Job description

Job Description: Cityblock is betting that agents, operating our systems safely and under real oversight, can meaningfully expand what our engineering and care teams can accomplish using AI. In this role, you will create scalable analytics platforms integrated with healthcare data, develop predictive models, and work with cross-functional teams to deliver actionable insights, real-time monitoring, and ensure compliance with regulations. You will:

Scalable Analytics Architecture & Transformations: Architect, build, and optimize enterprise-grade, high-performance analytical data models using dbt Core/Cloud and complex SQL. Structure modular data transformations to expose standardized clinical and operational datasets.

Big Data Processing & Distributed Computing: Develop and optimize scalable pipelines to process large volumes of multi-system, unstructured, and semi-structured healthcare datasets (e.g., EHR, Claims, FHIR, and HL7 feeds), significantly cutting compute times and warehouse/lakehouse spending.

Orchestration & Real-Time Alerting: Design, automate, and monitor production-grade DAGs using asset-centric orchestration frameworks like Dagster. Implement real-time data freshness checks, anomaly detection, and custom automated alerting systems to guarantee continuous pipeline health.

Cross-Functional Engineering & Data Governance: Collaborate closely with Data Engineering, Governance, and BI teams to ensure seamless ELT integration, establish DBT semantic models/metric definitions, and enforce data contracts to align engineering workflows with business and clinical analytics requirements.

HIPAA Compliance & Data Security: Enforce strict healthcare compliance regulations (HIPAA, HITECH) across all codebases. Implement row- and column-level security policies, dynamic data masking for PII/PHI in SQL, CI/CD code checks, and robust technical documentation to ensure 100% audit readiness.

Work Experience 6+ Years of Analytics & Data Engineering: Extensive experience in senior analytics engineering or data roles, demonstrating mastery in SQL, dbt, Python and workflow orchestration platforms (Dagster/Airflow) Healthcare Domain & Regulatory Expertise: Deep hands-on knowledge of healthcare data frameworks (FHIR, HL7, ICD-10, CPT, claims feeds), PHI protection standards under HIPAA, and experience operating governed analytics pipelines in cloud data environments (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, AWS EMR/Redshift, BigQuery).

Our mission is to improve the health of underserved communities. Importantly, our solutions are designed specifically for Medicaid and lower-income Medicare beneficiaries, and we meet our members where they are, bringing care into the home and neighborhoods through our community-based care teams and Virtual Care offerings. In close collaboration with community-based organizations, local providers, and leading health plans, we are reorganizing the health system to focus on what matters to our members. Equipped with world-class, custom care delivery technology, we deliver personalized primary care, behavioral health, and social services to deliver a radically better experience of care for every member and community we serve. Over the next year, we’ll grow quickly to bring better care to many more members and their communities. To do this, we need people who, like us, believe that everyone should have good care for what matters to them, in their community. Our work is grounded in a belief in the power of a diverse community. To close gaps in care and advance equity in the communities we serve, we have to start with making our own team diverse and inclusive. Our ways of working are characterized by creativity, collaboration, and mutual learning that comes from bringing together a community from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We strive to ensure that every person on the Cityblock team, and every Cityblock member, feels supported and included as a part of our community.
