## Description

You'll own Kairon's data backbone and integrations layer - designing the pipelines, APIs, and frameworks that move, clean, and enrich healthcare data end-to-end, from ingestion through analytics and in-app intelligence. This is a high-autonomy role with outsized impact on architecture, tooling, and standards.
You'll collaborate closely with our CEO, engineers, and team leadership to build secure, scalable data infrastructure that underpins every part of our product - from performance analytics to AI-driven insights.
This is a foundational role: you'll be the technical owner of our data backbone and integrations layer, with significant autonomy and influence over design, tooling, and standards., * Build the pipelines: design, build, and optimize ETL pipelines for ingesting, transforming, and loading data from healthcare, CRM, and other third-party systems into Snowflake and downstream applications.

 * Own integrations: Lead connections to EHRs (Athena, eClinicalWorks, etc.), Salesforce, payer feeds, and Microsoft Teams/Azure; manage auth, rate limits, retries, and schema evolution.
 * Model the data: Architect and maintain data models that support both analytics and application layers, ensuring scalability, performance, and data quality.
 * Raise data quality: Implement tests and observability to prevent regressions and ensure trust.
 * Advance enrichment: develop next-generation ETL capabilities leveraging LLM-based data enrichment, unstructured data parsing, and automated mapping.
 * Partner across teams: Collaborate with product, analytics, and AI to power real-time metrics, dashboards, and in-product intelligence.
 * Build for compliance: Implement HIPAA-aligned flows (encryption, least-privilege access, auditing) and support SOC 2 controls across logging, access, and change management.
 * Set standards & mentor: Establish patterns, docs, and conventions; mentor future hires and raise the engineering bar.
