4d • $160,000 - $180,000 • Remote

About The Position

The Analytics Engineer role is ideal for an experienced analytics professional eager to put their healthcare domain knowledge and data modeling expertise to work in a highly collaborative and mission-driven environment. As an Analytics Engineer at Ursa Health, you’ll help develop and deliver impactful analytics solutions that accelerate clinical, operational and financial insights for our clients and fuel the evolution of our platform.
Your work will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between raw data and end-user analysis by extending the Ursa Core Data Model and enabling clients to act on data faster and with greater confidence. You will partner closely with Customer Success Managers, Data Engineers, Product Managers, and other cross-functional teams to define needs, scope solutions, and ensure client and product value is realized from every analytics engineering engagement. You'll also work alongside the team building our newest AI-assisted products, contributing the domain knowledge and data modeling judgment that makes those tools actually work.
The role sits at the intersection of client delivery and innovation. The best candidates bring the consulting instincts to meet clients where they are, and the engineering rigor to build solutions that outlast the engagement.
About You
You are an experienced analytics professional with a deep understanding of healthcare data.
You thrive in client-facing work, where the ability to listen, push back thoughtfully, and translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders is just as important as what you build.
You’re a problem-solver who enjoys shaping solutions from a “blank canvas,” applying a methodical and creative approach to analytics engineering challenges.
You believe in the value of reusable assets and want to contribute not just to client success, but to Ursa’s portfolio of solutions that can serve many clients.
You've worked with AI tools and have developed a clear-eyed sense of where they help and where they don't — especially in a domain where the cost of a wrong answer is high.
You want to be part of something mission-driven, and you're comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with a small, fast-moving team.
