Job Description
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
