About
We are looking for a Data Engineer to join our growing R&D Engineering team. If you are excited by the idea of turning data into scientific models and scalable, production-ready systems that support healthcare innovation—this is the role for you.
As part of a collaborative and fast-paced team, you’ll play a key role in supporting our Scientists and Engineers to scale impact across a diverse set of health and behavior datasets and their metadata. You'll help take prototypes and turn them into robust data infrastructure that supports scalable pipelines, analytics, and machine learning operations. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their Data Engineering career who is eager to grow, learn, and make a difference.
Surgo Health is a human-centric AI company that delivers the deepest understanding of human behavior to power better health for all.
A life-saving drug or treatment is of no use if people don’t take it. Surgo Health believes that a complete understanding of what drives people’s behavior – and how their context impacts them – is critical to ensure every person lives a healthy life. Our proprietary data and AI-technology platform produce fit-for-purpose intelligence, analytics, and recommendations that enable our partners to deliver more equitable, efficient, and cost-effective programs that improve health outcomes across the globe.
Our world-class team of healthcare experts and scientists use behavioral science, data science, and artificial intelligence to build innovative, scalable solutions that power patient-centric care and improve outcomes. We are a growing team with ambitious plans, and we're searching for top-class talent who want to roll up their sleeves and dive into a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
