You'll need a sense for what consumers need to know prior to making a decision, where that data comes from, and how frequently it changes. * Strong data-schema and data-modeling judgment. You've evolved schemas that survived contact with reality, and you have opinions about what not to add. Fluent in Postgres/SQL. * Instinct for how data fits into a product - you reason from who consumes the data backward to what and how to supply it. * Real experience running data operations with a human-in-the-loop or annotation component, including directing distributed specialists to a quality bar. * You've owned KPIs for data accuracy and freshness - and can walk us through how you moved them. * Quality-systems and taxonomy thinking; you write the SOP, you don't just follow it. * Comfortable working across product, engineering, and external partners. * Comfortable moving fast with limited scaffolding. Nice-to-Haves: * AI- / LLM-assisted curation workflows. * HL7, FHIR, or other health-data interoperability standards. * Experience building or maintaining a services dataset or provider directory ## Description * Expect a short paid work sample. We'll share some real-world examples of what we're working to solve for. * Reports to the VP of Product. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Steward and evolve the services data schema & taxonomy. It's poised to expand and change. You'll provide input about what to add, what to shift, and what these changes costs us to source and maintain - with judgment about how the data actually gets consumed downstream. * Own and iterate the curation pipeline. Sourcing, screening, and tagging. Make it better, faster, and (with the help of our engineering team) more automated. * Direct a small bench of data specialists. Set the quality bar, write the SOPs, and oversee the team to build out a substantial batch of services. * Work at the nexus of design, product, engineering, and service partners. You'll liaise with multiple departments to identify the highest-value fields, refine candidacy review processes, and collaborate on how data is presented to users in the platform. * Advise on internal tooling. You'll be the sharpest user of our admin, ingestion, dedup, and QA workflows - work with our team to identify the most impactful improvements we can make. * Document the playbook. Transferable and clear - good enough that whoever inherits this doesn't have to reverse-engineer your thinking. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Optimizing Discovery: PostgreSQL's Role in Transforming GetYourGuide's Search](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1647-optimizing-discovery-postgresql-s-role-in-transforming-getyourguide-s-search) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1520-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) ## Related Articles - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story)
