  • 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

  • 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

Our take

Vivian is a recruitment and job search platform helping healthcare staff locate and secure new placements. Beginning as "NurseFly", it changed its name in 2021 to reflect a broadening focus from travel nursing positions to healthcare staff at large.

The healthcare recruitment market has long been plagued by costly hiring processes and a lack of transparency. Taking these issues head-on, Vivian’s job match and messaging features streamline and readjust the way this operates, which is how the company has become the largest labor marketplace for US healthcare.

With the increasing turnover in healthcare staff, and fears that many workers will leave the industry entirely, institutions are under increasing pressure to address the shortcomings of healthcare staffing. Vivian is poised to address this issue, making for a large opportunity for its future growth and development.
