Are you a Senior Data Engineer who wants real ownership, real impact, and the chance to build everything properly from day one?

I’m working with a rapidly scaling HealthTech business on a mission to improve fertility outcomes using data, science, and a beautifully engineered product. They’ve built an exceptional full‑stack engineering team and now they’re hiring their first Senior Data Engineer to own the entire data landscape.

This is the rare role where you set the standards, define the architecture, and influence every key data decision as the company grows.

Why this is a career‑defining Senior Data Engineer role

• You’ll be the first Senior Data Engineer → full ownership, autonomy, and technical direction.
• Build modern, scalable data pipelines without legacy constraints.
• Work closely with engineers, product teams and clinical experts where data genuinely changes lives.
• Competitive salary + equity in a high‑growth HealthTech.

What you’ll be doing

As the Senior Data Engineer, you will:

• Design and build end‑to‑end data pipelines from scratch.
• Develop high-quality Python and SQL solutions.
• Own all cloud architecture within AWS (Lambda, Glue, S3, Redshift etc.).
• Create data models, frameworks, and best practices that others will follow.
• Influence long-term strategy as the business scales its data ecosystem.

What they’re looking for

• Strong experience as a Senior Data Engineer or an established Data Engineer ready for the step up.
• Proven delivery of automated, scalable pipelines.
• Someone excited by autonomy, ownership, and the chance to build from zero.

Package

• Equity
• The freedom to architect and own a greenfield data function
