Data Integration Engineer 2025

We’re Ursa Health, a 10-year-old, growth stage company. We straddle the line between being a software company and a high-end consultancy, turning healthcare data into actionable insights. We’ve developed our healthcare data platform over the last decade combining deep industry IP with sophisticated master data management, ELT controls, and no-code logic authoring. Thanks to our unique, methodical approach, we’re able to make sense of data in a way nobody else in the industry is able to – generating analytics that are trusted enough to change how care is delivered.

We’re not talking about fancy black-box models or machine-learning algorithms, although we do some of that too. Simply the work of taking healthcare data in its messy, raw format and turning it into a data frame and measure results that accurately describe what is actually happening to patients; very few organizations can do this well. And, because of that, we serve as the core data and analytics engine for many of the most innovative companies in healthcare.

We’re growing our team and are looking for engineers who can straddle this line between a software company and a consultancy. It’s in our DNA that the people building our software products should also be on the front line of client-facing work. It’s a hybrid role, and you’ll have to be comfortable billing hourly on idiosyncratic client deliverables. But you’ll also be channeling that work back into our software products, the longstanding Ursa Studio and our nascent Ursa Copilot (https://github.com/ursahealth/ursa-copilot).

Responsibilities

• Perform data discovery and build integration pipelines to support healthcare data obtained from multiple sources, including medical and pharmacy claims, clinical / population health data, FHIR, billing data, credentialing data, and operational data.
• Support efforts of building efficient data acquisition and data sharing solutions from various healthcare IT systems.
• Facilitate assessments evaluating the health IT landscape of clients with focus on building data acquisition and integration pipelines.
• Drive necessary discussions related to data discovery and integrations with internal and external stakeholders.
• Collaborate internally in supporting and expanding the Ursa data model, as well as building augment software tooling to improve and facilitate data work.

Qualifications

• Deep experience with SQL and the ability to think in terms of relational databases.
• General familiarity with orchestration technologies; Ursa Studio has its own built-in ELT system, so no specific orchestration product experience is required.
• Experience in the healthcare industry is beneficial but not necessary.

Ursa Health is fully remote. We’ve been fully remote since our founding and have a strong remote-only culture. Hours are flexible. You’ll be able – and indeed expected – to turn off Slack for hours at a time in order to get into a flow to solve the most difficult problems.

If you want to apply to join our team, send us your resume along with an example of your work: whatever you’re able to share. We’ll send you a puzzle to complete, which shouldn’t take more than a couple hours. The puzzle is drawn straight from our work and will give you an honest sense of the real-life challenges you’ll be expected to tackle.

After we review your puzzle answers, you should expect at least two rounds of video interviews. Job scams do happen so be careful sharing personal information.

We're excited to meet candidates who are already authorized to work in the U.S., as we are currently unable to provide visa sponsorship.

Ursa Health is an equal opportunity employer. We are passionate about achieving diversity on our team because we know that different backgrounds and points of view fuel innovation and creativity, and will therefore help us reach our goal of making healthcare better and more equitable for all. We foster an inclusive environment where we can celebrate our differences. We encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply to this and all of our open positions. All applicants will be considered for employment without consideration of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law.
