About NexHealth

NexHealth’s mission is to accelerate innovation in healthcare. Fixing healthcare is the challenge of our generation. This industry is stuck in the 1990s while affordability and accessibility are spiraling out of control. We currently spend ~20% of GDP on healthcare, while the 25% of the world's data is stuck on legacy and antiquated health systems. NexHealth’s goal is to create an open and modern ecosystem to accelerate innovation in the space. We make it easier for everybody to build in healthcare, and ultimately empower ordinary people with access to more modern, efficient and affordable healthcare solutions.

  • 7+ years of experience in data science, analytics engineering, or equivalent quantitative roles within SaaS or technology companies.
  
  
  • 3+ years building or maintaining financial data systems using Snowflake, dbt, and a BI tool such as Sigma, Looker, or Tableau.
  
  
  • Demonstrated experience modeling SaaS metrics (ARR, churn, CAC payback, retention, LTV) using SQL and a programming language such as Python or R.
  
  
  • Experience designing and automating data pipelines using APIs from Stripe, Chargebee, Salesforce, or similar platforms.
  
  
  • Hands-on experience implementing data quality testing, CI/CD, and version control practices for analytics.
  
  
  • Proven ability to translate quantitative insights into actionable recommendations for executive or product leadership.
  
  
  • Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
  
  
  • A builder mindset: excited by blank slates, scaling impact through automation, and simplifying complexity through systems.
