You’ll work closely with our cofounders and cross-functional teams to design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and infrastructure that help connect and optimize pipelines from advertisers to drive marketing spend decisions.

• Create clean, modular data models that serve analytics, product insights, and machine learning use cases.
• Partner with engineers, clinicians, analysts, and product managers to make sure our data infrastructure supports real-world health outcomes.
• Ensure our systems are secure and designed with the highest standards of data integrity.
• Mentor others, advocate for modern tooling and best practices, and help scale a culture of data excellence.
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• 8+ years of experience as a Data Engineer.
• An analytical business mindset with a deep understanding of how to export and structure data for self-serve analytics, reporting, and experimentation.
• Proven experience designing data models and ETL/ELT pipelines at scale.
• Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with tools like DBT for transformation, Apache Airflow for automating distribution, and Looker Tableau (or similar BI tools) for analytics.
• A solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS).
• Nice to have:
• Familiarity with modern data workflows and BI tools such as Lightdash.
• Experience in healthcare, telehealth, or digital health.
• Experience with advertiser pipelines to drive marketing spend decisions.
  

Why work at Phoenix?

• Rewarding Mission. We're delivering the best healthcare experience to Canadians across the country
