Role
Who you are
- 6+ years developing, testing, and maintaining SQL transformations to deliver reproducible analytic results in a production setting atop data platforms such as Snowflake or Databricks
- Experience with dbt is a strong plus, but not required - we welcome candidates who are eager to learn
- 2+ years in a customer-facing role, developing and managing customer relationships
- Proven ability to work directly with customers to understand their needs, lead technical conversations (discovery calls, deep dives, and solution walkthroughs), and deliver technical solutions
- Familiarity with a scientific programming language such as Julia, Python, or R
- Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to convey complex analytics concepts to a variety of audiences
- Strong asynchronous communication skills and a knack for making the most of synchronous collaboration
- Product-oriented intuition for translating customer needs into configurable solutions and broadly applicable features
What the job involves
- Beacon Biosignals is seeking an experienced forward-deployed analytics engineer to support customers in making the most of our real-world datasets and accelerate growth of our analytics product offerings
- As a member of the Analytics Suites Team, you'll partner with customers to develop custom data models, visualizations, and integrations to apply Beacon’s platform-hosted analytics to meet their needs
- Your data solutions will transform, enrich, and summarize our ever-growing datasets of biosignals, machine learning outputs, biosignal-derived metrics, and clinical metadata
- You'll also design and maintain canonical data representations and automated data pipelines and the scientific products that they power, from automated scientific reports to interactive dashboards
- This is a customer-facing, product-oriented role - you'll work directly with Beacon’s customers and alongside engineers, product managers, scientists, and clinicians to turn scientific questions into robust, versioned data products
- This role reports to the manager of the Analytics Suites Team within the Analytics and Machine Learning domain at Beacon
- Why this role? You'll help define Beacon's analytics offerings for sleep-focused data partnerships, and you'll develop new data flows that power internal efforts to identify novel biomarkers for sleep disorders and other neurological diseases
- At Beacon, we've found that cultural and scientific impact is driven most by those who lead by example. As such, we're always seeking out new contributors whose work demonstrates innate curiosity, a bias toward simplicity, an eye for composability, a self-service mindset, and most of all, a deep empathy toward colleagues, stakeholders, users, and patients. We believe a diverse team builds more robust systems and achieves higher impact
- This position is based in the Boston area to support regular onsite customer engagement and close partnership with our Boston-based team
- Work directly with external partners and customers to understand their data needs, analytical workflows, and technical constraints, and translate those into concrete solutions leveraging Beacon analytics products and tools
- Lead discussions on data-oriented technical challenges and solutions with a variety of audiences, communicating clearly and tailoring explanations to achieve an appropriate level of technical depth
- Design and implement custom data solutions for customers, developing on either the Beacon platform or the customer’s platform depending on the problem at hand
- Provide synchronous support, documentation, and example solutions that highlight Beacon’s analytics capabilities that empower customers to self-serve analytics and use them as inputs to their own bespoke analyses
- Build and maintain core analytics products including versioned data models, dashboards, and reports that power real-world data investigations, clinical diagnostics, and clinical trials
- Translate lessons learned from external partnerships into analytics product improvements
- Develop templates, documentation, and practices for real-world data partnerships that reduce repeated efforts
Our take
The brain has long been considered one of the most mysterious fields of medicine - and psychiatric and neurological diseases therefore one of the least understood. Better access to real-time brain data, however, could change this. That’s exactly what Beacon Biosignals is hoping to deliver.
Beacon Biosignals has developed a scalable electroencephalogram (EEG) analytics platform that leverages AI to more accurately and insightfully manage brain data. Its capabilities run from analysing existing data, to identifying and standardising neorobiomarkers, to continuously aggregating and analysing trial data.
The hope is that this will help clinical brain researchers carry out faster and more accurate work, ultimately accelerating the pace of treatment development in neurology. It’s a smart new AI application, and Beacon Biosignals is acquiring new companies to scale and receiving handsome funding - but for that reason the company isn’t alone in pursuing it. Bitbrain is also developing neurology AI, although with a tighter focus on product development. This may help differentiate Beacon Biosignals in what is still a relatively new market area.
