From the original posting
About the role:
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.
What you'll do:
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!
What we're looking for:
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 have:
Proficiency in Python, SQL, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred).
Prior experience working in a regulated environment (e.g., healthcare, finance).
Perks & Benefits at Camber:
Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision plans with nationwide coverage, including 24/7 virtual urgent care.
