The Opportunity
PicnicHealth requests and processes tens of thousands of pages of medical records each week to build a timeline of each patient’s healthcare journey. For those willing to contribute their data to research, we then assemble some of the richest real-world evidence datasets available. This process is made possible by systems and applications that we develop in our Data Production squad. Central to Data Production is the HIPE application (
Human-in-the-Loop Processing Engine), which uses sophisticated machine learning and carefully-designed UI/UX to help experts quickly and accurately extract data from medical records as we receive them. Data Production also includes the tooling and processes used to bundle together and deliver data for research.
Most engineers at Picnic are product engineers. On the Data Production squad, you’d own features end-to-end, from planning out and structuring data models to designing and building front-end interfaces. You’ll need to be able to think independently and operate with a high degree of autonomy, taking problems with many unknowns and finding the best solution. You naturally orient yourself to user and business impact. We have challenges ranging from creating new ways to visualize medical information, to implementing data pipelines that support large language models, to improving application performance. You’ll need to be able to fearlessly tackle any challenge that gets thrown at you.
As a Product Engineer you will:
- Drive impact for the organization by rallying partners to solve difficult and sometimes ambiguous problems. You’ll partner on translating the company’s strategic and high impact initiatives into an iterative roadmap of work and execute with the engineering team on its delivery.
- Work at all levels of the stack — frontend (React, Apollo), backend and web services (Node, Python, GraphQL), infrastructure (GCP, Kubernetes), and data (PostgreSQL, Redis)
- Ship code to production frequently, often daily
- Architect efficient and reusable systems. Propose best practices and major system upgrades.
- Mentor engineers by providing technical guidance and contributing to building a world class engineering culture.
You are a great fit if you:
- Have experience shipping code for 5+ years
- A B.S. in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
- Have a strong foundation in computer science, with competencies in data structures, algorithms, software and system design
- Experience driving multi quarter and multi team initiatives or projects forward
- Are successful at communicating with cross functional stakeholders and can communicate complicated technical concepts to a wide audience. You’re comfortable putting pen to paper to share ideas.
- Are able to code on the client and the server for web platforms. You’re comfortable writing and optimizing SQL queries.
- Have experience deploying and maintaining production applications in the cloud (GCP, AWS, Azure)
- You are excited by machine learning and its implications for user interfaces
We expect all team members to be motivated to be amazing in their roles and, ultimately, to move the PicnicHealth mission forward.
