Engineering Manager - Data Platform
About Stellar Health:
Healthcare costs are one of the biggest problems in the United States today. At Stellar Health, we are building a platform that helps Healthcare Providers (doctors and support staff) improve the quality of care they provide while also reducing their costs. In the end, these improvements make patients healthier.
Stellar Health’s product is actively used by over 300 Medical Groups - and we have shown that we make a real difference for these practices and their patients.
It’s an exciting time to join the Stellar Team: we have an established product, proven operating model, and we are well funded.
Stellar is looking for an Engineering Manager for our Data Platform Team.
Our engineering team grew substantially in 2020 and we rolled out infrastructure updates, new features, and updates to existing workflows. We also grew the size of our team, bringing in new engineering and product talent.
2021 is going to be another exciting year of growth for us; we have an exciting roadmap and we’ll continue to hire talented engineers for our team. As our team’s headcount continues to grow we are looking for experienced technical leaders to join our team.
We are looking for an Engineering Manager who can balance both technical contributions (read: write code) and people management. Stellar engineering is a small team, meaning each and every team member has the opportunity to work on features and processes that directly impact a patient's health. An Engineering Manager should be comfortable managing high performers and motivating direct reports to take high ownership and accountability for their work, while setting an example of the team by also contributing direct hands-on work.
Our team offers an experienced and mature engineering culture, product development best practices, and an environment where every single engineer has a direct impact on the success of our business.
The Data Platform team
The Data Platform handles incoming data and integrations, processing all that data, transforming it into our data models, and exposing the expectations from this data to the rest of the team.
This team is responsible for managing ETLs, building the integration engines that get data into the platform, and then architecting the platform so that other teams can access the data when necessary.
Key highlights and technical challenges of this team:
- Currently handles 500k patients data being imported every month. Responsible for building the next generation data ingestion pipelines to support ingesting 2 million patients data every 2 weeks.

- You are looking to learn and grow, knowing that this position will involve a lot of ambiguity to deal with, with the support from the organization to help you navigate it.
What you’ll do:
- Expand the Data Platform’s capabilities by supporting more types of data, and expanded amount of data that is being ingested on a daily basis.
- Own the technical direction and impact of the Data Platform - and be responsible for its capabilities, quality and capacity
- Manage and grow data platform team, actively participate in the recruiting and retention of team members.
- Actively contribute to Stellar’s Engineering Culture and ensure direct reports are writing clear and concise production code for the Stellar Health Platform
- Provide effective and constructive feedback by reviewing others’ work.
