Thanks to our unique, methodical approach,we'reable to make sense of data in a way nobody else in the industryis able to– generating analytics that are trusted enough to change how care is delivered.

We'renot talking about fancy black-box models or AI agents, although we do that too. Simply the work of taking healthcare data in its messy, raw format and turning it into results that accurately describe what isactually happeningto patients; very few organizations can do this well. And, because of that, we serve as the core data and analytics engine for many of the most innovative companies in healthcare.

We'regrowing our team and are looking for engineers who can straddle this line between a software company and a consultancy.It'sin our DNA that the people building our software products should also be on the front line of client-facing work.It'sa hybrid role, andyou'llhave to be comfortable billing hourly on idiosyncratic client deliverables. Butyou'llalso be channeling that work back into our software products, including our longstanding Ursa Studio and our newer AI-assisted tools like Compass and Sentinel.

Ursa Health is fully remote.We'vebeen fully remote since our founding and have a strong remote-only culture. Hours are flexible.You'llbe able – and indeed expected – to turn off Slack for hours at a timein order to get into a flow to solve the most difficult problems.

We'reexcited to meet candidates who are already authorized to work in the U.S., as we are currently unable to provide visa sponsorship.

About the Role

The Analytics Engineer role is ideal for an experienced analytics professional eager to put their healthcare domain knowledge and data modeling expertise to work in a highly collaborative and mission-driven environment. As an Analytics Engineer at Ursa Health, you’ll help develop and deliver impactful analytics solutions that accelerate clinical, operational and financial insights for our clients and fuel the evolution of our platform.

Your work will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between raw data and end-user analysis by extending the Ursa Core Data Model and enabling clients to act on data faster and with greater confidence. You will partner closely with Customer Success Managers, Data Engineers, Product Managers, and other cross-functional teams to define needs, scope solutions, and ensure client and product value is realized from every analytics engineering engagement. You'll also work alongside the team building our newest AI-assisted products, contributing the domain knowledge and data modeling judgment that makes those tools actually work.

The role sits at the intersection of client delivery and innovation. The best candidates bring the consulting instincts to meet clients where they are, and the engineering rigor to build solutions that outlast the engagement.

About You

• You are an experienced analytics professional with a deep understanding of healthcare data.

• You thrive in client-facing work, where the ability to listen, push back thoughtfully, and translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders is just as important as what you build.

• You’re a problem-solver who enjoys shaping solutions from a “blank canvas,” applying a methodical and creative approach to analytics engineering challenges.

• You believe in the value of reusable assets and want to contribute not just to client success, but to Ursa’s portfolio of solutions that can serve many clients.

• You've worked with AI tools and have developed a clear-eyed sense of where they help and where they don't — especially in a domain where the cost of a wrong answer is high.

• You want to be part of something mission-driven, and you're comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with a small, fast-moving team.

• Consult and train clients: Provide hands-off-keyboard expertise in analytics engineering using Ursa Studio, including technical scoping, advisory consulting, and training on best-practice analytics workflows using Ursa’s platform. Effectively balance being responsive to client requests with building better solutions based on our experience and expertise.

• Contribute to Ursa product/cross-client solutions: Build scalable, high-impact data models and analytics components that enhance Ursa's SaaS platform and marketplace, making powerful analytic tools accessible to all clients.

• Thoughtfully work with AI-assisted tooling : Leverage AI tools (including internally developed Ursa Compass) and capabilities to accelerate and improve our delivery approach, appropriately apply the domain knowledge and human intelligence to ensure sound output.
