Senior Data Engineer

About Serif Health

At Serif Health, we are taking the complexity out of the cost of healthcare. Our mission is to make healthcare pricing and contracting more transparent, easier to understand, fairer, and ultimately more affordable for all. New price transparency regulations have made a wealth of healthcare pricing and reimbursement data publicly available for the first time, but it is still extremely hard to ingest, organize, and actually use this data to understand the cost of care. That’s where we come in.

Serif Health is building healthcare price intelligence data products and APIs to power the future of more transparent healthcare. Our world-class team aggregates, enhances, and distributes trillions of healthcare pricing data points each month for a growing list of B2B & Enterprise customers. Thanks to our tight focus and high level of expertise, we have strong customer traction, high NPS and inbound referral rates, and a top 1% balance sheet.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer who will help us build and maintain our data platform and data products to empower our customers to derive meaningful insights for their transparency needs.
