What You'll Do

We are building commercial-grade technology to operate kidney care services at scale. Our data platform is EMR agnostic which would enable data integrations between different applications. We are in progress of building our first applications on the top of the data platform. The Director of Data Engineering will provide hands-on technical and people leadership, partnering with digital product managers, software engineers and the larger technology team to drive technical decisions, design and develop solutions, and improve our data processes. 

Essential Functions 

  • Hire, manage and develop a growing team of data engineers, set clear expectations, and foster accountability and collaboration. Drive cloud-based architecture decisions while balancing people leadership with continued hands-on engineering as the team grows. 
  • Dig into source system data and business logic to inform business decisions and provide the right insights to internal and external stakeholders. Proactively identify needs, exercise sound judgment, and take ownership through delivery without constant direction. 
  • Work across data science, analytics, actuarial science, medical economics, engineering, clinical, market and financial teams to deliver required outputs, serving as a trusted technical partner who collaborates, constructively challenges ideas and works through difficult problems. Bring a passion for continuous learning and finding new and innovative ways to improve outcomes through data, while navigating ambiguity and adapting as organizational needs evolve.
  • Develop team members’ capabilities through technical mentorship, constructive feedback and teaching to raise engineering quality. Balance priorities across client projects and internal initiatives, take responsibility for commitments, and ensure delivery according to project requirements and timelines.

Minimum Qualifications 

  • 12+ years’ experience in a healthcare/technology related field, including deep data engineering and architecture experience, and experience managing and developing a growing team.
  • Internet Connectivity - Min Speeds: 3.8Mbps/3.0Mbps (up/down): Latency <60 ms.

  • Have experience with development methodologies, including the AGILE development approaches. 
  • Have experience working with claims data and EMR\EHR systems and an understanding of the healthcare clinical domain. 
  • Experience with value-based care and quality and risk adjustment data is a plus. 
  • Have a working knowledge of database principles, processes, technologies and tools. 
  • Have a working knowledge with structured and unstructured data. 
  • Able to design, develop and review code for data acquisition, integration and processing, remaining hands-on while leading the team.
