As a Senior Data Engineer at Regard, you will own the design, development, and production deployment of the data services that power the Regard platform. From ingesting and standardizing clinical data across health systems to making it reliably available for downstream product and analytics workflows, you'll build and evolve the infrastructure that enables the platform. This includes analyzing and tuning Spark workloads and partitioning strategies to control costs, adapting to upstream breaking changes, and enforcing rigorous data quality standards so our analytics are as dependable as our application code. We prioritize transparent, code-driven systems over black-box services, and you'll help architect the data platform that supports that philosophy.

About Regard

Regard's mission is to bring world-class healthcare to everyone. Our technology reasons through a patient's entire medical record to recommend diagnoses that would otherwise be missed, in real time at the point of care, during chart review, and in population-wide screening to identify patients who qualify for lifesaving treatment.

We work alongside some of the top health systems in the country to lead the change this industry needs. We're excited by challenges, mission-oriented work, and meaningful relationships. We want you to join us.

• Partner closely with product to deliver analytics and actionable insights to internal and external stakeholders
• Own the reliability and day-to-day operation of the data platform and its pipelines through proactive monitoring, alerting, and operational management

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of experience in data engineering roles
• 3+ years of experience using PySpark to build data pipelines
• 3+ years of experience in public cloud provider technologies (AWS tooling such as S3, EMR, or Athena)
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL
• Hands-on experience across the full data stack, with particular depth in data modeling and pipeline design
• Practical experience with LLM-assisted development, with an understanding of its capabilities and limitations
• Willingness to participate in on-call operational support for owned systems

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with one or more of the following technologies: Apache Iceberg, Dagster, Clickhouse, PostgreSQL, FastAPI, Metabase
• Experience working with healthcare data, including HIPAA compliance, data de-identification, and familiarity with open data standards such as OMOP CDM
• Experience building and supporting data pipelines for production workflows, including validation, deployment, and ongoing performance evaluation
