Who Are We?
Prolaio believes that continuous learning and collaboration can make a significant difference in how heart care is administered. We are creating smarter ways to address heart disease and heart risks by uniting patients, care teams, and researchers on a secure, technology-enabled platform that drives clinical innovation and offers a path towards better patient outcomes.
This is precision cardiology, and we know it’s within reach.
What Will You Do?
The Overview
As a Senior Data Engineer, you will design, build, and run that pipeline in a regulated environment. You will work closely with the data science/clinical teams, which owns the medical and research questions. You will also work with the Data Architect on platform standards, data models, and governance.
The Specifics
Build and Evolve the Data Platform (Prolaio Data Ecosystem)
Design, build, and maintain batch, streaming, and hybrid pipelines orchestrated with Dagster. These cover ingestion, validation, transformation, enrichment, and publishing of the data.
Develop and maintain dbt models in BigQuery, including staging, intermediate, and mart layers, with tests, documentation, and clear ownership.
Ingest and normalize heterogeneous sources (both structured and unstructured data), including cardiology wearables and device signals, EHR, claims, medication, and patient-reported data.
Make well-reasoned decisions about storage, compute, partitioning, cost, and APIs, and contribute to the target-state architecture and the reference patterns.
Data Quality, Lineage, and Compliance
Contribute to data lifecycle controls into pipelines: retention, access control, lineage, provenance, reproducibility, and auditability.
Use Dagster assets and dbt lineage to keep data traceable from source to output.
Support validated operation in a regulated setting by documenting pipelines, keeping traceability, and working with Quality and Security teams.
Back every pipeline change with thorough automated tests and data quality checks.
Enable Data Science and ML
Treat data scientists as your customers, and give them the tools and processes to experiment and iterate efficiently.
Contribute to the ML workflows that support feature generation, training, deployment, and monitoring.
Contribute to internal applications and Python libraries
Operate and Monitor
Own CI/CD for the data platform using GitLab CI, including dbt and Dagster deployments.
Help monitoring pipeline health, performance, and BigQuery cost with Datadog, and take part in incident response.
Help mentoring other engineers and setting engineering standards for the data team.
