[Hiring] Senior/Staff Analytics Engineer @Carrum Health

Role Description

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. 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.

Qualifications

• 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.

Benefits

• Stock option plan and performance bonus for eligible employees
• Flexible schedules and remote work
• Chicago and San Francisco offices available as an option
• Flexible PTO, within reason
• Summer Fridays (sign off @ 1pm local time)
• 15+ paid holidays, including Juneteenth, World Mental Health Day, and Carrum Health Day
• Annual holiday shutdown in December
• Paid parental leave
• Health, vision, and dental insurance
• Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
• 401K retirement plan
