Healthcare Data Engineer - Ingest, Parse & Integrate

Worky; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 220,000; Full time

Job summary

Recourse is building an intelligent system to transform healthcare data from 835/837 files and EOBs into trusted, structured records. You will own how data enters Recourse and stays trustworthy, including ingestion pipelines, OCR-driven extraction, and robust validation across diverse payer formats.

You will design data models and build integrations with customer systems while ensuring correctness and determinism.

Qualifications

• 4+ years building data pipelines, integrations, or backend systems in production.
• Strong SQL and data modeling instincts.
• Experience with messy real-world data: parsing, extraction, validation, reconciliation.
• Comfort with TypeScript or Python. The specific stack matters less than the ability to pick things up.
• Hands-on experience using LLMs for structured extraction from unstructured sources.
• Experience building in regulated or security-sensitive environments (HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI, financial controls) is a plus.
• A preference for small teams and early-stage chaos over mature org charts.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain data ingestion pipelines for 835/837 files across customer formats.
• Own document parsing: OCR on scanned EOBs, LLM-assisted extraction, and reliability guarantees.
• Build integrations with customer systems, SFTP endpoints, clearinghouses, and eligibility services.
• Design the data model that downstream systems depend on.
• Build validation and reconciliation layer to catch bad data before it reaches a claim.
• Address the challenge of 'same document, two different answers' to ensure reliability.
• Collaborate with operations to understand real-world data beyond the spec.
