What the job involves
- As Vanna continues to grow, we’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to build and mature the data platform capabilities that are foundational to Vanna’s success across several key domains, including population evaluation and selection, member outreach and engagement, and optimization of clinical and financial outcomes for both individual members and our populations as a whole
- You’ll work closely with our engineering, product, operations, and clinical teams to develop the technology that enables our community-based teams to provide compassionate care to our members living with severe mental illness
- This is a unique opportunity to join a small but growing team, where you’ll have the opportunity to develop many of our foundational data capabilities from scratch and own projects end-to-end
- Design, build, and operate cloud-based data infrastructure, optimizing for scale, performance, and cost efficiency as the size of our data grows
- Automate data flows, and layer in monitoring, alerting, and data quality tests to ensure data is accurate and up-to-date
- Build interfaces that allow for exposing data and associated processing functionality directly to end users and other systems
- Design and implement production-grade ML/AI infrastructure, and partner with data scientists to take models into production
- Build frameworks and internal self-service tooling that helps the data team deliver value faster
Our take
There are 14 million Americans living with serious mental illness, the vast majority of whom never receive any kind of psychosocial rehabilitation. This is a silent human crisis, with sufferers having life expectancies decades shorter than the average and a greatly elevated risk of poverty, homelessness and incarceration.
Vanna Health exists to help support people suffering from serious mental illness by strengthening the community support structures around them. A for-profit company, it works by providing values to its partner insurers, agencies and hospitals, bundling clinical treatment plans and community offerings in a way that greatly reduces the cost of care while delivering outcomes that far outperform the rather dire status quo in US mental health care.
Vanna Health raised significant funding in late 2022, enabling it to officially launch its services in the United States. It will be investing heavily in building new health care partnerships, expanding its clinical teams and developing its tech stack. In the longer term it could well develop into a significant part of the mental health care landscape in the US medical system.
