- Comfortable with SQL and working with Postgres databases
- Technical familiarity across the data ecosystem: storage, query and ETL orchestration technology; governance and quality; analytics, visualization, and AI/ML pipelines

What the job involves
- We are seeking a seasoned Software Engineer III to join our Data Integration and Platforms team
- This role will help us tackle challenges of scale, quality and insight as the company grows its market share and product scope
- You will be responsible for building systems and technologies used by client-facing engineers performing data integrations with electronic health record systems; those used by product engineers integrating with partners and making their own data available for analysis; those used by data scientists creating business insights that help build better products and create better patient experiences
- This new team brings together engineers from multiple parts of the organization, and you will be responsible for building toward a common data, AI and ML platform vision - then relentlessly executing while staying atop evolving business priorities
- Contribute to the evolution of our integration data pipelines from homegrown ETL scripts to a modern, scalable data stack (e.g., dbt, Airflow, Snowflake)
- Engineer for scale, improve the performance of our data pipelines to handle the daily processing of tens of millions of records while ensuring high quality and robust observability
- Develop our data platform to serve our most popular products while laying the foundation to enable ease of data onboarding and use for new experiments and use cases

- Apply rigorous software engineering practices to the data domain, including version control, automated testing (unit/integration), CI/CD, and structured logging/observability
Our take
Over $1B is said to be lost annually by physicians as a result of inefficient and disjointed healthcare billing practices. The subsequently low patient satisfaction rates lead to poorer care, and real losses for providers who see patients switching away from their plans.
Cedar looks to remedy these issues with a selection of consumer-facing services which streamline billing, insurance and healthcare processes. Healthcare billing concerns a huge percentage of US adults, so optimizing patient satisfaction is of increasing concern - a great opportunity for the company.
After acquiring competing patient finance streamlining service OODA Health in 2021, Cedar netted substantial funds and launched its Payer Intelligence Layer. This has allowed it to integrate data from insurers and providers to create a single source of information. The company was also endorsed by the Montana Hospital Association's shared services division, to be listed as its only preferred patient financial engagement technology.
