Role Overview
Connie Health is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to architect, build, and scale the data platform that powers our analytics, operations, and AI-driven products. This role sits at the core of our data ecosystem and is responsible for designing reliable, performant, and secure data pipelines that integrate information from our CRM, third-party partners, and internal systems into a unified, analytics-ready platform.

Beyond building, you will partner closely with Analytics, Sales, Operations, Finance, Product, and Engineering to ensure that high-quality, trustworthy data is available for decision-making, experimentation, and financial reporting. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable with low-level pipeline implementation and high-level system design, and enjoys solving complex data infrastructure problems at scale.

- Collaborate with Product and Engineering to instrument new features and ensure event data is accurate, complete, and analysis-ready.
- Ensure data security, access controls, and compliance with HIPAA and other regulatory requirements for handling sensitive healthcare data.
