Senior Data Engineer

At Nuna, our mission is to make high-quality healthcare affordable and accessible for everyone. We are dedicated to tackling one of our nation’s biggest problems with ingenuity, creativity, and a keen moral compass.

Nuna is committed to simple principles: a rigorous understanding of data, modern technology, and most importantly, compassion and care for our fellow human. We want to know what really works, what doesn't—and why. 

YOUR TEAM

Nuna’s product offerings enable delivery of value-based care contracts, at scale across the United States. Value-based healthcare aims to shift reimbursement from fee-for-service to fee-for-value where providers are incentivized to deliver higher quality care to their patients at a lower cost. It is incredibly difficult to operationalize value-based arrangements due to the variability in both contract configurations and measurement of health outcomes. The Value Platform teams are creating a scalable platform to accurately and efficiently implement complex value-based care programs. 

YOUR OPPORTUNITIES

In this role, you will:

• Build products that change the dynamics and incentives of the healthcare industry, changing a zero-sum game of competition between payers and providers into patient-centered collaboration
• Contribute to design and implementation of data pipeline framework and assist with data analytics/quality
• Manage our high stakes production environment, ensuring high availability/low latency and protecting our sensitive data with rigorous security
• Mentor more junior engineers and, in turn, learn from more senior engineers, because we are learners, not knowers, and growing Nuna’s people is the most reliable way to scale our impact
• Work as part of a team, not in a silo - at Nuna, we rise by lifting others!
