Paradigm is rebuilding the clinical research ecosystem by creating a platform that enables equitable access to trials for all patients while enhancing trial efficiency and reducing the barriers to participation for healthcare providers. Incubated by ARCH Venture Partners and backed by leading healthcare and life sciences investors, Paradigm aims to break down barriers across the trial ecosystem through one seamless infrastructure implemented at healthcare provider organizations, bringing potentially life-saving therapies to patients faster.

We ingest data from multiple data sources: Electronic Health Records, Lab providers, Health Information Exchanges (and more). We enrich, harmonize and make it available for multiple consumers and product verticals. As our population, research and health system footprint grows we will scale our architecture to support parallel data processing. 

ML & Data Science teams will use data to optimize and develop new classification models. Data Scientists and Analysts for defining better patient matching heuristics, answering trial & research site feasibility queries, and ultimately surface insights for clinical trial opportunities. 

We work with application consumer teams to optimize data for our Clinical Trial Matching workflows (matching patients to potential trials) and Study Conduct (capturing study data once a trial has started). 

As a Senior Engineer on the Data team, you’ll partner closely with product and data consumers to improve the breadth, quality and completeness of our data.

  • Build and support robust batch and streaming pipelines
  • Build tools and processes to make data accessible across products and data consumers
  • Evolve the maturity of our monitoring systems and processes to improve visibility and failure detection in our infrastructure
  • Become a subject matter expert on our different datasets and tooling
  • Work with privacy & security to ensure we govern data responsibly

What you’ll bring:

  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering
  • You have experience driving technical projects, prioritizing work, identifying dependencies, facilitating technical decisions and cross-functional team discussions
  • Depth of expertise in SQL and data analysis skills
  • System design and data workflow optimization
  • Coding in Python or other languages
  • Experience with ETL orchestration tools like Apache Airflow and Dagster
  • Data transformation tools like dbt or dataform
  • Experience with data warehouse DBs (such as BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, etc…)

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.

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.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

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.
