About the Mission:
Join the team at the forefront of revolutionizing medical research in the United States. We are building and maintaining the foundational infrastructure of the National Clinical Cohort Collaborative (N3C), the nation’s largest and most significant public repository of harmonized electronic health record (EHR) data. What began as a critical response to the pandemic has evolved into a multi-disease, terabyte-scale resource that empowers researchers to make discoveries faster than ever before.
This isn't just another data engineering job. This is a chance to leave your mark on a national-scale platform, solve complex data challenges that directly impact public health, and work with a passionate team dedicated to smarter science and better treatments for all.
The Opportunity: Your Impact
We are looking for a visionary Senior Healthcare Data Engineer to be a lead architect of our data ingestion and harmonization ecosystem. You will be instrumental in N3C’s next evolutionary step: the transition to a scalable, secure, and flexible “Dynamic Workspaces" model. You won’t just be maintaining pipelines; you will be re-architecting, modernizing, and scaling the systems that ingest and harmonize a diverse torrent of data. From EHRs and CMS claims to cancer registries and geospatial data, you will be making it research-ready for thousands of scientists.
If you are a builder who thrives on complex challenges and wants your work to have a tangible, lasting impact on science and medicine, we want to talk to you.
