We are hiring an Analytics Engineer to join our Data Foundations team. This is a net-new headcount as we scale the foundational data that powers everything from clinical analytics to operational dashboards and client-facing reports.
You will work between data ingestion and transformation, helping us build and monitor pipelines that power analytics across core healthcare datasets like medical claims, pharmacy, lab results and biometric data. You will also contribute to building robust, scalable data models in DBT + BigQuery, serving use cases across product, operations and clinical teams. This role is ideal for someone who’s technically strong in SQL/DBT, experienced with healthcare data and eager to work at the intersection of infrastructure, data quality and downstream impact.

Responsibilities:

• Monitor and support critical inbound pipelines for claims, pharmacy, lab and biometric data, ensuring completeness and timeliness.
• Design and maintain scalable, modular DBT models on top of BigQuery to power internal analytics and performance guarantees.
• Translate business logic and metric definitions into reusable, production-grade data transformations.
• Partner with Data Analysts and cross-functional stakeholders to make healthcare data more reliable and accessible.
• Contribute to data validation frameworks and observability across the analytics stack.
• Support ingestion and mapping of complex structured healthcare data (e.g., FHIR, EHR, pharmacy claims) into proprietary canonical models.
• Drive documentation, testing and data governance best practices across your work.
• Participate in code reviews, schema design discussions and cross-team architecture decisions.
• Ensure data integrity, quality and observability throughout the analytics stack.
• Contribute to data governance, documentation and knowledge sharing across the data team.
• Partner with engineering teams on data infrastructure and with business teams to align on key metrics and KPIs.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years in analytics engineering, data engineering or similar analytics-focused roles.
• Strong experience with SQL and modern data modeling practices (e.g., dimensional modeling, star/snowflake schemas).
• Experience using DBT (preferred) or an equivalent transformation framework.
• Familiarity with cloud data warehouses (ideally BigQuery; Redshift/Snowflake okay).
• Experience with ETL/ELT orchestration tools like Airflow or similar.
• A strong understanding of healthcare data (especially claims, labs, pharmacy) and its common challenges.
• Comfort handling PHI/PII, with familiarity around HIPAA-compliant analytics practices.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams.
