About the role

Senior Data Engineer to shape Vida's data platform, owning data systems end-to-end from ingestion to delivery and collaborating across Engineering, Product, Operations, and Analytics.

Responsibilities

  • Own production data systems and domains from ingestion through delivery.
  • Design ingestion patterns that handle incomplete, duplicated, delayed, malformed, and changing partner data.
  • Define the contracts between source systems, ingestion, transformation, and downstream consumers.
  • Design data models with clear grain, keys, history, and definitions so the same question doesn't get two different answers.
  • Evolve schemas, pipelines, and datasets safely, with retries, backfills, and replay that don't corrupt or duplicate data.
  • Improve pipeline performance, observability, and failure handling so you can tell when something is wrong and why.
  • Work with Engineering, Product, Operations, and Analytics to figure out what the data needs to represent when requirements are incomplete or messy.
  • Additional responsibilities as needed.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree at a minimum.
  • 5+ years building production data systems.
  • Strong SQL and data modeling fundamentals, including grain, keys, history, dimensional modeling, and the tradeoffs between different representations of the same data.
  • Experience designing and operating batch and asynchronous data pipelines, including the failure modes that appear in distributed systems.
  • Experience with a cloud data platform and an understanding of storage, query performance, and cost.
  • Strong instincts around data correctness, including validation, idempotency, late and duplicated records, schema changes, backfills, and reprocessing.
  • Working proficiency in Python for pipelines, services, tooling, and tests.
  • The ability to change production systems in ordered, reversible steps without breaking their consumers.
  • Clear written communication, including documenting technical decisions and explaining changes to people outside of engineering.
  • You do not need previous healthcare experience or experience with every technology we use.
