Job/Role Description

As a Data Engineer at Phamily, you’ll own the pipelines and infrastructure that power our AI-driven virtual care platform. You’ll build automated data workflows that ingest, standardize, and deliver healthcare data into our product and analytics environment.

• Productionize ML/AI batch jobs and publish outputs into analytics-ready tables.
• Maintain and refresh healthcare reference datasets (e.g., NPI, codesets, CMS lists) on schedule.
• Document pipelines clearly and make outputs consumable for analytics and BI teams.
• Handle PHI with care and follow HIPAA-aligned data governance practices.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience building batch data workflows using Python and SQL, publishing to cloud data warehouses (BigQuery preferred).
• Proficiency with modern schedulers/orchestrators (e.g., Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) and containerized environments.
• Experience ingesting data from APIs, files, and SFTP sources, including schema evolution management.
• Strong debugging, monitoring, and CI/CD fundamentals.
• Excellent documentation and communication skills with an ownership mindset.
• Bonus: Experience with dbt, data quality testing, or healthcare data formats (claims, EHR, CMS datasets).
• Bonus: Familiarity with running ML jobs in production.

Our Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
• Potential to earn equity based on performance
• Remote-friendly work environment
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents at a nominal cost
