We are redefining how individuals understand, measure, and improve their health by moving beyond the limitations of traditional care and enabling comprehensive, continuous insight into human biology. Function has been recognized as one ofFast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024, and is venture-backed by Redpoint and other leading venture firms. Over half a million members have joined Function to take control of their health.\nThrough comprehensive lab testing, MRI and CT imaging, longitudinal data, and guidance from AI and clinical teams, Function gives members a complete and continuous view of their health - and the clarity to act on it. Through acquisitions across imaging, mobile phlebotomy, and supplement tracking and optimization, Function is building an integrated health platform that spans the full path from testing to health clarity to daily action.\nFunction recently announced a $298M Series B and is entering its next chapter of growth. As we scale, the quality and durability of our People systems, data, and insights will directly shape our ability to attract, retain, and support exceptional talent.\nWe are growing our team and seeking out world-class talent that deeply believes in our mission to positively impact global health, has a relentless bias toward action, and a growth mindset. Function fosters a collaborative and dynamic environment where every day we build the future.\nRole\nAt Function, the person who best understands a piece of data is rarely the person who can safely change it. A data scientist knows exactly how a biomarker should be derived. A clinician knows which reference range is wrong. Today, both have to file a ticket and wait for an engineer.\nWe think that's a platform failure, not a process problem. Our job is to build the paved road that lets the subject matter expert make the change themselves - and lets an agent make it too - without anyone lying awake wondering about the validity or stability of what just shipped.\nThat means the guardrails have to be real: declarative contracts instead of hand-rolled code, CI that diffs the dataand not just the diff, validations that gate promotion, lineage that tells you who's downstream, and a rollback that takes one command. Get that right and both your humans and your agents get faster at the same time, for the same reason.\nThat's the work. It's platform engineering, and the users are engineers.\nKey Responsibilities\nThree surfaces, all with the same goal - make the safe path the fast path:\nTracking infrastructure. The event pipeline behind product analytics, experimentation, and feature gates. Schemas that are enforced at the source, so a bad event never becomes a bad metric.\nData processing infrastructure. The Bronze → Silver → Gold layer in Databricks. Automated schema evolution, contract tests, backfills that aren't scary, freshness and volume monitors generated from the contract rather than bolted on after.\nML infrastructure. Feature computation and serving, training and eval pipelines, and the plumbing that gets model output back into the product - with the same testing and observability bar as everything else.\nCutting across all three. The self-service story. Templates, local dev and preview environments, policy-as-code for PHI, ownership routing for alerts, and progressive gates so an exploratory model ships freely while a member-facing one earns more scrutiny.\nQualifications/Skills\nBuilt internal platform or infrastructure that other engineers actually adopted. You've felt the difference between shipping a tool and getting it used.\nOperated production data or ML systems, on call for them, and fixed them under pressure.\nStrong Python and SQL. Comfortable in a lakehouse - we use Databricks; Snowflake or BigQuery translates fine.\nDesigned interfaces and schemas that other teams depend on, then evolved them without breaking those teams.\nThought hard about testing and CI for data or ML, where correctness is statistical and the failure is often silent.\n1-4 years of engineering experience gets you here, but we care about what you've built, not the number.\nNice-to-Have Skills and Experiences\nWhile the core competencies are essential, the following qualifications will distinguish exceptional candidates:\nDeclarative pipeline frameworks (dbt, DLT, Dagster, Airflow)\nStreaming (Kafka, Spark Structured Streaming) \nData contracts, data diffing, or lineage tooling \nTerraform \nFeature stores \nMLOps and eval tooling \nAgentic coding workflows \nHealthcare\nPHI, or HIPAA experience\nTo be a strong fit, you embody our Core Values\nRuthless Prioritization:We don’t let perfect get in the way of progress.\nWe move quickly to drive value, not perfection.\nWe prioritize what drives impact.\nWe never compromise on standards of excellence.\n\nMember-First, Always:We design and deliver like we’re caring for someone we love.\nWe create calendar, actionable, human experience.\nWe prioritize responsiveness, peace of mind, and outcomes.\nWe empower members with truth, clarity, and care.\n\nOne Team, Moving Fast:We are aligned in purpose, prioritization, and speed.\nWe gather diverse perspectives to make informed decisions.\nWe clear paths for each other and move fast together.\nWe communicate clearly and respectfully, rallying around shared goals.\n\nRadical Ownership, Relentless Execution:We don’t just ship- we own outcomes and drive results.\nWe act with urgency and precision\nWe anticipate, initiate, and follow through.\nWe meet challenges with grit and pragmatism.\nWe embrace new tech to deliver better outcomes.\n\nMission Over Ego:We are ruthlessly aligned to our mission - and leave ego at the door.\nWe disagree and commit.\nWe don't tolerate politics or withholding information.\nWe operate with honesty, transparency, and respect.\n\nSustained Integrity in Every Detail:We earn trust by obsessing over accuracy, quality, and clarity in everything we do.\nWe prioritize clinical precision - data must be right.\nWe sweat the details because outcomes depend on them.\n\nWhy You'll Love Working With Us\nWe value our team at Function and offer a competitive salary and benefits package, flexible working hours, and a dynamic work environment where creativity and innovation are encouraged. If you are a highly motivated and experienced individual who is passionate about using technology to improve people’s lives, we would love to hear from you.\nAt Function, we celebrate diversity and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender identity, ancestry, religion, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, marital status, Veteran status, or any other occupationally irrelevant criteria.\nJoin the Function Health team and become a part of our mission to build a healthier future for all.
