Job description
Senior Engineer, Data Access
AcuityMD is a software and data platform that accelerates access to medical technologies. Each year, the FDA approves ~6,000 new medical devices. Our platform helps MedTech companies get these products to physicians more effectively so they can improve patient care with the latest technology. We’re backed by Benchmark, Redpoint, ICONIQ Growth, and Ajax Health and we help MedTech companies identify how their products are used, understand why outcomes vary, and identify opportunities where physicians can better serve their patients.
We are looking for a Senior Engineer to join our growing Data Access team. In this role, you will help us build a robust data platform to enable our application teams to work with analytical data effectively. You will do this by designing interfaces within our GCP cloud solution optimizing for BigQuery analytics, balancing cost, and developing an easy-to-use platform for engineers.
Team Mission
We strive to enable app engineering teams with easy, cost-efficient, and performant access to necessary Med Tech data by simplifying and abstracting the way engineers interact with data to build amazing products for our users. We do this by building and curating a data delivery platform that will generalize usage-patterns.
Responsibilities
- Optimize and manage DuckDB-based query execution with PyArrow and Ibis.
- Design and implement efficient data retrieval orchestrators using Python.
- Work on distributed data pipelines integrating Flight, Postgres, and caching.
- Implement tracing, logging, and monitoring with Datadog and LaunchDarkly.
- Optimize multi-threaded execution and prevent query contention issues.
Your Profile
- 5+ years of experience as a professional software engineer.
- Enterprise experience building highly-performant data platforms, specifically analytical data.
- Passion and interest in solving complex data problems focusing on the logistics and operations of query performance.
- Data Engineering experience with familiarity with analytical problem space of big data and large datasets (more on the backend and not ETL).
- Strong Python skills (deep understanding of Python internals and backend engineering), with experience in data pipeline architectures.
- Familiarity with cloud-based data architectures and Kubernetes.
- Experience with cloud-managed data warehouses such as BigQuery (GCP) or Redshift (AWS).
- Solid background in computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and design patterns.
Nice to Haves
- Familiarity across our stack is a plus:
- Primarily Typescript and Go running on GCP with a PostgreSQL database. We also use React, Temporal, Hasura, GraphQL, Elasticsearch, Git, Docker, and Kubernetes.
- Experience with FastAPI, DuckDB, and PyArrow.
You must have an eligible work permit in the USA or Canada to be considered for this position.
We Offer:
- Remote work: AcuityMD is committed to supporting full-remote flexibility for employees in the US. We provide a work-from-home stipend for all employees.
- Unlimited vacation: Generous time off and flexible hours give you the freedom to do your best work.
- Paid Health, Dental, and Vision Plans: We offer 100% paid health, dental, and vision plans for all employees and 75% paid for our employees’ dependents.

- Learning Budget: Reimbursements for relevant learning and up-skilling opportunities.
- Optional Team Retreats: We meet in-person multiple times per year for co-working and social gatherings.
- Parental Leave: 6-12 weeks of fully-paid, flexible parental leave.
- Ground floor opportunity: Join a high-growth startup, backed by world-class investors across Enterprise SaaS and Medical Devices (Benchmark, Redpoint Ventures, and Ajax Health).
- Competitive compensation with equity upside.
Who We Are:
The Company: We are builders, who are inspired by our mission to expand patient access to cutting-edge medical technologies. We value working collaboratively to solve hard problems for our customers with simple, innovative solutions. We push ourselves to learn with empathy.

The Product:
AcuityMD uses data and software to help teams collaborate around the complex relationships they have with the users of medical technologies: doctors.
