About J2 Health:

At J2 Health, we know that healthcare is complicated and falls short of what consumers deserve. J2 wants to change that by focusing on transforming a critical and underserved part of the healthcare ecosystem– provider networks. As individuals, it’s difficult to find the right doctor that meets our medical and personal needs, at affordable costs. Doing their best with unreliable data and disjointed manual processes, healthcare organizations struggle with this too as they decide which doctors should be included in-network on our health insurance plans.

J2 Health brings together best-in-class data and purpose-built software to enable healthcare organizations to optimize provider network performance. We use our technology and data-driven insights to power healthcare’s best networks and deliver the highest value care to patients. We’re a team of industry insiders, data experts, and technologists, backed by leading VCs like Tiger Global and Primary Ventures. Having successfully found product-market fit, we are scaling our solution that is already delivering measurable value to healthcare providers. We are looking for like-minded team members who are not afraid to get their hands dirty and are interested in building a mission-driven healthcare company where data is the key to unlocking better outcomes.

  • Design, build and maintain efficient and reliable data pipelines and ELT processes
  • Optimize existing pipelines for enhanced performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness
  • Ensure data observability, quality, and integrity throughout the pipeline
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to understand and meet data requirements

You Have:

  • Experience with building and maintaining data pipelines (ex: using tools like dbt)
  • Experience with workflow orchestration tools (ex: Apache Airflow, Dagster)
  • Familiarity with GIS tools and technologies is a plus
  • Strong programming skills in Python with a deep understanding of great engineering practices
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team

Working Here:

  • NYC based role located in Financial District (in-person work expected 3 days per week)
  • Competitive compensation, stock options, and health insurance
  • Commuter Benefits
