About Oncolens

It is hard to find someone in today's world who hasn't been impacted by cancer. At OncoLens, we envision a world where every cancer patient has access to the best possible minds, therapies, and innovations in care—in time to make a difference. We deliver tech-based solutions for cancer care professionals and life science companies to improve treatment plans and save lives.

OncoLens is a global, venture-backed healthcare company, serving some of the largest integrated delivery networks and national cancer institutes across the country.

The Opportunity

We're hiring a Staff Data Engineer with strong AI orientation to help build and scale our data and AI platform.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who can operate across the stack—from data pipelines to production AI systems—and who cares about shipping real, working solutions (not just prototypes).

If you thrive in ambiguity, think like a product owner, and use AI as a force multiplier, this role puts you at the center of high-impact initiatives.

What You'll Do

Build & Own Data Systems
Design and maintain scalable data pipelines (batch and real-time)
Ensure data quality, consistency, and reliability across systems
Eliminate gray areas between upstream and downstream data
Ship AI-Driven Features
Partner with product and engineering to deliver AI-enabled functionality
Deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot LLM-based and ML systems in production
Focus on shipping reliable outputs, not just experimentation
Operationalize & Validate
Productionize models and workflows into robust, maintainable systems
Build validation frameworks and sanity checks for output quality
Improve observability, performance, and system reliability
Work Through Ambiguity
Translate loosely defined problems into clear technical solutions
Make pragmatic tradeoffs and clearly communicate decisions
Execute quickly while maintaining a high quality bar

What We're Looking For

Strong experience in data engineering, including:

Building and maintaining pipelines
Experience with Spark or similar distributed systems
Proficiency in Python, SQL, and modern data platforms
Experience operationalizing data systems and/or models in production
Exposure to AI/ML systems, including:
Working with or integrating LLMs or modern AI tools
Understanding of probabilistic systems and LLM fundamentals
Using AI tools to accelerate development and problem solving
Solid statistical intuition:
Ability to reason about data quality, anomalies, and outputs

How You Think

Product-oriented: Focused on outcomes, not tasks
Critical thinker: Naturally validates outputs and assumptions
Pragmatic: Leverages existing tools vs. over-engineering
Adaptable: Comfortable in a fast-moving AI environment
Collaboration & Communication
Clear, proactive communicator with strong follow-through
Able to explain how and why you approach problems
Comfortable working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and data teams

Why Join OncoLens

Build real-world AI systems that directly impact patient outcomes
Work in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment
Gain exposure to both technical and strategic decision-making in a scaling company

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive salary + Bonus
Equity participation
