About the company

At Covera, we're committed to ensuring high-quality healthcare is more than just a promise. That's why we're leading the way in the emerging science of quality, and connecting providers and payers in their shared quest to improve patient outcomes and care quality. By tackling this challenge, we have the ability to impact millions of lives by raising the standard of care nationwide.

Our initial focus is radiology, where an early and accurate diagnosis has a profound impact on the rest of a patient's care journey. Through our work, which uses clinically-validated science-based tools, we're helping doctors enhance their care, ensuring patients get the right diagnosis, and enabling the healthcare system to support quality improvement at scale.

Through our clinical intelligence platform, we have launched programs that help people access the most effective care and provide doctors with AI-powered quality insights and tools to enhance their care. Today, Covera is partnered with leading employers, payers and healthcare organizations across the US, including Walmart and Microsoft. And, with a pipeline representing over 25% of insured Americans, we are in the early stages of improving care quality for all patients across the globe.

About the role

As a Data Engineer at Covera Health, you'll play a critical part in building, optimizing, and maintaining data pipelines that power our clinical intelligence platform. Your work will directly contribute to shaping a consistent and scalable foundation for our analytics and AI products — helping us advance the quality of care patients receive.

In this role, you will be expected to:

  • Design, develop, and maintain data pipelines for internal and external sources, including real-time, scheduled, and triggered workflows
  • Transform disparate datasets into unified, canonical models that support enterprise-wide analytics

  • Develop “one-wide” tables and normalized data structures to improve consistency and usability
  • Build data exchanges with external partners, ensuring reliability and scalability
  • Collaborate cross-functionally across Tech and other departments to meet business and product goals
  • Maintain high standards of documentation, code readability, and data governance
  • Embrace a test-and-learn mindset to optimize pipeline performance and scalability

Special Considerations: 

While we are a remote-first company with employees located across the U.S., we do have a NYC office located at Penn 1. Many of our local employees come into the office on Wednesdays for collaboration and connection (and lunch!). We have a preference for candidates located in the Eastern or Central Time Zones.

Requirements:

  • 4+ years of experience working in data engineering,  and prior exposure to big data systems and/or experience in healthcare data environments is preferred
  • Proficient in Python, SQL, Git, and cloud-managed systems (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Experience with multiple data systems and formats, and have dealt with complex ingestion/export challenges
  • Experience with orchestration tools  (Airflow, dbt,  Databricks or similar)
  • Familiarity with visualization tools is a plus (Metabase, Tableau, or similar)

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical plans - choose from three plans, including one with 100% of premiums covered for you and your dependents
  • Vision & Dental
  • Flexible Time Off - take the time you need, when you need it
  • Covera Fridays - once a month, Covera takes a fully paid day off to unplug and recharge
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan
  • Annual Professional Development Stipend to invest in courses, books, or any other professional development related activity
  • Annual Wellness stipend for fitness, mental health or other wellness expenses

The minimum and maximum salary for this position ranges from $165,000 to $180,000 in addition to a discretionary bonus and comprehensive benefits package. Final salary will be based on a number of factors including but not limited to, a candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies, experience, expertise and location.

At Covera Health, we strive to build diverse teams that reflect the people we want to empower through our technology. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. Equal Opportunity is the Law, and Covera Health is proud to be an equal-opportunity workplace and affirmative action employer. If you have a specific need that requires accommodation, please let a member of the People Team know.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
