What the job involves
- Within Data Ingestion at Aledade we have two major problems: 1) Scale, 2) Variability
- As an Ingestion AI Engineer at Aledade, you will be focused on the variability problem
- Leveraging cutting edge AI tools you will design systems that handle the variability of data received from external sources
- Within healthcare, while there are format standards, they are loosely followed and in many cases for the data we receive, no standard exists
- Handling hundreds/thousands of disparate formats quickly is a challenge
- The faster we are able to stand up new data feeds, the more information we have about our patient population, the better care we enable our providers to render
- We're looking for engineers who know that writing new code is not always the solution to a problem, but when technological changes are needed they create secure, maintainable, performant, correct, scalable, and stable solutions to the complex and unique challenges in our corner of the healthcare industry
- They embrace strategies that minimize risk, leaning towards observability, alerting, metrics, high test coverage, and frequent releases that incrementally build value
- Develop and implement scalable and performant solutions
- Partner, as a peer, with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and stakeholders throughout Aledade to develop and execute technical roadmaps using Agile processes
- Mentor and coach more junior engineers including thorough pull request reviews for other developers and be receptive to critical feedback on your own work
Our take
The US primary care system suffers from a 'chronic lack of adequate support'. Aledade has set out to improve this by assisting independent physician practices from reducing costs to data integration support.
The company prides itself on stats of over 2.8 million patients across 46 states since its founding in 2014. The acquisition of Curia, (a leader in value-based care analytics using practical applications of AI to optimize the targeting of patient care and engagement programs) is also bringing the company to the modern world, enhancing its data understanding capabilities and challenging others in its sector with this advancement.
Aledade has won several awards over the years and is now considered the largest network of independent primary care in the country. Alongside this, the company is valued in the billions of dollars with many successful funding rounds. With the company consistently expanding and enhancing its technology it has become a pillar in the industry and therefore a very exciting company to keep an eye on.
