You'll ship real pipeline code that moves billions of rows a month and powers the analytics, machine learning, and decisions behind our patient advocacy marketplace. You'll have mentorship from senior and staff engineers and ownership of your work from design through deployment. You don't need years of experience, but you do need an innate ability to get things done. This role is for the ambitious, the curious, and those who don't shy away from feedback. If you're the kind of person who sees a problem and can't resist solving it, keep reading. This is an in person role in our Redwood City office, 3 days a week., * A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience), graduating between December 2026 and June 2027. * Solid fundamentals in programming, data structures, and databases. * Working knowledge of Python and SQL, and the drive to level up fast. * Projects that show you can build real things: internships, personal projects, hackathons, open source contributions. We care about what you've shipped, not just what you studied. * An appreciation for the gravity of handling sensitive medical data, and a willingness to learn secure, compliant engineering practices (PHI/PII, access controls). * A bias toward action. You have an exceptional craving for momentum, and you'd rather ship something solid and iterate than wait for perfect. * Curiosity for how systems work, comfort with ambiguity, and a refined palate for controlled chaos. * Confident communication. You can explain your thinking simply, take feedback without defensiveness, and collaborate with people who aren't engineers. * A sense of care. You take pride in the details, because in healthcare data, the details are the difference. * A hunger to learn and an ego small enough to admit when you don't know something. Bonus Points * Exposure to Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, or another cloud data warehouse. * Familiarity with Terraform, Docker, or AWS/GCP. * Experience working with APIs and semi-structured data. Our Tech Stack * Compute & Storage: Snowflake, Postgres * Orchestration: Airflow * Infrastructure: Terraform, AWS * Transformation: dbt, SQL, Python ## Description This is a rare chance to learn data engineering from the inside out at one of the fastest-growing healthcare startups in the country. As an Associate Data Engineer at Solace, you'll help build the data platform behind how millions of people experience healthcare. ## Related Videos - [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) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Enjoying SQL data pipelines with dbt](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/823-enjoying-sql-data-pipelines-with-dbt) - [Implementing Feature Environments with AWS and Terraform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/531-implementing-feature-environments-with-aws-and-terraform) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) ## Related Articles - [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) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [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) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
