As a Staff Software Engineer - Data Infrastructure , you will build technology that saves lives. At Aledade we use data to save lives. This opportunity is to improve millions of people's mental and physical health, that's what we do here at Aledade. We empower primary care physicians to use technology to keep their patients healthy, by preventing unnecessary hospitalizations.
At Aledade, you will sit at the intersection of:
A huge problem; amounting to trillions of dollars of waste in U.S. Healthcare spending.
An approach that moves the needle; In the U.S., we wait until someone has a stroke, then are hospitalized. From there, no expense is spared. Using technology, Aledade changes that by enabling doctors to intervene with the proper preventive care, like blood pressure control, before it becomes a stroke.
A platform that works at scale; last year 11,000 physicians across 36 states served ~1.7M patients, saving 24,000 unnecessary hospitalizations and 120,000 visits to the emergency room using Aledade’s technology.
But the journey is only 1% done, come join us to build a world-class team that will not quit till it addresses the trillions of dollars of suffering in U.S. healthcare spending.
As a Staff Software Engineer , you will take us beyond traditional monolithic SQL engines and batch pipelines. You will build the next generation of distributed data storage and processing systems. You will build systems that can scale indefinitely and surpass traditional query performance while making the interfaces for that data simple, expressive, and cleanly abstracted. Your interfaces will support a broad array of data consumers, from our web application to business analytics and artificial intelligence.

  • Re-design systems to meet the growing data and query needs.
  • Develop automated build, test, and release infrastructures.
  • Set and uphold the standard for engineering processes to support high-quality engineering, including style and code checking, test harnesses, and release packaging.
  • Balance speed and scalability, dealing with millions of records per client and pesky data integration and data quality issues, while optimizing for time to market.
  • Maintain the security of protected patient health information.
  • As the engineering team grows, you will lift the people around you:
  • Mentoring and galvanizing new engineers to do their best work.
  • Working across disciplines to shape a product strategy and execution.

Qualifications:

  • BS/BTech (or higher) in Computer Science or a related field required
  • 5+ years of production-level experience as an engineer building highly scalable and reliable infrastructure

  • Experience with security and systems that handle sensitive data
  • 3+ years of experience working with SQL or other database querying languages on large multi-table data sets.
  • 3+ years of experience acting as a trusted technical decision-maker in a team setting, solving for short-term and long-term business value
  • Bonus
  • Working knowledge of health-tech systems, like Electronic Health Records, Clinical data, etc.
