Staff Data Engineer

The Role:

As a key technical leader and team architect working in a fast-paced environment, you will drive the design, development, and optimization of scalable data ingestion pipelines within the Arine platform. Leveraging expert-level proficiency in Python and AWS, you will architect solutions that handle diverse file types and large-scale healthcare datasets. You will have a direct impact on building reusable, configurable tools for handling data needs for the entire company.

A key part of this role is leading the team’s transformation toward AI-driven software development - shifting engineers from being primary builders of code to skilled directors and reviewers of AI-generated work.

What You'll be Doing:

• Act as the team architect by leading system design reviews, offering recommendations, conducting comprehensive peer reviews, and demonstrating expert-level proficiency in Python and AWS services
• Architecting and implementing scalable data ingestion pipelines, including incremental ingestion strategies for large-scale healthcare datasets
• Developing reusable, configuration-driven, containerized pipeline components and toolsets that diverse engineering profiles can use and maintain
• Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to ensure their data requirements are met through ETL components
• Designing and maintaining data transformation pipelines using dbt, including utilizing core concepts like macros, incremental models and dbt tests
• Building monitoring and alerting systems for data ingestion processes and pipeline health
• Applying software engineering best practices including test-driven development and modular design to data infrastructure, including refactoring existing ingestion processes to improve scalability and operational efficiency
• Provide technical guidance, mentorship to junior engineers, and promote best practices and coding standards
• Champion AI-assisted development across the team - establishing norms, workflows, and expectations for using AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) to generate, iterate, and ship production-quality code
• Model the “builder to reviewer” shift - demonstrating how senior engineers direct AI agents to produce full solutions, then apply rigorous review, testing, and judgment to own the output
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive engineering work using LLMs and AI tooling, including pipeline scaffolding, boilerplate generation, data transformation logic, and documentation
• Author and support high-quality technical documentation, assisting junior engineers in doing the same

Who You Are and What You Bring:

Remote Work Requirements:

• An established private work area that ensures information privacy
• A stable high-speed internet connection for remote work
• This role is remote, but you will be required to come to on-site meetings multiple times per year. This may be in the interview process, onboarding, and team meetings

Perks:

Joining Arine offers you a dynamic role and the opportunity to contribute to the company's growth and shape its future. You'll have unparalleled learning and growth prospects, collaborating closely with experienced Clinicians, Engineers, Software Architects, and Digital Health Entrepreneurs.
