Data Engineer, Platform

OUR  MISSION

Imagine building a better healthcare journey for patients with cancer, where individuals and their loved ones feel seen, supported, and heard by their care team – both in and out of the clinic. Where fast access to high-quality care is the norm, not the exception. Where patients have access to a care navigator to guide them through their diagnosis and trusted support all along the way.

At Thyme Care, we share a passion for transforming the cancer care experience – not just for patients but also for their caregivers and loved ones, as well as those delivering and paying for their care. Today, Thyme Care is known predominantly as a cancer care navigation company enabling value-based cancer care; in the next few years, we will become a nationally recognized technology-driven and provider-centric care delivery model, reshaping the landscape of cancer care access, delivery, and experience. Our commitment runs deep—we're not satisfied with the status quo but determined to redefine it.

To make this happen, we’re building a diverse team of problem solvers and critical thinkers to drive innovation and shape the future of healthcare. If you share our vision and want to be part of something truly meaningful, we want to hear from you. Together, we can revolutionize cancer care and make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Data Engineer on the Data Platform team, you’ll help design, build, and maintain the systems and tooling that power Thyme Care’s data ecosystem. You’ll collaborate closely with data analysts, data scientists, and healthcare actuaries to enable accurate, efficient, and scalable data access across the company.

You’ll work on a blend of platform engineering and data pipeline development—owning key systems that ensure our data is reliable, observable, and actionable.

In your first six weeks, you will:

• Ramp up on Thyme Care’s data platform architecture, pipelines, and tooling.
• Own the execution and delivery of your first project, while becoming familiar with Thyme Care’s development processes.
• Shadow our on-call rotation, helping to triage new alerts and maintain the health of our data infrastructure

In your first six months, you will:

• Play a critical role in migrating our existing tooling and infrastructure from Postgres to a new data warehouse.
• Build and improve workflow orchestration using Dagster to ensure reliability and observability of our data processes.
• Being developing internal tooling that empowers analysts, scientists, and actuaries to work more efficiently with our data.
• Work with our platform engineers and data team to scope experiments and new product ideas.

WHAT YOU’VE DONE

• You have worked as a data or platform engineer in a modern data stack environment, ideally in a fast-moving, early-stage or growth-stage company.
• You have built, deployed, and maintained dbt data pipelines. You have strong SQL and Python skills.
• You have experience building workflow orchestration in tools like Dagster, Airflow, or Prefect.
• You’re comfortable iterating quickly to ship MVPs, and you know how to take a project from a loosely scoped idea to a fully realized feature.

Nice to have, but not required:

• You have hands-on experience with Snowflake, Databricks, and/or Terraform.
• You’ve built internal tools for data teams or contributed to shared data infrastructure.
• You have worked in healthcare or other regulated data environments.
