data engineer jobs



At Reify Health, we are building a more creative healthcare system. We envision a world where every potential therapy, if safe and effective, is available to the patients who can benefit.

Our healthcare system relies on clinical trials to develop new, potentially life-saving treatments for patients. But clinical trials continue to be slow, unpredictable, and expensive. Reify Health’s product helps both the research leaders driving forward clinical trials and the doctors and nurses who care for the patient participants.

As we scale adoption of our product domestically and internationally, we will accelerate world-class clinical research and unlock innovation.

  • Work closely with data and engineering teams to design, develop, iterate, and expand data tools, models, libraries, or features
  • Support orchestration and troubleshooting of our data architecture and tooling
  • Become intimately familiar with HIPAA, GDPR, and other applicable regulatory/security frameworks and how they influence our architecture and development decisions
  • Frequently communicate your results to Head of Data and other stakeholders in clear written, verbal, or presentation form
