Senior Manager, Analytics Engineering

Carrum Health•,

2h•$195,000 - $225,000•Remote

About The Position

At Carrum Health, we have built a unique marketplace for specialty care with unparalleled patient experience. Since 2014, we have been rewiring a fundamentally broken healthcare system. By connecting large employers directly with the nation's top-tier providers, our platform replaces a flawed fee-for-service model with one that actually works. We are seeking high-performing, exceptional talent to scale our platform and ensure that anyone in the country facing a specialty procedure has access to the life-changing Carrum benefit. Our marketplace creates massive value for employers by providing predictable, transparent pricing that slashes specialty care costs by up to 45% and eliminates waste. For providers, it offers the ability to gain market share while reducing administrative burden, empowering top-tier doctors to focus completely on delivering optimal care. For members, it's a life-changing benefit with dedicated concierges, VIP access to the nation's best specialists, and little-to-no out-of-pocket costs. We are looking for a Senior Manager, Analytics Engineering to help us turn the data that runs our business into a platform anyone at Carrum can trust and use. The Senior Manager will play a critical role in our success. Reporting to the Director of AI & Analytics Engineering, you will own our dbt data mart, the semantic layer on top of it, and the client-facing exports the business runs on. You'll be responsible for the standard of that work and the growth of the team producing it — and for the modeling, metadata and guardrails that let anyone at Carrum get a trustworthy answer without writing SQL.

Requirements

8-10 years in analytics engineering or a closely related data role, with 2+ years managing.
Advanced hands-on experience with dbt, with defensible opinions on project structure, testing, documentation and modularity, and a track record of building team practice around them.
Experience raising a team's bar through code review, process and clear expectations.
Experience owning an operational data surface where late or wrong data had consequences outside your team, and you built the monitoring and process that made it dependable.
Experience owning a BI tool like Hex as a product, thinking about semantic layer health and cross-team model standards, and considering how AI agents query data accurately without bypassing governance.
Deep experience with cloud data warehousing (Azure, Athena, Snowflake, Databricks, etc.) and cost minimization.
Comfortable with a startup's pace, proactively seeking out high-value problems before they're on anyone's roadmap rather than waiting to be told what to do.

Nice To Haves

Databricks and platform migration experience are a strong plus.
Knowledge of the healthcare tech industry and/or medical/pharmacy claims is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

Own data the business depends on: Take accountability for client exports, the dbt data mart, and the semantic layer above them, where reliability is a commercial outcome rather than a hygiene metric.
Lead and build the team: Coach and develop analytics engineers, shape how the team works, and hire as we grow.
Set the standard for the craft: Define what "done" means at Carrum — grain definitions, testing, freshness checks, documentation and ownership metadata — then review against it and hold the line.
Make reliability a discipline: Build the monitoring, testing and ownership model that lets the team catch issues before stakeholders do — and design systems that stay dependable as the team and the business scale.
Make AI self-service real: Treat Hex as a product, not a tool. Build the semantic layer, guardrails and PHI controls that let anyone at Carrum query the warehouse in natural language and trust the answer.
Modernize the stack: Support the Databricks migration to completion — setting direction and clearing obstacles without taking the design away from the engineer leading it.
Be the front door: Translate ambiguous requests from Finance, Client Success and Operations into scoped work, and push back when the ask isn't the real need.
