Junior Data Engineer (Healthcare Data Operations)

Remote

Segmed’s mission is to bring higher quality healthcare to millions of patients around the world. We are revolutionizing healthcare research by building a medical imaging data platform with secure and easy data access. We see a future where medical AI helps people get a better standard of care no matter where they are in the world, and we hope you do, too! We are a fast-growing startup in a quickly evolving field and we came out of Stanford and Y Combinator. We're a 100% remote and distributed team.

We’re looking for a junior Data Engineer to join our team and help us streamline and scale our data operations. This is a great opportunity for an early-career professional who’s eager to learn, detail-oriented, and motivated to work on meaningful problems in healthcare.

What You’ll Do
As a Data Engineer, you will help manage and deliver clinical datasets to our customers, ensuring data integrity, compliance, and usability throughout the process. This role is not focused on building large-scale software systems — instead, it requires someone who enjoys working with a mix of tools, processes, and lightweight scripting to get things done.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Operating and supporting internal data workflows using a range of tools and platforms
  • Proactively monitoring and improving data operation pipelines as well as debugging and resolving data related issues
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams — clinical, engineering, product, and commercial — to support project delivery
  • Performing quality checks and supporting de-identification efforts to ensure patient privacy
  • Following and reinforcing Segmed’s compliance policies and data security protocols
  • Managing multiple projects and shifting priorities in a dynamic environment

What We’re Looking For

  • 1–4 years of experience in a data engineering, technical operations, or software support role
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL and familiarity with bash, Git, file formats, and data wrangling
  • Comfort working with healthcare data types (or interest in learning about DICOM, ECG, video, and pathology data)
  • Detail-oriented mindset, especially when working with sensitive or regulated data
  • A self-starter who takes ownership and thrives in a collaborative startup environment. A proactive, ownership-driven attitude — you like to take initiative and figure things out
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, startup-style environment with evolving processes
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams

Bonus Points

  • Experience with healthcare, imaging, or clinical data
  • Familiarity with privacy regulations (e.g., HIPAA) or de-identification practices
  • Exposure to cloud platforms like Google Cloud or AWS
  • Prior experience in a startup or fast-paced operational role

Why Join Segmed?

  • Join a mission-driven team focused on improving global healthcare
  • Learn fast and grow alongside clinicians, engineers, and data experts
  • Work with cutting-edge medical data types and real-world use cases
  • Flexible remote work culture (US-based preferred)
  • Competitive compensation and benefits

Segmed Values

  • Transparency: We tell it like it is, good or bad
  • Social Good: People first
  • Learning Mentality: We acknowledge what we don’t know and find out
  • Integrity: Do the right thing even if no one’s watching

The Segmed team is international. We have team members from a huge variety of backgrounds and lifestyles. We consider equal opportunities essential. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, transgender status, sexual stereotypes, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

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.
