Position Summary

Our data team is entering a once\-in\-a\-career moment. AI is reshaping how healthcare organizations consume data. The repetitive “pull\-a\-report, answer\-a\-question” work that used to consume analyst teams is being handled increasingly well by AI. That frees the humans on our team to do the work that moves the needle: building the trustworthy data foundation that the AI, the clinicians, and the executives all depend on.

The Data Engineers will sit at the heart of this transformation. The engineer is the business\-intelligence and data\-hygiene engine of the team — understanding the business and make sure analytics flow cleanly from source all the way to the AI that answers the question; not a back\-room pipeline specialists. They build the pipes, they build the models, and they make sure that every answer the AI gives rests on correct, rigorous, auditable data.

This hybrid position is based in Bellevue, WA, with in\-office collaboration Monday through Thursday. Our office is in a great Bellevue location, a 10\-minute walk from the new light rail stop.

A once\-in\-a\-career AI moment — Most data engineers today are specialists. This role is for someone who wants to own both pipelines and modeling, because the next generation of data teams will not have the luxury of deep specialization. AI has collapsed the distance between raw data and a stakeholder\-ready answer. The engineers who thrive will be the ones who can think end\-to\-end, care about the business, and hold the semantic layer up as the source of truth the AI depends on.

Requirements:

Key Responsibilities

Ingestion \& Integration

• Build and maintain batch and streaming pipelines that move PGHI protected data, data, device telemetry, billing, growth and operational data into our cloud warehouse.
• Own orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect) and warehouse\-loading layers with production\-grade reliability.
• Partner on HIPAA\-aligned data handling: encryption, access controls, audit trails, PHI segregation.

Data Modeling \& the Semantic Layer

• Shape raw data into clean, documented dbt models: staging, marts, tests, and lineage.
• Define canonical metrics — adherence, monitoring minutes, alert response time, deterioration risk signals — in partnership with clinical and operations stakeholders.
• Own the semantic layer (dbt Semantic Layer, Cube, MetricFlow, or similar) that grounds both traditional analytics and AI\-driven queries.

Data Quality \& Contracts

• Ship test coverage, anomaly detection, and data contracts with upstream systems.
• Document models, metric lineage, and validation logic thoroughly — your docs are the substrate the AI uses to answer questions accurately.
• Own reliability: monitoring, alerting, incident response, and backfills.

AI Grounding

• Partner directly with our Applied AI function to ensure every LLM answer is anchored in your data models and canonical metrics.
• Evaluate AI query outputs against ground\-truth metrics and help close the loop when the model gets things wrong.
• Help shape how the data team itself uses AI tooling (Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) in day\-to\-day work.

Partnership

• Work closely with others on the data team, care, product, operations, growth and leadership stakeholders to define what the data needs to say.

### Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• 4\+ years building production data pipelines and/or modeling data in dbt.
• Strong Python and SQL.
• Production experience with a modern cloud warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Databricks).
• Hands\-on dbt and dimensional or semantic\-layer data modeling experience.
• A track record of owning reliability — not just shipping features, but keeping data flowing cleanly over time.
• Daily production use of Claude or comparable LLM assistants — effective prompting, output verification, and agent chaining.
• Clear written and verbal communication with both technical and non\-technical partners.
• Comfort handling PHI in a HIPAA\-aligned environment.

Preferred Experience

• Healthcare data experience: HL7, FHIR, claims, EHR extracts, or device telemetry.
• Exposure to LLM\-driven analytics patterns — text\-to\-SQL, RAG over metrics, or metric grounding for AI.
• Streaming experience: Kafka, Kinesis, or Pub/Sub — for real\-time vitals and alerts.
• Infrastructure\-as\-code fluency (Terraform or equivalent).
• MCP servers, agentic workflows, or LLM automations.
• Experience shipping alongside data scientists or ML engineers.
• Early\-stage or high\-growth startup background.

What You Bring

• Bias toward automation over toil.
• Skeptical rigor with AI output — trust through verification.
• Curiosity about the healthcare operations beneath the data.
• End\-to\-end ownership instinct: ingestion, modeling, quality, and the AI layer that sits on top.
