Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate will have a robust engineering background with an expert grasp of Python and SQL, along with the versatility to work with JavaScript
- 10+ years of engineering experience, with a proven track record in managing complex data ingestion pipelines and debugging data/code issues
- Expert-level proficiency in Python and SQL, with demonstrated experience in data processing, transformations, and troubleshooting
- Fluency in JavaScript for job data ingestion infrastructure
- Significant experience with messy data feeds: able to process, clean, and normalize data from diverse sources
- Strong debugging skills, particularly in handling unpredictable data sources and developing long-term solutions for platform stability

- Understanding of modern software engineering practices including CI/CD, version control (Git), and test-driven development
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to think critically and creatively to solve complex data challenges
What the job involves
- We are looking for an experienced and driven Staff Software Engineer with a passion for data ingestion and a talent for untangling complex data and code challenges
- This role will focus on managing and improving the ingestion of hundreds of our client job feeds, addressing issues as they arise, and building scalable solutions to streamline and enhance our platform
- Oversee the ingestion of hundreds of client data feeds, monitoring for inconsistencies and managing data flow to ensure accuracy, completeness, and quality
- Debug and resolve complex, “messy” issues across both data feeds and code, maintaining stability and consistency in data ingestion processes
- Develop and refine solutions to handle data complexities, allowing for efficient management and processing of incoming feeds
- Collaborate with product, data engineering, and operations teams to identify bottlenecks in the current process, propose and implement improvements
- Build and maintain robust documentation on ingestion workflows and debugging procedures, enhancing knowledge sharing and operational efficiency
- Collaborate with and mentor team members, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous improvement in data ingestion and debugging practices
Our take
Vivian is a recruitment and job search platform helping healthcare staff locate and secure new placements. The company changed its name in 2021 as it has since broadened its focus from travel nursing positions to healthcare staff at large, swiftly becoming the largest labor marketplace for US healthcare.
The healthcare recruitment market has long been plagued by issues like protracted, costly hiring processes, and a lack of transparency. Vivian’s job match and messaging features streamline and readjust the way this market operates.
With the increasing turnover in healthcare staff as seen over the last few years, and sparking fears that many workers will leave the industry entirely, institutions are under increasing pressure to address the shortcomings of healthcare staffing. Vivian is already addressing this healthcare hiring crisis, and is being rewarded with a substantial increase in professionals turning to its solution.
