Senior Data Engineer

As a Senior Data Engineer at Regard, you will own the design, development, and production deployment of the data services that power the Regard platform. From ingesting and standardizing clinical data across health systems to making it reliably available for downstream product and analytics workflows, you'll build and evolve the infrastructure that enables the platform. This includes analyzing and tuning Spark workloads and partitioning strategies to control costs, adapting to upstream breaking changes, and enforcing rigorous data quality standards so our analytics are as dependable as our application code. We prioritize transparent, code-driven systems over black-box services, and you'll help architect the data platform that supports that philosophy.

About Regard

Regard's mission is to bring world-class healthcare to everyone. Our technology reasons through a patient's entire medical record to recommend diagnoses that would otherwise be missed, in real time at the point of care, during chart review, and in population-wide screening to identify patients who qualify for lifesaving treatment.

We work alongside some of the top health systems in the country to lead the change this industry needs. We're excited by challenges, mission-oriented work, and meaningful relationships. We want you to join us.
