Join us in tackling healthcare for rural America! We're seeking a Sr. Data Engineer to be a key contributor to our Data team who is passionate about having positive societal impact and using technology for good - solving issues of health inequity for communities that have been perennially underserved. As a Sr. Data Engineer, you'll partner closely with our product, engineering, and analytics teams to support data-driven decision-making across the company by leading the design and development of our technical data infrastructure.

What you'll do:

• Work with data science, product, engineering, operations, and clinical teams to define requirements for Homeward's data infrastructure
• Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure a uniform and consistent taxonomy and data collection practices that yield high-quality analytics and insights for now and the future
• Design and build infrastructure to ingest, store, and report on members' health data, such as claims data, ADT (admission, discharge and transfer) data, lab results, medications, clinical data and more
• Design and implement workflows for ingestion and transformation of various data sources
• Work with a modern data engineering stack - some pieces of ours include Airbyte, Snowflake, and Metabase

What you bring:

• 5 years of hands-on data engineering experience in a healthcare setting (REQUIRED)
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related technical discipline or equivalent industry experience.
• You have in-depth experience working with data warehouses (preferably Snowflake) and relational databases (preferably Postgres)
• You have real-world experience working with data in FHIR and HL7 standards
• You have a healthy understanding of security and PHI, especially where it interacts with HIPAA regulations. You internalize that security is a first-order priority and evangelize this position to others through implementation and documentation.
• You have experience with structuring and permissioning data in data lakes / marts to make data available on a role-specific basis
• You are comfortable working with a variety of data formats as part of a data ingestion pipeline (we primarily deal with CSV and Parquet files)
• You have implemented infrastructure in a cloud environment, preferably AWS
• You have built well-structured data pipelines with ETL/ELT tools (preferably Airflow and dbt)

What shapes our company:

• Deep commitment to one another, the people and communities we serve, and to care that enables everyone to achieve their best health
• Compassion and empathy
• Curiosity and an eagerness to listen
• Drive to deliver high-quality experiences, clinical care, and cost-effectiveness
• Strong focus on the sustainability of our business and scalability of our services to maximize our reach and impact
• Nurturing a diverse workforce with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and points of view
• Taking our mission and business seriously, but not taking ourselves too seriously- having fun as we build!

Benefits:

• Competitive salary, equity grant, unlimited PTO
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental & vision insurance with 100% of monthly premium covered for employees
• Company-sponsored 401k plan
