Healthcare needs good data. At PicnicHealth, we are building deep real-world datasets fueling cutting-edge research while giving patients control of their own medical record data. These complete, clinically-rich datasets produce unique insights — across dozens of diseases — to ultimately get the right treatments into patients’ hands faster. We do this by working directly with patients and leveraging state of the art machine learning to transform messy medical records into structured, research-ready datasets. To date we’ve helped tens of thousands of patients securely access their records and proactively contribute to advancing research in diseases that impacts their lives.  

We’re excited to announce $60 million in funding in a Series C led by  B Capital Group. Our existing investors Felicis Ventures and Amplify Partners also joined the round, bringing the total we have raised to more than $100 million.

And we are just getting started! If you are looking to join an award winning, mission-driven, motivated team that is making a real impact across millions of people’s lives, PicnicHealth might just be the place for you.

The Opportunity

Data is PicnicHealth’s core product. We are looking for experienced Data Engineers to expand the data products we export to clients, while maintaining and improving their quality. Besides the products we export to clients, you’ll also be working with internal consumers of PicnicHealth’s data throughout the company. From powering machine learning to driving operations decisions and informing sales efforts, you’ll be working with stakeholders throughout the company to architect solutions for a variety of needs.  

Data is also core to PicnicHealth’s decision making. Working closely with our analytics team, you ensure PicnicHealth has the data and analytics platform we need to make key business decisions. From internal application data capturing the decisions and interactions of our users to business operations data, you’ll ensure our analytics team has the data and the tools they need to measure critical business metrics.

We are looking for curious, empathetic and analytic individuals to join our team. We are growing quickly in size and sophistication and need experts who love databases and the puzzles posed by moving data through complex workflows with humans in the loop.
