Position Summary

We're looking for an experienced, solution-focused Senior Data Engineer to take the lead on improving the reusability, scalability and efficiency of our data engineering processes and infrastructure. If you enjoy designing and building scalable, efficient data solutions while collaborating with and mentoring other great engineers, please read on

This position will be responsible for bringing valuable insight to our most difficult data ingestion, ETL/ELT and access challenges. You will work within our organization to understand stakeholder needs and deliver solutions that are scalable, efficient and robust. This candidate will also play a key role in designing, improving and expanding our current data pipelines, data testing, and data quality controls while minimizing disruption to current operations.

Why is this a great opportunity for a data engineer?

  • The problem domain and our approach to solving it is super compelling. We're bringing together data sources that have never been joined, building models of a GI patient that have never been built, and discovering new GI health insights that help real people to manage and support their real medical conditions.
  • It's still early enough that there's a lot of decisions and new discoveries to be made, so this is your chance to get in early and help shape our future.

Other things about our environment you should be aware of:

  • We're still a small company, which means that everyone still wears a lot of hats and we need engineers who are comfortable with ambiguity and working across a wide variety of challenges. That said, our existing engineering team has built an extremely efficient working environment based on best-in-class hosted SaaS frameworks that greatly minimize the overhead in deploying and supporting software in production.
  • We're all really passionate about improving clinical outcomes for our members and truly advancing the GI health space. Most of us also have personal (direct/family/friend) connections to GI health problems. Whatever it is that fuels you, we're on a mission to build something much larger than ourselves here and looking for another partner in driving that mission forward.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Architect and automate the deployment of ETL/ELT pipelines, working closely with Software and DevOps teammates to provide a robust solution for serving internal customer data requests and external partner reporting
  • Design and optimize our data warehouse schemas used for clinical and research analytics
  • Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, integration, and deployment
  • Ensure data quality, integrity, and availability for analytical purposes
  • Interface with, and design, cloud-native solutions including serverless architecture, containers, and microservices on Google Cloud
  • Document code and technical designs for reference and knowledge sharing
  • Prepare system documentation for end-users and technical stakeholders
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define/refine data requirements, integrate systems, and assist with development and implementation of data governance and security policies
  • Mentor junior data engineers and oversee the team's development efforts, promoting best practices in coding, architecture, and data management
  • Keep learning

You'll be a good fit here if you are:

  • Passionate about developing the kind of software and pipelines that you'd want to inherit from another developer (documentation, test coverage, logging, metrics, etc.)
  • A team player. You like collaborating closely with other engineers, often through leading projects, mentorship, brainstorming and code reviews
  • Empathetic to our members' GI health conditions and are driven to improve their outcomes
  • Security oriented. We take the stewardship of our customer's healthcare data seriously, and take no shortcuts to protect it
  • Comfortable with a distributed workforce. We interact with each other via video chat, Slack and PR comments
  • A self motivated, creative problem solver
  • At least partially obsessed with automating everything

Desired Qualifications

  • 5+ years of demonstrated experience designing and implementing automated data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, databases, and workflow engines
  • Fluency using Google Cloud Platform (GCP) frameworks, including, BigQuery, Vertex AI Platform, IAM (fundamentals), Pub/Sub, Dataflow, Cloud Composer/Airflow, DLP, or any others
  • Experience with DBT, or similar data transformation frameworks
  • Expert proficiency in SQL & Python and software engineering principles
  • Demonstrated prior experience improving the architecture, design and efficiency of data warehouse pipelines
  • Demonstrated experience analyzing and optimizing system performance
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal abilities with colleagues, business partners, and vendors alike
  • Bonus:
    • Experience with Terraform and/or other infrastructure-as-code frameworks
    • Experience with medical, healthcare and/or population health data
    • Experience working in a HIPAA regulated environment (or other regulated industry) and supporting data security and privacy controls
    • Advanced degree in Computer Science or a related field

Cylinder Health is an equal opportunity employer.
We believe safe spaces where everyone can be their authentic selves is the key to a successful team so we welcome and embrace all identities, cultures, and backgrounds.
