Healthcare needs good data. At PicnicHealth, we are building deep real-world datasets fueling cutting-edge research while giving patients control of their own medical record data. These complete, clinically-rich datasets produce unique insights — across dozens of diseases — to ultimately get the right treatments into patients’ hands faster. We do this by working directly with patients and leveraging state of the art machine learning to transform messy medical records into structured, research-ready datasets. To date we’ve helped tens of thousands of patients securely access their records and proactively contribute to advancing research in diseases that impacts their lives.  

We’re excited to announce $60 million in funding in a Series C led by  B Capital Group. Our existing investors Felicis Ventures and Amplify Partners also joined the round, bringing the total we have raised to more than $100 million.

And we are just getting started! If you are looking to join an award winning, mission-driven, motivated team that is making a real impact across millions of people’s lives, PicnicHealth might just be the place for you.

The Opportunity

Data underpins all of PicnicHealth’s products and operations. PicnicHealth builds a number of applications that allow us to engage with patients, retrieve and label medical records, generate high quality datasets tailored to research partners, and do the analytics needed to make all of these pieces work together. In order to scale, large volumes of data must move quickly and reliably between data sources and the applications that consume it. The Data Infrastructure team’s goals focus on building the architecture, systems, and tools that make this possible. 

This is a growing team that sits at the core of PicnicHealth’s business and technical needs. As a team member, you’ll work closely with product engineers, data analysts, clinical researchers, and the teams responsible for delivering datasets to life sciences research partners. Your contributions will include designing the architecture of our data infrastructure, building those systems, implementing the data models that we use to capture clinical data, and ensuring that all systems are working smoothly. This team’s primary tech stack includes dbt, Python, Postgres, BigQuery, Airflow, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, ElasticSearch, Hasura GraphQL, Metabase. 

As a Software Engineer in the Data Infrastructure team, you will:

  • Build infrastructure to unify disparate data sources into an efficient, scalable data lake
  • Create and maintain data warehouses to support business operations and clinical research
  • Build data models and flows to support analysts modeling business processes
  • Implement systems that closely guard and control access to our most sensitive patient data
  • Work at many levels of the stack — Python services, database (PostgreSQL, BigQuery), infrastructure (GCP, Kubernetes), orchestration (Airflow) – to reliably serve data to users throughout the company

You are a great fit if you:

  • Have a BS in Computer Science, related field or relevant experience
  • Have 3+ years of hands-on data engineering experience
  • Write clear, concise, readable code
  • Have experience supporting dataset generation and analytics at scale in production
  • Have a user and security-first mindset to designing cloud systems
  • Have a desire to expand a world-class infrastructure team by helping attract, interview, and onboard your future team members during this exciting time of growth

We expect all team members to be motivated to be amazing in their roles and, ultimately, to move the PicnicHealth mission forward.
