The Tech Lead, Data Engineering builds the decisioning and configuration layer behind how partners operate Vida programs- how they onboard members, configure programs, manage eligibility, handle billing-adjacent workflows and run at scale. This person will be hands-on in the codebase while also leading planning, reviews and architecture decisions. Vida invests in quality and observability so we can move fast without breaking things that affect people’s health. Responsibilities: • Own delivery end to end from technical specs, phased migrations, deprecation plans and more. • Take architectural plans and turn them into shipped software- sequenced, risk-managed and on schedule. • Design and implement backend services that handle complex business logic- configuration management, workflow orchestration, data validation and integrations across internal and external systems. • Design APIs, model data, write tests and review pull requests that make the whole team better. • Collaborate on architecture, define domain boundaries, set API standards and bring your own ideas about how to solve hard problems. You will have real influence over how these systems evolve. • Pilot tools where they help, document patterns and scale what works. AI assists; engineers remain accountable for correctness, security and privacy. • Define testing strategies, establish observability standards and strengthen runbooks. • Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing and technical guidance. • Partner with Product, Partnerships and Clinical Operations to understand requirements and partner-facing implications. • Coordinate with Data/AI on integration points. Qualifications: • Bachelors Degree at a minimum. • 6+ years of backend engineering experience (or equivalent), with at least 2 years in a technical leadership role- Lech Lead, Senior Engineer leading a team or similar. • Strong Python fluency. You’ve built and operated production services in Python- ideally with FastAPI or similar async frameworks. • Deep relational database experience. You understand schema design, indexing strategies, query performance, data integrity constraints and migration patterns; PostgreSQL preferred. • Experience designing and building APIs that other teams depend on. You think about contracts, versioning, backward compatibility and clear error semantics. • Solid understanding of data modeling for complex business domains. You’ve worked in systems where the domain logic is the hard part, not just the infrastructure. • Experience with service-oriented or event-driven architectures. You’ve built or decomposed systems that communicate through well-defined interfaces and domain events. • You’ve built systems where events can arrive out of order or twice- and you design for idempotency, retries and safe backfills. • You’ve worked on systems with complex state machines, workflow orchestration or multi-step business processes. • You think about schema evolution, backward compatibility and how systems change over time without breaking consumers. • You can take a technical spec or architecture document and turn it into a clear execution plan with milestones, dependencies and risk callouts. • You’ve led small teams (3-8 engineers) through complex projects and shipped on time. You know how to scope aggressively and cut scope wisely. • You default to pragmatism over perfection. You know when to build it right and when to build it now. • You communicate technical complexity clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders. • You’re opinionated about code quality but not dogmatic. You care about readability, testability and maintainability. • You’re excited about AI-assisted development and actively use modern tools to improve your own workflow. Preferred: • Healthcare, insurance or enterprise SaaS experience- especially in systems with complex partner configuration, eligibility logic or program matching. • Experience with GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub). We’re on GCP, but strong cloud fundamentals transfer. • Familiarity with configuration management systems, rules engines or multi-tenant platform architecture. • Experience working with data engineering or data science teams, especially integrating ML model outputs into backend services. • HIPAA compliance experience.Vida is proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.
