Data Engineer

Tennr develops proprietary models that handle complex healthcare paperwork, helping patients receive care and providers get paid. The Data Engineer will own the data engineering function, build scalable pipelines into Snowflake, lead healthcare data integrations, manage data security and governance, and develop systems for analytics and AI-enabled insights.

Responsibilities

• Own the data engineering function end-to-end: build and maintain production pipelines from Tennr's application into Snowflake, ensuring reliability and performance at scale
• Lead EHR discovery and integration initiatives across ~5–10 healthcare systems. Understand what data is available, what integrations we have, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and build creative solutions to extract and ingest data into Snowflake
• Own Snowflake as our strategic data platform: architect instance setup, implement security best practices and governance, manage vendor relationships, and ensure zero data exposure
• Design and implement data models that transform raw data into usable assets. Surface and safely share that data across Tennr so internal teams can build their own analytics and tooling
• Implement comprehensive monitoring and alerting to detect pipeline issues quickly and resolve them with minimal business impact
• Explore innovative approaches to structure and extract insights from unstructured referral documentation, including potential AI-enabled models to unlock value from clinical text data
