Our infrastructure provides the guardrails for safe AI governance, healthcare-specific agent creation, and real-time algorithm monitoring — working alongside leading health systems to drive real change.

This is more than just a job. It's an opportunity to build the future of AI in healthcare, solve complex challenges, and make a lasting impact on patient care. If you're ambitious, innovative, and ready to move fast, we'd love to have you on board.

Join us in shaping the future of healthcare.

Job Summary: The Director of Product Data Engineering is one of the most important leadership hires we'll make this year. You'll build and lead the team responsible for every reusable data product artifact at Qualified Health — transformation notebooks, validation pipelines, data specifications, IaC modules, and the initial agentic LLM call development that sits at the heart of our clinical AI workflows.

Today, this work is being done ad-hoc by our integration team alongside customer deployments. You're going to change that. You'll create a dedicated product engineering function that builds tested, documented, reusable artifacts — the kind that can be deployed to a new health system partner in days instead of weeks. You own the backlog, you set the technical standards, and you drive the architecture decisions that determine how our data products scale.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape how Qualified Health builds its core data product layer. You'll work across three product families — revenue cycle, care gap optimization, and quality registry abstraction — each with multiple active agentic workflows. The right person in this role will dramatically increase the throughput of our integration teams by eliminating per-partner reinvention and replacing it with a library of production-grade, reusable components.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and lead a team of 4-5 data engineers focused on reusable product artifacts
• Own the product data engineering backlog in partnership with product management
• Define and enforce technical standards for notebooks, pipelines, QC modules, and documentation
• Drive the development of reusable data provisioning modules (IaC) and pipeline tooling
• Lead the build-out of data transformation and validation notebooks for agentic workflows

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Mathematics, or related technical field
• 8+ years in data engineering, with 3+ years in a technical leadership role
• Deep Databricks/Spark expertise at the architecture level — performance tuning, cluster management, Delta Lake design patterns
• Experience building reusable data frameworks, tooling, or platforms
• Demonstrated ability to hire, develop, and retain strong engineers
• Ability to travel for team onsites, leadership meetings or partner-facing architecture discussions 5-10% of the time

Preferred Skills:

Technical Environment: Our data infrastructure is built on modern cloud technologies including:

• Azure Databricks + Data Factory (plus Fabric and Snowflake integrations)
• PySpark for distributed data processing
• GitHub Actions + Terraform for CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code
• Python with type-safe patterns and modern frameworks
• Healthcare data formats including FHIR, Epic Clarity, and other EHR schemas
