  • You’re comfortable working across a wide range of data types and tools, and you approach complex problems with curiosity and pragmatism
  • You’re collaborative, thoughtful, and proactive, with a strong sense of ownership and care for the people who depend on the data you build
  • Ideally, you come from data engineering or software background in healthcare, biotech, or other high-trust data environments
  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering, ETL development, or cloud-based data orchestration. 3+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or applied research, IF hold a PHD/published research
  • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL
  • Hands-on experience with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, or similar)
  • Experience with cloud platforms and services (AWS, Azure, GCP familiarity is a plus)
  • Experience building on Databricks and working with distributed processing frameworks (Apache Spark, Dask, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of data validation, observability, testing, and production best practices

  • This role focuses on building robust orchestration and cloud-native data systems (Airflow, AWS, Databricks) that support high-volume, heterogeneous datasets — from DICOM imaging to biomarkers, reports, and other structured and unstructured health data. You’ll help ensure that these systems are performant, scalable, and production-ready as our platform and data footprint continue to grow
  • You will be working closely with the Data team and AI engineering team and reporting to Radhika Tibrewala
  • Design and operate scalable data pipelines and orchestration systems supporting imaging and biomarker data (e.g., Airflow, cloud services, distributed compute platforms)
  • Contribute to PHI-safe, compliant data infrastructure aligned with healthcare standards (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.)
  • Enhance performance and fault-tolerance across distributed data workflows
  • Partner with the data management lead to integrate DICOM and data pipelines into the broader data lake and analytics stack
  • Implement robust data validation, observability, and monitoring systems for production pipelines
