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
