About the role

  • We are seeking a Senior Applied Research Data Engineer who thrives at the intersection of data engineering, applied research, and domain discovery.
  • This is not a traditional data engineering role focused solely on pipelines and infrastructure.
  • You will work closely with AI researchers, data scientists, clinicians, and product experts to transform complex healthcare data into trusted, reusable, AI-ready research assets.

Responsibilities

  • Investigate and document complex business logic by analyzing source systems, stored procedures, application code, and stakeholder workflows.
  • Partner directly with researchers to design datasets for experimentation, evaluation, and model training.
  • Create semantic data definitions, lineage documentation, provenance records, and data quality frameworks that enable reproducible research.
  • Develop point-in-time-correct datasets, feature sets, and evaluation corpora for classical ML and generative AI workloads.
  • Support advanced AI data preparation techniques including programmatic labeling, weak supervision, synthetic data generation, and research dataset curation.
  • You create documentation, data definitions, and semantic models that other teams depend on.

Requirements

  • Experience handling regulated or sensitive data under controlled access (HIPAA or equivalent).
  • Familiarity with general de-identification concepts.
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, data science, engineering, statistics, or related field.
  • Success in this role requires curiosity, investigative thinking, and the ability to uncover meaning in complex, poorly documented systems.
  • Required Skills and Experience
  • You are comfortable working with incomplete documentation and legacy systems.
  • You can translate conversations with clinicians, product experts, and researchers into robust data products.

Nice to have

  • Hands-on EHR data experience, ideally in skilled nursing, long-term care, post-acute care, or senior living.

Compensation

  • These will include, but not limited to, onboarding, team events, semi-annual and annual team meetings.

Benefits

  • Benefits starting from Day 1!
  • Build and own reusable gold-layer data products that power AI, machine learning, and generative AI research.
  • Transform structured, semi-structured, and unstructured healthcare data into trusted, model-ready datasets.
  • You enjoy learning new domains and solving ambiguous data problems.
