Senior Data Engineer

New Yesterday

A bit about us: Advancements in AI and drug discovery are creating more candidate drugs than the industry can progress because of the high cost and time of clinical trials. Recognizing that this development bottleneck may ultimately limit the number of new medicines that can reach patients, this organization has built technology platforms, processes, and capabilities to accelerate all aspects of drug development and clinical trials. The organization partners, acquires, or in-licenses drugs from pharma companies, research organizations, and biotechs to develop programs past clinical proof of concept and beyond, ultimately helping to bring new medicines to patients. Why join us? You'll play a central role in shaping the company's data platform by contributing to ingestion frameworks, orchestration patterns (using Dagster or alternatives like Prefect or Airflow), and dbt-based modeling strategies. This is a high-impact role for an experienced engineer who loves building clean pipelines, understands metadata and observability, and enjoys making data discoverable and trustworthy for analytics, operations, and product use cases.
Competitive salary and total compensation ranges based on experience Work on site in NYC or Boston, or up to 100% from home anywhere in the US. Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage for individuals and families
