Data Engineer

At Arbital Health, we are transforming the US healthcare system by accelerating the shift from fee-for-service agreements to value-based care agreements. We do this by building a neutral, third-party platform that allows our customers to design, measure, and adjudicate value-based care agreements that maximize resources and help patients get the care they need to thrive. We are looking for highly talented and highly motivated individuals. You will be a roll-up-your-sleeves builder eager to innovate and collaborate to change healthcare.

Across all roles, we look for people who embody our values of impact, innovation, collaboration, velocity, and transparency.

We’ve built the initial production data pipelines that ingest, enrich, aggregate, and summarize healthcare financial data so it can be easily visualized in our web app by our customers. In addition to sophisticated financial calculations, this code matches patients against a benchmark population so that our clients can understand how their patients are doing in comparison to similar individuals. We're looking for an ambitious data scientist or data engineer to help us enhance and scale this core part of our platform.
