Senior Software Engineer  - Data Engineering Platform

Protecting patient healthcare information is the #1 cybersecurity objective within the $3 trillion U.S. healthcare industry. Healthcare has a multitude of data security software tools and defensive strategies already in place, but they fall way short in securing healthcare’s uniquely complex infrastructure. Further, with the advent of the COVID-19 crisis and even more remote care, the patient data “attack surface” has increased exponentially. The need for what we are building has never been greater.

Tausight is a patient data security startup with a mission of reducing healthcare cyber incidents using a more proactive, risk management philosophy. We deeply understand the complex intricacies of the healthcare infrastructure and have created a breakthrough, multi-patented, technology platform and sophisticated information architecture that will revolutionize how to best protect patient’s protected healthcare information (PHI).  Powered by proprietary machine-learning algorithms, patented IoT sensing technology, and our Google Cloud DevOps infused private cloud, Tausight has reimagined how to enable healthcare CIOs and CISOs to make real-time decisions to protect PHI…much of which they can’t even see today.

As a full stack developer with emphasis on data engineering, you will work on a product that extracts data streams from hundreds of thousands of devices within complex healthcare provider environments, processes and analyzes these streams for useful insight, and then feeds this back to our clients via a web application. You will own major components of this stack and be responsible for their performance, scalability, reliability, and also for testing their resiliency before market entry. 

Tausight is an exciting place to be, at an exciting time, and the best time to join us is right now.

What You Will Do:

• Work with data analysts, machine learning engineers, and frontend engineers to design data models for a variety of applications
• Design, implement, test, and scale major components of our data processing pipeline
• Be proactive as a developer who builds testable, resilient software
• Effectively use tools and ingenuity to identify and fix defects

What You Need:

• BS in Computer Science or related technical field involving coding
• 4+ years working as a data engineer or in a similar capacity

• Experience with an object-oriented language such as Java or C++ 
• Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases
• An understanding of engineering tradeoffs, valuing pragmatism over idealism.
• An analytical approach coupled with strong communication skills
• Share the values of ownership, diversity of thought, and empathy for our users and coworkers

Nice to Have:
