Role
Who you are
- Mastery of SQL with experience developing data pipelines in a cloud based database environment (e.g.BigQuery), including scheduling your own queries (e.g. using Airflow or Stitch)
- 3+ years experience delivering data products in a modern BI technology (ideally Looker) or open source data frameworks (e.g. streamlit)
- Experience using programming languages (e.g. Python, Scala) to build effective data architecture, streamline data processing, and improve data efficiency via automation
- Experience working collaboratively with data analysts, data scientists, business managers and product managers to establish their needs and convert to structured data needs
- Experience implementing full continuous delivery pipelines to automate builds, tests, and deployments in one release workflow, using modern tools and systems (e.g. Git, Jenkins)
- Strong executional capacity in dev/data/security operations, including writing code for automation, scripting and managing cloud infrastructure and security (e.g. Terraform) and implementing these operational practices within the team
- Great communication and data modelling (especially dimensional modelling) skills (e.g. Kimball)
- A high degree of self-sufficiency, with proven track record of delivery in a high autonomy environment
- You’re committed. You’re committed to making data easy to use by people across our business, ensuring it’s a source of value for the people in care operations and for the people in our care. This makes you bold but thoughtful, able to thrive in a fast paced, complex data environment
- You’re a creator. You’ll apply your skills as a data professional and drive for simplicity to innovate and find the right solutions for our people’s data needs, challenging the status quo - there must be a better way. If it can be imagined, you make it possible
- You’re a connector. You work across our product, engineering and operations teams to scope datasets that enable delivery of reporting, insights and training data at heart of achieving our mission. You keep our carers and service users in mind, connecting their operational needs and health needs with your delivery pipelines
- You’re a perfectionist. You drive a high standard/best practice for our data warehouse and data pipelines
- You’re an evangelist. You will build support for the importance of collecting and leveraging data, be open and willing to engage with everyone to discuss, to share, to inquire, and to inspire, and spread the word about our data products and services
- You’re purpose driven. You care about the value your highly valued skills have to contribute to tackling one of society's greatest challenges: affordable care
What the job involves
- You’ll work with software engineers and system owners to understand and document where and how data is created, influencing upstream to ensure quality and integrity at source where possible
- You’ll engineer pipelines to collect and protect data from multiple sources (e.g. Relational and non-relational data stores, APIs, Google Drive, event delivery pipelines), into a single persistent storage solution that enables everything from simple reporting to ML-backed products
- You’ll work with the technical and data leadership to make the data architecture and technology decisions needed to deliver in the present and set us up for the future by articulating our challenges, establishing selection criteria and evaluating options before opening for comment with other engineers and tech leads
- You’ll implement engineering operational excellence/site reliability best practices for your data pipelines, including defining and instrumenting metrics that become a part of our team OKRs
- Coach, mentor and develop a data engineering team to deliver the backlog
- You’ll drive your own development, and will be supported in doing so, ensuring steady progress on your path to mastery as a data engineer
- You’ll lead initiatives to improve our data accuracy, availability, granularity, coverage, and overall robustness of our data management capabilities
Our take
Cera is a professional home healthcare service that works via a digital platform to provide transparent, consistent, and efficient care. The idea was born from personal experience, after one of its founders experienced the crises of inefficiencies and outdated systems that come with trying to organise care for a loved one.
With digital monitoring, Cera allows its carers to predict and prevent changes to the condition of those in their care, and respond to deterioration much faster than traditional methods. Further, the platform reduces the burden of ‘pen and paper’ administrative work for carers, enabling them to concentrate on delivering care.
Because Cera's platform requires lower overhead than traditional providers, the company is able to pay above market average while still offering affordable rates, allowing it to recruit experienced and capable carers that deliver high quality care. It is a well-funded company with significant growth plans, and continues to launch disruptive features such as its high-accuracy Fall Prediction AI.
