data pipelines

• You’re comfortable working independently and can explain complex ideas clearly

• You thrive in startup environments where you can take ownership and move fast

Bonus points if:

• You’ve worked with Google Cloud Platform (Dataflow, Spanner, BigQuery)

• You’ve built or maintained analytics pipelines at scale

• You’ve integrated with practice management systems (PIMS) or other healthcare software

• You know Java, Sigma, or other modern BI platforms

• You’re curious about veterinary workflows and how data can transform them

Why Join Nest?

• Mission-Driven Impact: Build technology that improves pet health and strengthens the human-animal bond

• Foundational Role: Be our first data hire and define our analytics infrastructure

• Growth & Development: Opportunities to expand your scope as Nest scales

• Modern Stack: Work with GCP, BigQuery, Sigma, and other best-in-class tools

• Remote Flexibility: Fully remote team with flexible work options
