Data Engineer
As a Data Engineer at Regard, you will help build and maintain the data pipelines and infrastructure that turn raw data into the metrics and insights that drive our product decisions and research. We run an engineering-first stack that prioritizes transparent, code-driven systems over black-box services, and you will contribute to the continued growth and reliability of our data platform.
Working closely with Engineering and Product teams, you'll develop and improve data pipelines, support analytics initiatives, and help ensure the quality and availability of critical datasets. You'll have the opportunity to work across the full data stack while growing your expertise in distributed data processing, data modeling, and platform operations.
About Regard
Our mission is to bring world-class healthcare to everyone. Regard is an AI-powered Proactive Documentation platform that advances how care is delivered by reviewing all patient data in the EHR to recommend diagnoses and surface clinical evidence. Regard drafts a note even before the physician sees the patient, enabling an approach that gets documentation right at the point of care - we call it Proactive Documentation. This improves quality of care, reduces physician burden, and improves hospital finances. We are excited by challenges, mission-oriented work, and meaningful relationships. We work closely with some of the top health systems in the country and are leading the change that healthcare - one of the largest and most inefficient industries in the world - needs. We want you to join us.
