Staff Software Engineer

Vivian Health is a remote-first company at the forefront of transforming the healthcare staffing landscape. The Software Engineering team is the backbone of our platform, driving innovation and building scalable, reliable systems that support our mission. This team works on a wide range of challenges, from streamlining data ingestion and improving platform performance to enhancing user experience and developing new features.

About the role: 

We are looking for an experienced and driven Staff Software Engineer with a passion for data ingestion and a talent for untangling complex data and code challenges. This role will focus on managing and improving the ingestion of hundreds of our client job feeds, addressing issues as they arise, and building scalable solutions to streamline and enhance our platform. The ideal candidate will have a robust engineering background with an expert grasp of Python and SQL.

What you’ll do: 

• Oversee the ingestion of hundreds of client data feeds, monitoring for inconsistencies and managing data flow to ensure accuracy, completeness, and quality
• Debug and resolve complex, “messy” issues across both data feeds and code, maintaining stability and consistency in data ingestion processes
• Develop and refine solutions to handle data complexities, allowing for efficient management and processing of incoming feeds
• Collaborate with product, data engineering, and operations teams to identify bottlenecks in the current process, propose and implement improvements
• Build and maintain robust documentation on ingestion workflows and debugging procedures, enhancing knowledge sharing and operational efficiency
• Collaborate with and mentor team members, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous improvement in data ingestion and debugging practices

What we’re looking for:

• 10+ years of engineering experience, with a proven track record in managing complex data ingestion pipelines and debugging data/code issues
• Expert-level proficiency in Python and SQL, with demonstrated experience in data processing, transformations, and troubleshooting
• Significant experience with messy data feeds: able to process, clean, and normalize data from diverse sources
• Strong debugging skills, particularly in handling unpredictable data sources and developing long-term solutions for platform stability
• Familiarity with cloud-based data services (e.g., AWS, GCP), ETL frameworks, and data pipeline tools
• Understanding of modern software engineering practices including CI/CD, version control (Git), and test-driven development
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to think critically and creatively to solve complex data challenges

What we provide: 

The range for this position is $180,000 – $200,000 yearly salary plus equity, dependent on job-related, non-discriminatory factors such as experience, education, and skills. This range is based on a full-time schedule. Unfortunately, we are not able to support any visa sponsorship or transfer at this time.

At Vivian Health, we offer a competitive compensation package, with benefits including:

• Flexible Time Off
• Comprehensive Health Insurance Plans, including HSA and FSA Options
• 401K Retirement Savings Plan with Ample Employer Match
• Generous Parental Leave
• Work-from-home stipend
