Responsibilities

• Build and maintain ingestion pipelines and Python services running on AWS (Lambda, ECS)

• Mentor newer team members and review their work

Skills

• 2+ years working as a Data Engineer (or in a closely-related role: backend engineering with substantial data work, analytics engineering, etc.)
• Strong Python — you're a programmer, not just someone who can write SQL. You can write clear, testable Python and understand idiomatic patterns
• Advanced SQL — you've written non-trivial queries against a cloud warehouse, you understand window functions, joins, and how to write SQL that performs
• Conceptual understanding of CI/CD pipelines — you don't need to have built one yourself, but you understand what they do and why they matter
• Experience with a cloud data warehouse (Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, etc.); Snowflake preferred
• Comfortable in a cloud computing environment, ideally AWS
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or similar is preferred but not required
• Experience with dbt (we use it heavily)
• Experience with Airflow or another orchestration tool
• Experience with ETL tools (Fivetran, Rivery, Stitch, etc.) — we use Fivetran
• Familiarity with Terraform or other IaC (our DevOps team owns most of this, but exposure is useful)
• Domain experience in healthcare

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, effective day 1 of employment
• 401K with match
• Generous PTO plus paid holidays
• Paid parental leave
• Grow your career with us: hone your skills and build new ones with our Learning team as Talkiatry expands
