Senior/Staff Analytics Engineer

At Carrum Health, we have built a unique marketplace for specialty care with unparalleled patient experience

Since 2014, we have been rewiring a fundamentally broken healthcare system. By connecting large employers directly with the nation's top-tier providers, our platform replaces a flawed fee-for-service model with one that actually works. If you are passionate about solving complex economic problems, driving systemic change in our healthcare system, and thriving in a people-first culture, we want you on our team. As a high-growth health tech company, we are seeking high-performing, exceptional talent to scale our platform and ensure that anyone in the country facing a specialty procedure has access to the life-changing Carrum benefit. 

Our marketplace creates massive value for all stakeholders:

• For Employers (Demand): Predictable, transparent pricing that slashes specialty care costs by up to 45% and eliminates waste

• For Providers (Supply): Ability to gain market share while reducing administrative burden, empowering top-tier doctors to focus completely on delivering optimal care.

• For Members (Users): A life-changing benefit with dedicated concierges, VIP access to the nation's best specialists, and little-to-no out-of-pocket costs.

The salary range for this role is $160,000 - $230,000 depending on geography and level of experience, plus equity and an annual bonus.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will...

• Shape our data architecture: Design and evolve high-scale dbt models and architecture standards that turn raw data into trusted, well-documented data products across the company.

• Build agent-safe infrastructure: Put guardrails, grain definitions, and metadata in place so AI tools and agents can query our data accurately without bypassing governance.

• Power self-service in Hex: Build natural-language-driven, self-service analytics experiences in Hex that let anyone at Carrum ask questions of our data directly, without needing to write SQL.

• Eliminate friction: Solve recurring pain points—ambiguous metrics, silent pipeline failures, undetected data drift— with reusable frameworks and shared patterns.

• Raise the bar on quality: Define what “done” looks like for a data product, building testing, freshness checks, and metadata ownership into how we ship.

• Partner across the org: Work closely with Data Engineering, Data Scientists, and business stakeholders to align on use cases and shorten the path from question to trusted answer.

• Influence the roadmap: Contribute to roadmap and goal-setting as a decision-maker, communicating tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike.

• You have deep analytics engineering roots: 7+ years in analytics engineering or a closely related data role, with a track record of owning architecture, delivery, and long-term maintenance end-to-end.

• You're fluent in SQL and Python: You write SQL that's performant at scale and structured for readability, and you use Python to build reusable tooling, automation, and testing frameworks.

• You've mastered dbt: You have advanced experience with dbt, including building team practices around testing, documentation, and modularity.

• You think in systems, not just queries: You've made data architecture decisions with lasting structural impact, and you can explain the tradeoffs to engineers and business stakeholders in the same conversation.

• You elevate the people around you: You've enabled others through mentorship, code review, process, or tooling—not because you have to, but because you want the team to level up.

• You've worked at scale in the cloud: You have deep experience with cloud data warehousing (AWS Athena, Snowflake, Databricks, etc.) and cost minimization strategies. Databricks experience is a huge plus, as is experience leading platform migrations.

• You care about the semantic layer: You've owned BI tools like Hex as a product, thinking about semantic layer health and cross-team data model standards, not just dashboard enablement.

• You thrive in ambiguity: You're comfortable with a startup's pace, proactively seeking out high-value problems before they're on anyone's roadmap rather than waiting to be told what to do.

• Bonus: you know healthcare: Knowledge of the healthcare tech industry and/or medical/pharmacy claims is a strong plus.

Why you’ll love working with us...

• We’re a hard-working, humble, and compassionate group motivated to solve the hard problems in healthcare today. You’ll work with talented, experienced co-workers from companies like Booz & Company, Teladoc, Hinge Health, Accolade, Angi, and Optum. 

• We champion a collaborative environment where team members can be autonomous, receive support and healthy feedback, and bring their authentic selves to work.

• We carve out time to celebrate our successes and have fun. We’re a remote-first company with employees all over the United States. We offer holistic employee support with flexible working hours, generous time off, paid parental leave, opportunities to connect virtually and in-person, and more.

• We embrace our team’s diversity of thought, experience, and interests and know that doing so makes us stronger as a company. Carrum has an active employee-led Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) committee alongside several employee resource groups (ERGs) that support parents, women, and various underrepresented groups. 

• You’ll feel proud that the work you do each day directly impacts people’s lives in big and meaningful ways.

• Carrum is remote-first, but we believe the best work often happens in person. This role may include occasional travel for team offsites, client events, or company gatherings.
