Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for a Staff-level engineer who has seen and built great data platforms, is not afraid of legacy, and thrives in environments where the vision is clear, the systems are evolving, and the company is depending on data to unlock its next stage of growth
- 7+ years of experience in data engineering or software engineering with a focus on building scalable, well-tested systems
- Advanced fluency in SQL and Python with strong instincts around modular modeling, optimization, and abstraction
- Experience building on top of a modern managed data warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift
- Proven history of taking ambiguous, fragmented data systems and turning them into reliable, documented, high-trust platforms
- Ability to operate independently at a Staff level with a high sense of ownership
- A background in strong engineering cultures or top-tier product environments where quality, velocity, and ownership coexist
- Passion for clarity, simplicity, and helping teams move faster without cutting corners
What the job involves
- As our Staff Data Engineer, you will own and evolve the foundational data systems that power NexHealth’s analytics and unlock the next generation of customer-facing insights. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role that combines architectural influence with deep execution. We need to expand our data capabilities for scale and improve our daily operations and enable self-service. You will drive the transformation of our data infrastructure
- You will design data pipelines, refactor the warehouse architecture, and lay down the modeling foundations that enable trusted analytics across the company. This work directly supports our mission to become the API for healthcare. With access to a rich and growing corpus of medical data, you will help NexHealth become a leader in data strategy, intelligence, and customer enablement
- Lead the architectural evolution of our data warehouse, modeling layer, and pipeline structure
- Refactor core data models to support fast, self-serve access and shared understanding across teams
- Build reliable ingestion and transformation systems that abstract over messy or fragmented inputs
- Take responsibility for the structure, reliability, and extensibility of our warehouse and modeling layers
- Replace brittle vendor-based pipelines with scalable, maintainable ingestion and transformation infrastructure
- Build in observability, alerting, and validation to ensure the platform can scale with confidence
- Collaborate closely with Staff-level analysts, engineers, and data consumers to unblock their workflows and enable data insights
- Partner with software engineers to anticipate and manage upstream schema changes and database shifts
- Define and enforce clear data contracts and interface boundaries
- Shape how the company can eventually leverage data science, customer segmentation, and industry-wide insights
Our take
The lack of integrated medical records is one of the largest obstacles the healthcare industry faces. Clinics must organize appointments and manage both paper and electronic health records, a process which is time-consuming and error-prone.
NexHealth is setting out to change this by building its own data-sharing highway. The platform enables real-time scheduling of healthcare appointments, care-to-patient communications and digital record management. Not only does this help doctors digitize their practices and provide a better patient experience, but it also means developers at other healthcare companies can use NexHealth’s piping (rather than integrate with hundreds of different electronic health records).
In 2022, NexHealth reached a valuation of over $1B, solidifying its status as a Unicorn, and with the support of numerous investors, the company is poised for further expansion. The recent announcement of a new office in Utah (its largest physical presence), marks an exciting new chapter in NexHealth's journey, offering the chance for more groundbreaking work and the expansion of its team.
