Senior Data Engineer

Senior Data Engineer

Fullscript powers care for 125,000+ healthcare practitioners and 10M+ patients by making clinical insights, treatment workflows, and longitudinal data accessible and actionable across the platform.

As the Senior Data Engineer, you'll be part of a small team that turns messy practitioner and clinical data into reliable, analysis-ready assets that enable causal outcome modeling, lab normalization, and strategic patient and prescribing insights.

This role requires healthcare-specific data experience and a practical comfort with semi-structured sources that are common in clinical environments, not just general-purpose data engineering.

What you'll do

• Ingest and normalize heterogeneous healthcare data sources including clinical records, lab results, intake forms, and semi-structured artifacts
• Build robust, reproducible ELT pipelines in a cloud data stack to generate clean, longitudinal patient-level datasets
• Apply OCR and NLP techniques to extract structured signals from unstructured clinical documents
• Implement data quality frameworks, testing, version control, and CI/CD for all ingestion and transformation workflows
• Collaborate with data science and product partners to ensure data models support causal inference and predictive analysis needs
• Optimize pipeline performance and scalability in cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake or comparable technologies
• Produce clear documentation and operational runbooks that enable internal consumers to trust and act on healthcare datasets

What you bring to the table

• 5+ years in Data Engineering, preferably in healthcare, health tech, or regulated domains
• Deep SQL skills and Python experience applied to data extraction, transformation, and validation
• Experience with dbt or similar transformation tooling and workflow orchestration (Airflow, Argo, etc.)
• Proven ability to handle semi-structured and unstructured data common in clinical workflows
• Hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) and scalable pipeline architectures
• Strong data modeling skills, especially for longitudinal patient, event, and lab data structures
• Clear communicator comfortable explaining technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Bonus if you have

• Familiarity with healthcare standards like FHIR, HL7, or clinical interoperability frameworks
• Practical experience with OCR/NLP libraries for document parsing in a data pipeline
• Exposure to predictive analytics or ML model feature engineering in clinical contexts
• Exposure to building data assets that support causal inference or observational research
• Previous mentorship or leadership experience within data engineering teams

What we can offer you

• Salary range: $110,000 to $140,000 CAD
• Flexible PTO and competitive pay, because work-life balance matters
• RRSP/401k match and stock options to invest in your future
• Premium benefits package with customizable coverage, paramedical services, and an HSA.
• Fullscript discounts to save on high-quality wellness products
• Continuous learning opportunities to grow your skills and career
• Remote-first flexibility to work where you work best, with Ottawa, Toronto, or Calgary preferred for this role.
