Senior/ Staff Data Engineer

Senior/ Staff Data Engineer

Sprinter Health is rethinking how healthcare gets delivered—bringing high-quality, preventive care directly into patients' homes using smart logistics, real-time clinical ops, and deeply integrated technology.

Since launching in 2021, we've:

• Served 50,000+ patients
• Grown 6x in 2024 (and 5x the year before)
• Covered 60%+ of the U.S. population
• Partnered with 6 of the top 10 largest U.S. health plans
• Raised $70M+ from a16z, General Catalyst, GV, and Accel

Now we're building out the core infrastructure that powers all of this—and data is right at the center.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to lead and shape Sprinter's new Clinical Data Platform team. This is a ground-floor opportunity to build the systems that unify our clinical, operational, and logistics data—and make them usable across everything from AI to analytics to care coordination. If you're excited to architect systems that directly impact millions of patients—while wrangling gnarly healthcare data formats into something elegant—this is your role.

What You'll Work On

• Uncover care gaps and predict patient risk through structured longitudinal data
• Generate pre-visit clinical summaries via LLMs grounded in patient history
• Standardize engagement + visit data across diverse EHR and claims formats
• Catch anomalies and errors in inbound medical data using automated validation
• Build a robust data warehouse from the ground up—supporting ML, reporting, and downstream systems

You'll own key technical decisions and help build a small, senior team around you.

What We're Looking For

Engineering & Data Systems

• 5+ years of Data Analytics, Data Science or Data Engineering experience
• Strong experience with Python or TypeScript
• Deep understanding of scalable data systems, ETL/ELT pipelines, and observability best practices
• Hands-on with BigQuery, Airflow, DBT, or AWS Glue
• Familiarity with varied database types (relational, document, columnar, key-value, vector, etc.)

Healthcare Data (bonus, but not required)

• Claims data processing
• Clinical data formats: FHIR, HL7, C-CDA, or EHR integrations
• Tools like Mirth Connect or similar for data exchange

Leadership & Collaboration

• Experience leading technical projects and shipping high-impact systems
• Comfortable breaking down work and guiding teammates
• Bonus: people management experience or interest in growing a team

Tech Stack

• ETL/ELT: Airflow, AWS Glue
• Data stores: BigQuery, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch, custom warehouses
• Languages: Python, TypeScript, SQL
• Integration: Mirth Connect, custom FHIR/HL7 tooling

The Perks (aka The Fun Stuff™)

• Free lunch every day + fully stocked kitchen + espresso bar
• 100% of family premiums covered for health, dental, vision
• 401(k) matching
• Unlimited PTO + hybrid work (3 days/week in-office)
• 4 months fully paid parental leave (2 months for partners)
• Relocation assistance available
• Team offsites, game nights, and design sprints

$180,000 - $230,000 a year

This is a hybrid role with a 3-day-a-week in-office requirement in Menlo Park, California. While we are flexible with occasional work from home, we've built an incredible group of people who enjoy the team environment we've created, and our engineering, product, and design organizations are all currently co-located in the Bay Area.
