Job summary

Function Health is building the most comprehensive picture of human health, and as Staff Data Architect you will own the semantic layer powering dashboards, self-serve analytics, and AI-driven data agents. You’ll design clean models, govern metrics, and enable reliable AI queries across the platform.

You’ll collaborate with data scientists, product engineers, and business leaders to ensure accurate, scalable data solutions that support rapid decision making in a fully remote US-wide team.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of analytics engineering, data engineering, or data architecture experience.
• Deep SQL expertise and strong Python skills.
• Strong data modeling fundamentals — you know what clean, extensible, well-documented models look like and can build and enforce that standard regardless of tooling. Experience with dbt is a plus.
• Experience with modern data stack tools: Databricks, Snowflake or BigQuery, Airflow or similar orchestration, Looker/Tableau or equivalent BI tools.
• Track record of building resilient, monitored, production-grade data systems — not just pipelines that work, but ones that stay working.
• Strong communicator who can make technical tradeoffs legible to non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Own the semantic layer: Design and maintain the metrics, dimensions, and data models that serve as the single source of truth across the business — built to be queried by humans and AI alike.
• Architect for AI-readiness: Structure our Databricks and GCP-based data platform so it can reliably power AI-driven analytics agents — clean schemas in Unity Catalog, consistent naming conventions, and strong data contracts.
• Drive data quality end-to-end: Build observability, testing, and alerting into pipelines so we catch problems before stakeholders do.
• Enable self-serve analytics: Partner with product, clinical, and business teams to deliver tooling and dashboards that let them answer their own questions without filing tickets.
• Set the standard: Establish and enforce data modeling conventions, documentation practices, and code review norms across the data org.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Translate ambiguous business questions into data solutions; work with product engineering to improve event logging and measurement coverage.
