Position Summary

We're looking for an experienced, solution-focused Analytics Engineer to support our data insights and analytics efforts. If you like designing and building scalable data solutions while collaborating with other great engineers in a test-driven environment, please read on!

This engineer would help us evolve and manage our semantic layer for internal BI, support our self-service BI environment (Looker) for internal stakeholders, contribute to our data warehouse ETL processes (DBT) to integrate various internal and external data sources, enable and streamline reporting needs, explore ways to enhance data quality and reliability, and support expansion of our data systems and pipeline capabilities. There will be a lot of close collaboration with internal stakeholders, as well as with our Data Science, Data Engineering, Software Engineering and DevOps teams as we continue to evolve and integrate our AI program into our patient-centered experience.

The ideal candidate is someone who can reason through the interactions of a distributed system and deliver solutions that emphasize simplicity, reliability and supportability

Why is this a great opportunity for an Analytics Engineer?

• The problem domain and our approach to solving it is super compelling. We're bringing together data sources that have never been joined, building models of a GI patient that have never been built, and discovering new GI health insights that help real people to manage and support their real medical conditions

• It's still early enough that there’s a lot of decisions and new discoveries to be made, so this is your chance to get in early and help shape our future

Other things about our environment you should be aware of:

• We're still a small company, which means that everyone still wears a lot of hats and we need engineers who are comfortable with ambiguity and working across a wide variety of challenges. That said, our existing engineering team has built an extremely efficient working environment based on best-in-class hosted SaaS frameworks that greatly minimize the overhead in deploying and supporting software in production

• We're all really passionate about improving clinical outcomes for our members and truly advancing the GI health space. Most of us also have personal (direct/family/friend) connections to GI health problems. Whatever it is that fuels you, we're on a mission to build something much larger than ourselves here and looking for another partner in driving that mission forward

Responsibilities Include:

• Partner with stakeholders in data science, sales, marketing, and product to develop automated reporting and dashboarding tools

• Partner with product stakeholders on ideation, feedback and refinement of solutions that meet our business needs

• Develop, improve and maintain automated data workflows around ETL, data preparation, quality, and monitoring as needed to streamline analysis and reporting

• Leverage data controls to maintain data privacy, security, compliance, and quality for allocated areas of ownership

• Develop the kind of software and pipelines that you’d want to inherit from another developer (documentation, test coverage, logging, metrics, etc.) 

• Collaborate with the rest of your engineering team on design, planning and code reviews

• Keep learning

You'll be a good fit here if you are:

• A team player. You like collaborating closely with other engineers, often through pair programming, design & code reviews

• Empathetic to our members’ GI health conditions and are driven to improve their outcomes

• Security oriented. We take the stewardship of our customer's healthcare data seriously, and take no shortcuts to protect it

• Comfortable with a distributed workforce. We interact with each other via video chat, Slack and PR comments

• A self motivated, creative problem solver

• At least partially obsessed with automating everything 

Desired Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science, Statistics or a related field, or equivalent experience

• 3+ years of demonstrated experience building and supporting data pipelines, enabling BI analytics, SaaS solutions or other related technologies

• Proficiency with SQL, Python and some form of ELT/ETL solutions

• Experience building automated reporting and dashboards for end-users

• Outstanding communication and interpersonal abilities with colleagues, business partners, and vendors alike

• Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) frameworks, including, BigQuery, Looker, IAM (fundamentals), Pub/Sub, Dataflow, Cloud Composer, DLP, or any others

• Bonus:

  • Experience with medical, healthcare and/or population health data

  • Experience working in a HIPAA regulated environment (or other regulated industry) and supporting data security and privacy controls

  • Experience analyzing and optimizing system performance

Cylinder Health is an equal opportunity employer.
We believe safe spaces where everyone can be their authentic selves is the key to a successful team so we welcome and embrace all identities, cultures, and backgrounds.

Compensation Range: $140K - $150K
