About the role
- Machinify is a leading healthcare intelligence company with expertise across the payment continuum, delivering unmatched value, transparency, and efficiency to health plan clients across the country.
- You'll sit with the people who run our business, learn how the work actually happens, and turn that into certified models, metric definitions that survive scrutiny, and reports people use.
- Our analytics warehouse unifies four platforms into one measurement model across dozens of unique client workflows.
Responsibilities
- Own metric definitions. One measure, one definition, one place, documented so a non-engineer can read it. Today a single operating metric can be re-derived in a dozen models
- Own orchestration for what you build. dbt Cloud job design, Airflow DAGs, scheduling, dependency ordering, dependable incremental runs.
- Write it down. Design documents, model documentation, a CI-enforced knowledge base, and business-readable handoff packets, so whoever inherits your work doesn't have to re-derive it.
- Own metric definitions. One measure, one definition, one place, documented so a non-engineer can read it. Today a single operating metric can be re-derived in a dozen models; collapsing that into a governed semantic layer is yours.
- Own a real greenfield problem. We're building a governed semantic layer that centralizes business logic. It's a funded priority and one of the highest-impact problems on the team.
- See your work reach the business. This team owns the work all the way to the reporting layer, so you'll see how your decisions affect real business users.
- Own a real greenfield problem.
- We're building a governed semantic layer that centralizes business logic.
- You can focus on solving new problems instead of building basic engineering discipline from scratch.
- This team owns the work all the way to the reporting layer, so you'll see how your decisions affect real business users.
Requirements
- 6+ years across analytics engineering, BI engineering, data engineering, or business analysis, with production ownership of the models and metrics you built.
- You have opinions about project structure and can defend them.
- You can run a requirements conversation with a non-technical owner, turn a vague complaint into a testable definition, explain a data problem as business risk, and tell someone their metric is wrong without losing them.
- Comfort with high autonomy in a fast, async, Slack-first environment.
- We participate in E-Verify as required by applicable law.
- Expert SQL and strong dimensional modeling instincts. You spot a grain mismatch in someone else's model before you run it.
- Production dbt: models, tests, macros, exposures, documentation, and CI. You have opinions about project structure and can defend them.
- Hands-on with a cloud lakehouse or warehouse. Databricks and Spark SQL preferred
- Real visualization talent. You've owned a BI semantic layer and the reports on top of it, not just the tables underneath. Power BI and DAX strongly preferred
- Looker/LookML, Tableau, MetricFlow, or Cube are credible substitutes. Bring dashboards you designed and be ready to say what you left out.
- Stakeholder fluency. You can run a requirements conversation with a non-technical owner, turn a vague complaint into a testable definition, explain a data problem as business risk, and tell someone their metric is wrong without losing them.
- A reconciliation reflex. When two numbers disagree you don't average them, escalate them, or trust the newer one. You find out why.
- Git and pull-request discipline as normal practice rather than overhead.
- Python where it's genuinely the right tool (API calls, file parsing, statistics, report generation), and the judgment to reach for SQL where it isn't.
- Comfort with high autonomy in a fast, async, Slack-first environment. You decide inside your lane and inform, rather than queuing decisions for permission.
Nice to have
- Freshness and latency detection, statistical anomaly detection, and value-drift monitoring, plus the data tests, regression guards, and CI checks that keep a defect you just fixed from coming back.
- Hands-on with a cloud lakehouse or warehouse.
- Databricks and Spark SQL preferred
- Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift transfer well.
- Real visualization talent.
- You've owned a BI semantic layer and the reports on top of it, not just the tables underneath.
- Power BI and DAX strongly preferred
- Looker/LookML, Tableau, MetricFlow, or Cube are credible substitutes.
