Data Engineer

H1 Insights

At H1 we are creating a healthier future by delivering a platform that connects stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem for greater collaboration and discovery.

About the Data Engineering Team

The Data Engineering team is building a suite of data, products, services, and other tools to help solve healthcare and life science space problems. This includes the classification of researchers and physicians to their scholarly research, simulating how effective drug compounds will be, and much more.

H1 is growing fast, and we are expanding to more countries and offering an expanded catalog of web applications and data-oriented services, so we're looking for people who want to grow fast too.  We think an environment that is supportive, collaborative, and sophisticated is the key to making this happen.

The Role

As a Data Engineer, you will pull, clean, augment and master data coming from a variety of public and private sources.  This goes way beyond simple ETL - we’re preparing data sets that will be used to power machine learning algorithms, not just pulling data out of a database to display in a graph.  You will be working with stakeholders across the company to ensure that the Data Engineering team’s services improve the visibility, reliability, consistency, and availability of our data, development, and production infrastructures.

You

You are an experienced data engineer that is comfortable scaling software for complex data transformations. This data is product-facing, robustly engineered with testing coverage, and written cleanly and extensively. You're responsible for developing and delivering these innovative, flexible, and scalable solutions, and driving the automation and adoption of data engineering processes on the cloud. You’ll work within a Spark/Scala environment from notebooks to mature pipelines., as we’re code-centric, not tool-centric. As a  data engineer, you’re equally comfortable writing code to normalize names or pulling together disparate notebook functions into a reusable class architecture. You’ll build out data pipelines, schedulers, CI, and docker images on top of AWS infrastructure. Additionally, cloud functions, networking, writing IaC task definitions for ECS, or a variety of engineering tasks might be on the table at any given time. Being uncomfortable in the unknown is a familiar place for you. You’ve built up something from scratch and documentation -- and that motivates you.
