Job description

Headquartered downtown in the heart of the National Capital region, Privacy Analytics is a one-of-a-kind health data analytics company. Privacy Analytics is a world leader setting the bar of data de-identification, and we have translated this patented research into an amazing offering of products and services that enables researchers around the world to access and analyze healthcare data while ensuring that individuals’ identities are protected.

Even though our customers include 7 of the top 10 Fortune 500 healthcare organizations, we’ve remained loyal to the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit that drove the founding of the company and continues to permeate our office and culture.

Our Java‑and‑Scala‑based flagship product sits on the cutting‑edge of technology and is a scalable, distributed enterprise engine built on Apache Spark that processes terabytes of data to conduct both mathematical calculations and data transformations. The work we do spans the entire spectrum of enterprise feature development, data analytics at scale, UI design and development, statistical modelling, and algorithm design all the way down to low‑level algorithmic optimizations. We tackle technical problems that will engage and challenge the brightest minds, and we have very big ambitions ahead of us for which we’re expanding our team.
