About The Role
As our Staff Data Engineer, you will own and evolve the foundational data systems that power NexHealth’s analytics and unlock the next generation of customer-facing insights. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role that combines architectural influence with deep execution. We need to expand our data capabilities for scale and improve our daily operations and enable self-service. You will drive the transformation of our data infrastructure.
You will design data pipelines, refactor the warehouse architecture, and lay down the modeling foundations that enable trusted analytics across the company. This work directly supports our mission to become the API for healthcare. With access to a rich and growing corpus of medical data, you will help NexHealth become a leader in data strategy, intelligence, and customer enablement.
This role is ideal for a Staff-level engineer who has seen and built great data platforms, is not afraid of legacy, and thrives in environments where the vision is clear, the systems are evolving, and the company is depending on data to unlock its next stage of growth.

- Partner with software engineers to anticipate and manage upstream schema changes and database shifts
- Define and enforce clear data contracts and interface boundaries

What You’ll Bring
- 7+ years of experience in data engineering or software engineering with a focus on building scalable, well-tested systems
- Advanced fluency in SQL and Python with strong instincts around modular modeling, optimization, and abstraction
- Experience building on top of a modern managed data warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift

Our Values
- Solve the customer’s problems, not yours
When making decisions, think from the perspective of the customer. It’s easy to make decisions that make our lives simpler, but not the customers. - Do the things others are not willing to do
As a Nexer, always go after the hardest problems. Pursue things at the highest quality. Move at the fastest pace. - Take ownership
Act like a founder. Own your roles, destinies, mistakes, behavior, and our mission. The buck stops with each of us - no blaming or excuses. - Say what’s on your mind, with positive intent
Be direct, proactive, transparent, and frequent in your communication. - Default trust
As a Nexer, you do not have to earn trust, trust is given to you by default. If we by default trust each other, our speed of communication, feedback, information sharing, and overall improvements will be a lot faster. - Think in first principles
We first identify the problem and then break it down to its fundamentals before diving into solutions. We constantly ask “why” to validate our assumptions.
We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
