Job description
Senior Full Stack/Data Engineer - Full-time remote in the US
About Alaffia & Our Mission
The U.S. healthcare system suffers from over $300B in improper payments each year due to fraud, waste, abuse, and processing errors. We’re on a mission to change that. We’ve assembled a team of experienced technologists and industry-leading healthcare domain experts to best prevent inaccurate payments. The Alaffia team has alumni ranging from Amazon, Goldman Sachs, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and other leading healthcare and financial institutions. We’re also backed by industry-leading venture capital firms!
If you want to make a major impact at the core of U.S. healthcare by implementing the latest in cutting-edge technologies, then we’d like to meet you.
Our Culture
At Alaffia, we fundamentally believe that the whole is more valuable than the sum of its individual parts. Further to that point, we believe a diverse team of individuals with various backgrounds, ideologies, and types of training generates the most value. Our people are entrepreneurial by nature, problem solvers, and passionate about what they do — both inside and outside the office. Our current team of engineers are highly cross-functional in their roles and empowered to work autonomously to build solutions.
About the Role & What You’ll Be Doing
Alaffia’s core value is derived from our health insurance payments data. Building pipelines and infrastructure for processing, validating and transforming this data is an integral part of our work, and we’re looking for a talented software engineer who loves designing and building data pipelines and related services that enable us to change the world of healthcare.
We’re looking for someone who relishes the challenges of complex system design, implementation, and optimization, particularly around data flows, and enjoys quickly iterating on new pipelines and services in a fast-paced development environment. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to build the centerpiece of a healthcare payments platform with real social and economic impact. You’ll be making a dent in the struggles of our nation’s healthcare payments system from your first day.

Reporting directly to our CTO, you’ll be:
Writing production-level code in languages such as Python for our data pipelines and adjacent services
Designing new services to extract value in a real-time data ingestion context
Architecting complex data pipelines using Apache Airflow and Kubernetes to enable human-in-the-loop machine learning models in production

Working closely with our backend and machine learning engineers to implement new APIs and services to power new in-app functionality
Collaborating with our Product team to enable frontend features empowered by a robust data pipeline
