Clarium - Staff Data Engineer
Requirements
• 8+ years of data or software engineering experience, including significant time owning systems end to end in production • Expert-level SQL: you write complex analytical queries as a matter of course and can read a query plan and explain why something is slow • Strong Python for production data work, including pipeline code, transformation logic, testing, and tooling • Deep experience with relational databases, including schema design, normalization tradeoffs, transactions, and performance tuning (Postgres and Snowflake strongly preferred) • Hands-on experience with data pipeline and orchestration tooling such as Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, dbt, Fivetran, Spark, or Kafka; we care more about depth and judgment than an exact stack match • Production experience running data workloads on AWS (e.g., S3, RDS, Lambda, ECS), with an understanding of the cost, security, and networking implications of how you build • A track record of leading multi-quarter, cross-team initiatives that depended on teams you don't manage, and comfort with the ambiguity of deciding what should be built • Experience with healthcare data (claims, EHR/EMR, HL7 or FHIR, ICD-10, CPT) or working under HIPAA with PHI, de-identification, and audit requirements • Familiarity with supply chain data from ERP systems such as Oracle, Workday, or Lawson, including where it tends to be unreliable • Infrastructure-as-code and deployment automation (Terraform, CDK, CI/CD for data infrastructure) • Streaming and event-driven architectures, or data quality and observability tooling • Need to Know: SQL · Python · Postgres · Snowflake · AWS (S3, RDS, Lambda, ECS) • Nice to Know: Terraform · Github Actions · EKS / Kubernetes · dbt · Prefect · Apache Kafka • What You Get at Clarium
Responsibilities
• Own the architecture and technical roadmap for core data infrastructure on AWS, spanning ingestion, transformation, storage, and serving layers • Design, build, and operate reliable batch and near-real-time pipelines with clear SLAs and the observability to back them up • Model supply chain data from external ERP systems into a coherent, reusable warehouse model, and lead the migration of legacy assets toward it • Tune performance and cost across Postgres and Snowflake, including query plans, indexing, partitioning, warehouse sizing, and storage strategy • Establish engineering standards for data work (testing, code review, CI/CD, data quality checks, documentation) and mentor engineers through design reviews, pairing, and honest technical feedback • Partner with analytics, product, and engineering teams to turn ambiguous questions into durable data models instead of ad hoc extracts • Lead governance for sensitive data, including lineage, access controls, retention, auditability, and de-identification where required • Incentive Stock Options proportionate to your salary • Fully remote, with a NYC co-working space available; distributed team across multiple time zones with opportunities for in-person time • Top-tier health, vision, and dental benefits
