At Swoop, our mission is simple: Improving patient outcomes. As a market leader in AI-driven, data-powered, and privacy-compliant healthcare engagement, we connect the signals that drive earlier diagnosis, better treatment decisions, and sustained adherence.
Our integrated, privacy-safe platform, enables life sciences companies to drive measurable patient and commercial outcomes with actionable intelligence — spanning patient and HCP audience targeting, community engagement, AI-powered web solutions, coordinated omnichannel activation, and prescription fulfillment.
We believe our people are our greatest asset. Swoop fosters a culture of innovation and continuous learning, providing employees with rich opportunities for professional growth. This commitment to our team earned us the "Best Places to Work" recognition from Business Intelligence Group in 2025 and 2026. We are driven by a patient-first philosophy and passionate about leveraging technology to create a healthier future. After becoming an independent company in 2024, Swoop experienced significant growth and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to innovation, talent development, and enhancing the patient experience. Our acquisition of MyHealthTeam in January 2025 and Nimble in May 2026 helped us further bridging the gap between healthcare brands and patients for more impactful and targeted engagement. Empowering millions of patients nationwide to connect, share resources, and access medically verified information to better manage their health. MyHealthTeam hosts the largest and most engaged patient social networks in healthcare, offering more than 70 condition-specific communities for chronic and rare conditions. As a prescription fulfillment and patient engagement platform, Nimble empowers independent and regional pharmacies to deliver a modern, consumer-friendly healthcare experience while streamlining pharmacy operations.
If you're a driven professional seeking to make a real difference in healthcare marketing at a fast-growing, innovative company, join Swoop and help us revolutionize how brands connect with patients and HCPs.
*Current Canadian work authorization is strongly preferred. Visa sponsorship may be considered on an exceptional basis for highly qualified candidates who possess specialized skills critical to this role. As a Senior Data Engineer, you will own Nimble's data platform — the layer that every other team builds on to understand the business, ship product features, and meet our compliance obligations. The work scales beyond you: what you build once accelerates product, analytics, ops, and data science for years. The role lives at the intersection of production engineering and data engineering, and the test of your work is whether other teams move faster because of it. This is an opportunity to be rewarded for hard technical work on a problem that genuinely matters. Our engineering culture: We operate with shared trust and no egos. We enjoy being "in this together" and collaborating on the challenges of a rapidly scaling business. We live out our company values of curiosity, ownership, simplicity, and a get-it-done mentality. Open to Senior or Lead. What matters is what you could build, not your current title.Own the data platform end-to-end — ingestion, transformation, storage, query, and access — and drive its roadmap as the company's data needs grow
Build and evolve batch and streaming pipelines on PySpark/EMR, Kinesis, Lambda, and Step Functions, ingesting from Postgres, Salesforce, third-party vendors, and product event streams into our Iceberg-based lake
Model the warehouse: design SCD tables, event tables, and the conventions other engineers and analysts follow when adding new data
Partner with product, engineering, analytics, and operations stakeholders across the company to turn data requests into well-scoped, reliable pipelines — and write the docs and tooling that let them self-serve next time
Own the security and compliance backbone of our data systems, including audit logging, access control, and temporary-access workflows
Optimize backend query performance where the data layer meets product code — reader-replica routing, indexing, caching, and IO instrumentation in our Java/Spring services
Lead investigation and remediation when data infrastructure misbehaves — IOPS spikes, pipeline failures, schema drift, late data — and make the fixes durable
Use AI as a daily accelerant for pipeline scaffolding, schema work, and ad-hoc investigations — and ship internal AI tooling that lets other teams do the same
Mentor engineers and analysts across the company on how to work with the data platform
5+ years of experience building production data pipelines and platforms
Deep Python (PySpark) and SQL fluency, including tuning Spark jobs at scale
The skills and willingness to work on the services around the data layer (Java, Spring Boot)
Hands-on experience with distributed compute (Spark/EMR), streaming (Kinesis), and object storage (S3)
Solid Postgres fundamentals — query optimization, indexing, replication, replica routing, and a feel for when the database is the bottleneck
Experience with Iceberg and Trino, or similar
Comfort with CI/CD and Terraform
Already building with AI — frontier models, agentic coding tools, or something you hacked together last weekend
Track record of working across teams that don't speak your language (product, ops, etc.)
You take ownership of the platform's reliability, cost, accessibility, and compliance — not just the tickets you happened to ship
You think about security and PII/PHI handling as core engineering work, not as someone else's problem
You're a force multiplier: the docs, tools, and skills you leave behind make other engineers and analysts faster long after the original ticket closes
You have a bias for shipping iteratively and instrumenting what you ship — you'd rather demo a rough v1 in two days than a polished v3 in two weeks
You take pride in your work and have good judgment on what to prioritize when everything feels urgent
Compassionate and driven colleagues in a fun environment where success is celebrated
Accelerated career growth in a fast-growing company
Coaching from experienced engineering leaders
Direct access to executives and a transparent company culture
Rare opportunity to change an industry and lives of millions
We are reinventing healthcare / pharmacy - your (grand)parents and your (grand)children will understand and appreciate what you do
