Senior Data Engineer
About The Position
At Camber, we’re building systems that actually work for clinicians—because healthcare deserves better software. As a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll be hands-on with the backbone of that system: the infrastructure and pipelines that keep everything flowing smoothly, scalably, and reliably. This role isn’t just about writing great code (though that’s part of it). It’s about helping us make smart decisions as we scale, both technically and strategically. You’ll partner closely with other engineers, analysts, and product teams to build data systems we can trust, evolve, and understand. You’ll also be a mentor and be a thought partner as we grow the team.
Requirements
- Experience: 6+ years of experience in data engineering or adjacent backend roles
- Relevant background: Proven success building and scaling data pipelines, platform, and infrastructure
- Technical expertise: Deep knowledge of AWS and open-source data tools (e.g. Spark, Iceberg, Kafka, dbt, etc.)
- Comfortable balancing speed and quality: You know when to build a prototype and when to build for scale
- Excellent communication: You can drive communication and prioritization with other internal teams to determine their data tooling needs.
- Technical mentorship: You can help set the vision, explain technical decisions clearly, and bring others along.
Nice To Haves
- Proficiency in Python, SQL, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred).
- Prior experience working in a regulated environment (e.g., healthcare, finance).
Responsibilities
- Design and build a platform that is reliable, observable, and scalable.
- Drive the strategy behind our data architecture and tooling.
- Collaborate across the company with product, reporting, and platform teams to deliver the right data at the right time.
- Level up the organization by mentoring other engineers, establishing best practices, and contributing to a high-trust culture.
- Deliver incremental improvements, especially when things feel ambiguous or messy
- Stay adaptable and flexible. We’re a startup, and that means things change fast!
Benefits
- Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision plans with nationwide coverage, including 24/7 virtual urgent care.
- Mental Health Support: Weekly therapy reimbursement up to $100, so you can prioritize the care that works best for you.
- Paid Parental Leave: Up to 12 weeks of fully paid time off for new parents (birth, adoption, or foster care).
- Financial Wellness: 401K (traditional & Roth), HSA & FSA options, and monthly commuter benefits for NYC employees.
- Time Off That Counts: 18 PTO days per year (plus rollover), plus office closures for holidays, monthly team events, company off-sites, and daily, in-office lunches for our team.
- Fitness Stipend: $100/month to use on fitness however you choose.
- Hybrid Flexibility: In NYC? We work in the office 3–5x/week, with flexibility when life happens. Fridays are remote-friendly.
