Position Summary

We're looking for an experienced, solution-focused Data Engineer with demonstrated experience working on healthcare and insurance industry pipelines to support our claims processing, data insights and analytics efforts. If you enjoy designing and building scalable, efficient data solutions while collaborating with and mentoring other great engineers, please read on

This data engineer would help us integrate various external and internal data sources, with a special focus on medical and prescription claims data ingestion. This work is pivotal to enabling data analytics and data science efforts to assess the impact of our program on clinical outcomes, as well as personalize the program experience for our members. There will also be close collaboration with our Clinical Research and Client Success teams, who will be some of the main consumers of the claims data pipeline.

The ideal candidate is someone who can reason through the interactions of a distributed system and deliver solutions that emphasize simplicity, reliability and supportability.

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:

  • Expanding and supporting our capabilities to ingest and organize medical and pharmaceutical claims data, along with other forms of healthcare and population health datasets
  • Writing and implementing automated, scaleable pipelines to ingest and process medical claims in a variety of formats using DBT and the Google Cloud ecosystem
  • Working with the product team, stakeholders and end users to clearly identify requirements, generate timely iterable releases and proactively improve the end-user experience for both internal and external customers
  • Develop the kind of software and pipelines that you'd want to inherit from another developer (documentation, test coverage, logging, metrics, etc.)
  • Collaborate with the rest of your engineering team on design, planning and code reviews
  • Partner with product stakeholders on ideation, feedback and refinement of solutions that meet our business needs
  • Keep learning

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

  • A team player. You like collaborating closely with other engineers, often through pair programming, design & 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

  • 3+ years of demonstrated experience building and supporting data pipelines, SaaS solutions or other related technologies
  • Experience working with medical, healthcare and/or population health data, including expertise in medical and pharmacy claims data (e.g., medical coding systems, nuances specific to interpreting claims data)
  • Proficiency with SQL, Python and some form of ELT/ETL solutions
  • Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) frameworks, including, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, Cloud Composer
  • Outstanding communication and interpersonal abilities with colleagues, business partners, and vendors alike
  • Experience working in a HIPAA regulated environment (or other regulated industry) and supporting data security and privacy controls
  • Bonus:
    • Experience with DBT, or similar data transformation frameworks
    • Degree in Computer Science or a related field

Compensation Range: $140K - $150K
