Staff Software Engineer - Data Platform

About the Role

We’re hiring a Staff Software Engineer to lead the design and evolution of RadiantGraph’s data platform, the foundation that powers our AI-driven healthcare engagement products.

This is not a “data engineer” role focused on writing ETL jobs. It’s a platform engineering role : architecting secure, compliant systems in Databricks and AWS that make data reliable, scalable, and usable across the company.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring that our platform is :

Secure (IAM, credentials, access patterns),

Compliant (HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST), and

Robust (able to support real-time products, analytics, and ML).

If you’re excited about building the systems that data engineers, scientists, and application developers rely on, this role is for you.
