• Strong command of SQL and relational databases, with the ability to model and query data effectively.

• Experience designing and building scalable data pipelines and workflows for high-volume systems.

• A collaborative mindset. You communicate effectively, work well across teams, and enjoy partnering with others to solve complex challenges.

• A track record of delivering meaningful outcomes. You have led projects, supported migrations, and contributed features that created measurable impact.

• Educational background in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field is a plus.

While not required, familiarity with the following tools and domains may help you ramp up quickly:

• Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, AWS Marketplace, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, GitHub Actions
• Data & Analytics: Snowflake, Databricks, Apache Spark, Polars
• Web & Backend: Flask, scalable API development
• Platforms: Building and deploying software on Windows, Mac, and Linux
• Domain Experience: Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, or healthcare, particularly healthcare data, HIPAA, and data privacy.

We recognise that experience comes in many forms. If you're excited about this opportunity, we encourage you to apply even if your background doesn't align with every qualification listed above.

What You Will Do:

• Build and deliver impactful products. Play a key role in the design, implementation, and end-to-end development of applications that power our healthcare data ecosystem.

• Support and mentor fellow engineers while helping build reliable, scalable, and impactful solutions.

• Take ownership of meaningful projects, contribute to technical decisions, and help shape the future direction of our products.

• Develop innovative data solutions that help clients unlock better insights and outcomes from healthcare data.

• Work with modern technologies including Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Spark, Snowflake, AWS, Azure, and more.
