Data Scientist

Metriport • San Francisco, CA

13d • Hybrid

About The Position

Metriport is an open-source data intelligence platform that helps healthcare organizations access and exchange patient data in real-time. We integrate with all major US healthcare IT systems and tap into comprehensive medical data for 300+ million individuals.
We've found product-market fit with multi-million ARR, 100+ customers (including Amazon, Color, and Strive Health), backing from top VCs, and years of runway. We're ready to scale. We're a tight-knit, high-performing team of mostly former founders (including two YC alumni). We're engineering-heavy, operate with minimal bureaucracy and high autonomy, and hire based on competence, not prestige. We push hard—founders work six days a week from our SF office—but give everyone freedom to craft their schedule. We measure output and we're committed to sustainable intensity.
In a nutshell, we're looking for an analytics powerhouse who acts like a product owner. You aren't just a "dashboard builder"; you are the architect of our data ecosystem and the value we derive from it:
You’re entrepreneurial-minded, with an olympian-level work ethic.
You are obsessed with data integrity. If a metric is off by 1%, it keeps you up at night until you find the root cause.
You believe that high-quality clinical data is the bedrock of excellent healthcare, and you’re excited to map complex patient records into structured, efficient warehouses for downstream use.
You have a strong sense of ownership and the ability to lead cross-functional initiatives without hand-holding.
You care more about the insights and the "so what?" than just the technical complexity of the query.
When someone asks for a report by next week, you ask yourself "how can I build a self-service tool that answers this permanently by tomorrow?"
You’re a hacker at heart, and you’re comfortable writing code to get the job done.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in a high-growth data science or data analytics role.
• Mastery of SQL: You can write complex, performant queries in your sleep.
• Tooling Expertise: Deep experience with product analytics tools (like Posthog, Mixpanel, or Amplitude) and BI platforms.
• Coding Proficiency: You are comfortable in Python (pandas/scikit-learn) or TypeScript for data manipulation and automation.
• Data Modeling: Experience with dbt or similar tools to transform raw warehouse data into clean, documented schemas.
• Location: You’re located in San Francisco or the Bay Area (or willing to relocate).

Nice To Haves

• Healthcare Plus: Experience with FHIR, HL7, or clinical data is a massive plus. Understanding how a patient moves through the healthcare system is the core of what we do.

Responsibilities

• Owning data quality and analytic integrity within the product-engineering space: Ensuring that every chart, report, and insight we share—internally or externally—is 100% accurate and trustworthy.
• Owning the Analytics Stack: You will be the primary owner of our analytics tooling (e.g., Posthog) and ensure these systems are correctly implemented, optimized and accessible.
• Productizing Analytics: Designing and shipping analytic suites as core features of the Metriport platform, allowing customers to understand their patient population from our UI or their data warehouse.
• Applying AI/ML models to our data warehouse to predict patient outcomes or identify gaps in care.
• Writing Python or TypeScript to automate data enrichment or build custom internal tools.
• Using LLMs or the like to help normalize messy clinical data into structured, searchable insights.
• Participating in a daily 30 minute remote stand-up at 7:30am PST Mon-Fri (our only regular mandatory meeting).

Benefits

• Competitive equity + compensation package 🚀
• Full family Platinum health insurance, dental, and vision coverage 🦷
• 401(k) retirement plan + matching 💰
• Flexible work from home or in-office 🏢
• Healthy lunches are complimentary when working in-office (and breakfast + dinners as needed) 🍏
• Quarterly company off-sites with the team ⛷️
• MacBook provided by us 💻
• Unlimited PTO (we work hard, but trust you to take time you need to be at your best) 🧘‍♂️
