CodaMetrix’s autonomous coding drives efficiency under fee-for-service and value-based care models and supports improved patient care. We are passionate about getting physicians and healthcare providers away from the keyboard and back to clinical care.\nOverview\nThe Senior Data Engineer is a member of the Data Platform team, reporting to the Director of Machine Learning Engineering and Data. The Data Platform team is responsible for executing the data strategy for the organization, ensuring high-quality external data is ingested into the Lakehouse and realized in powerful insights for internal and external customers, while ensuring ML/AI, BI and customer success teams have the data they need to develop and train their models, build insightful dashboards and design semantic layer.\nResponsibilities\nTechnical strategy and roadmap - Contribute to the vision, architecture, and roadmap for the CodaMetrix data platform, ensuring scalability, reliability, regulatory alignment, and operational excellence. Participate in key technology decisions, disaster recovery design, architecture reviews, and data engineering standards across teams.\n\nPlatform Engineering at Scale - Design, build, and maintain scalable streaming and batch data platforms Databricks using PySpark, Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, and Structured Streaming. Own Terraform-based infrastructure across environments, including jobs, catalogs, schemas, permissions, compute policies, volumes, and external locations. Build Jenkins CI/CD workflows for automated testing, tagging, and deployments, while optimizing training pipelines, materialized views, retention policies, and production performance.\n\nData Governance & Security - Implement and evolve least-privilege access controls across Databricks using Unity Catalog grants, YAML-driven group policies, and schema-level restrictions. Ensure HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance through PHI masking, audit logging, environment-level data segmentation, user provisioning, compute policies, and cost attribution.\n\nCost Optimization & Operational Excellence - Drive platform cost reduction through compute policy tuning, serverless optimization, reserved pools, materialized view improvements, and remediation of underutilized resources. Monitor Databricks/AWS spend (using tools like CloudZero and AWS Cost Explorer), own cost attribution and budgeting, resolve production incidents, and maintain runbooks to ensure platform SLAs for uptime and performance.\n\nCross-Functional Enablement & Mentorship - Enable ML, BI, Analytics, DevOps, and customer success and implementation teams with training data pipelines, model-ready datasets, feature store architecture, optimized views, dashboards, Tableau refreshes, infrastructure changes, and tenant onboarding. Mentor engineers through code and design reviews, establish quality standards, and serve as a subject matter expert for data platform engineering across the organization.\n\nRequirements\nMust-Haves\nA degree in Computer Science or a related field (Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D.), or an equivalent combination of education and demonstrable professional experience\n\n3-5+ years of data engineering experience with progressive responsibility\n\n3-5+ years hands-on experience with the Databricks platform (Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Structured Streaming, Spark SQL, cluster management, platform administration)\n\nExpert proficiency in PySpark and Python; working knowledge of Scala\n\nExpert experience with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code (state management, modular structures, multi-environment deployments, YAML-driven configuration)\n\nExpert experience with Apache Kafka / AWS MSK (streaming ingestion, SASL/IAM auth, topic management, cluster migrations)\n\nDeep understanding of medallion/lakehouse architecture patterns (bronze/silver/gold, SCD2, materialized views, slowly changing dimensions)\n\nProven track record building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) for data platform deployments\n\nExpert SQL skills - complex CTEs, window functions, performance optimization of large-scale queries across petabyte-scale datasets\n\nStrong AWS experience (S3, IAM, Secrets Manager, VPC/Private Link, cross-region replication)\n\nDemonstrated ability to operate in a HIPAA-regulated environment with PHI handling requirements\n\nExperience with disaster recovery architecture - cross-region replication, failover procedures, read-only replicas\n\nExperience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini, Codex) and agentic workflows to augment design, development, and testing processes.\n\nHuge Plus: Prior experience working with healthcare data, such as medical claims, electronic health records (EHR), or billing code systems (ICD-10, CPT). Familiarity with healthcare data standards like HL7 or FHIR is highly desirable.\n\nWhat CodaMetrix can offer you:\nLearn more about our full-time employee benefits and how we take care of our team.\nHealth Insurance: We cover 80% of the cost of medical and dental insurance and offer vision insurance\n\nRetirement: We offer a 401(k) plan that eligible employees can contribute to one month after their first day\n\nFlexibility: We have a generous Paid Time Off policy, which is managed but not limited, so you can take the time you need to relax and rejuvenate\n\nDevelopment: We provide annual performance evaluations and prioritize working with employees on what their individual growth looks like\n\nRecognition: We recognize the outstanding achievements of our team through annual company awards where employees have the opportunity to nominate their peers\n\nOffice Location: A modern open plan workspace located in the bustling Back Bay neighborhood of Boston\n\nAdditional Employer Paid Benefits: We offer employer-paid life insurance and short-term and long-term disability insurance\n\nBackground Check Notice\nAll candidates will be required to complete a background check upon acceptance of a job offer.\nEqual Employment Opportunity\nOur company, as well as our products, are made better because we embrace diverse skills, perspectives, and ideas.
