Staff Data Scientist

NexHealth's mission is to accelerate innovation in healthcare. Fixing healthcare is the challenge of our generation. This industry is stuck in the 1990s while affordability and accessibility are spiraling out of control. We currently spend ~20% of GDP on healthcare, while the 25% of the world's data is stuck on legacy and antiquated health systems. NexHealth's goal is to create an open and modern ecosystem to accelerate innovation in the space. We make it easier for everybody to build in healthcare, and ultimately empower ordinary people with access to more modern, efficient and affordable healthcare solutions.

This is a zero-to-one role where you will move fast, ship scalable systems, and apply first-principles thinking to every modeling decision. If you love combining engineering with analytical depth, this is your canvas.

  • Experience designing and automating data pipelines using APIs from Stripe, Chargebee, Salesforce, or similar platforms.
  • Hands-on experience implementing data quality testing, CI/CD, and version control practices for analytics.
  • Proven ability to translate quantitative insights into actionable recommendations for executive or product leadership.
  • Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
  • A builder mindset: excited by blank slates, scaling impact through automation, and simplifying complexity through systems.

• At least seven years of experience in data science or analytics engineering at a high-growth SaaS company, ideally where you built foundational systems
• Strong skills with modern data stacks such as Snowflake, DBT, and Sigma (or similar BI tools)
• Deep understanding of SaaS financial metrics such as ARR, churn, retention, lifetime value, and CAC payback, and how to model them in SQL and code

• Solid engineering instincts, including version control, testing, and CI/CD for analytics
• Strong communication and storytelling skills that connect insights to decisions
• A builder mindset: excited by blank slates, scaling impact through automation, and simplifying complexity through systems
