The Role
We are seeking a hands-on Senior Data Engineer (Data Pipelines) to own the flow, transformation, and quality of data within Gather Health’s next-generation data platform. You’ll design and maintain all batch and streaming pipelines using Dagster and dbt, transforming raw data into high-quality, analytics-ready assets.

- Ensure Data Quality: Implement robust data validation and testing frameworks in dbt and Dagster to guarantee data integrity.
- Integrate Data Sources: Collaborate with the Infrastructure Engineer to onboard and maintain source data (AthenaOne, HubSpot, CCIQ, Telephony).
- Define Data Contracts: Establish and maintain schema stability between ingestion and transformation layers.
- Collaborate Across Teams: Work with the Lead Engineer and stakeholders (Clinical, Ops, Product) to deliver trustworthy, actionable data.
Preferred Experience & Qualifications
- 5–8+ years of hands-on experience in data engineering with a modern cloud warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift).
- Expert-level proficiency in SQL and Python.
- Deep experience with dbt (modeling, testing, deployment).
- Deep experience with a modern orchestration tool (Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect preferred). Experience with asset-centric pipelines is a strong plus.

- Strong understanding of data quality and testing frameworks.
Why Join Gather Health
