Job description

About CareMessage

CareMessage is a social enterprise and the largest patient engagement platform for low-income populations in the United States. We deliver personalized health education and care coordination through text messaging — reaching patients where they already are, in the language they speak, at the moments that matter most. Unlike technology built for large health systems and adapted down, CareMessage is designed from the ground up for organizations serving low-income, historically marginalized communities.

Why Join Us in Leveraging Technology to Improve Health Equity

Many of us have had the experience of doing good work or building great products, but wondering if it is truly making an impact. At CareMessage, our mission is clear: improve health equity for low-income populations across the United States. Every role here connects directly to that purpose. We care deeply about the communities we serve, and we also hold a high standard for performance, collaboration, and integrity.

Our ideal team members:

• Deliver meaningful, measurable results
• Invest in their teammates and build trust
• Seek feedback and continually grow
• Stay steady and solutions-oriented in ambiguity
• Lead with integrity and responsibility
• Communicate with clarity and empathy

About the Role

At CareMessage, data is how we know whether our work is making a difference for people from low-income populations. Every appointment reminder, A1c recall and health education program we run generates insightful data. Teams across our organization as well as our customers use the insights generated by this data to make impactful decisions on how to care for patients. As our Senior Data Platform Engineer, you will unblock and enable every team that relies on that data, removing the barriers between our data and the people who use it to advance health equity. You will own the Google Cloud infrastructure our data runs on, so pipelines are reliable, patient information is protected by default, and good ideas become trusted, production-ready work.

You will be the primary owner of our data platform and a core member of our Data team, working alongside our Data Scientist and Data Analyst and partnering closely with our Infrastructure team, who own CareMessage's wider Google Cloud environment, and our Clinical Integrations engineers, who bring in clinical data from our customers' electronic health records. Our data platform runs on Google Cloud: BigQuery, Datastream change data capture, Cloud Run functions and jobs, and a bronze, silver and gold layered warehouse with dbt on top. We are moving all of it into Terraform and CI/CD. This role owns this work within our established architecture and company objectives, building the foundation that lets everyone at CareMessage us
