Job Description

Senior Data Platform Engineer

Sword Health

• Design and evolve Sword’s streaming lakehouse — the foundation that every data consumer in the company depends on. • Build and operate distributed streaming pipelines that move data at low latency and high reliability. • Own the durable workflows that coordinate complex data movement across systems. • Shape the platform’s API surface — the interface producers and consumers use so they never need to touch infrastructure. • Drive evaluations and integrations with vendor data platforms, sitting inside the architectural trade-offs rather than just consuming the output. • Contribute to the self-service and agentic layer: interfaces designed to be consumed by humans, systems, and AI agents alike. • Partner with data engineers and analysts on contracts, governance, and lineage. • Build and maintain AI-ready data infrastructure that powers ML and AI-driven products across Sword. • Leverage AI coding assistants and LLMs to accelerate development, automate documentation, and raise code quality. • Work in a regulated environment where audit, compliance, and governance are part of every design.

Job Requirements

  • Proven experience designing and operating data platforms at scale — warehouse, data lake, or lakehouse architectures in production.
  • Hands-on experience with a modern lakehouse table format — Iceberg strongly preferred; Delta Lake or Hudi also welcome. You understand how the format works under the hood: metadata layout, snapshots, manifests, compaction, copy-on-write vs. merge-on-read.
  • Clear mental model of catalogs (REST, Polaris, Glue, Unity, Hive) — their trade-offs, and how compute stays detached from storage.
  • Exposure to at least one vendor lakehouse or query platform — Snowflake, Starburst, or Databricks — at the level where you can reason about its architecture, not just use its UI.
  • Strong experience with a distributed processing engine — Flink strongly preferred; Spark also fine. You can reason about its internals, fine-tune a running job, and debug a pipeline that’s silently degrading.
  • Familiarity with durable execution — Temporal, Restate, or similar — or at minimum a solid mental model of what durable execution means and why it matters for data workflows.
  • Production experience building and operating APIs (REST or gRPC) at scale — good instincts about contracts, versioning, retries, rate limiting, and observability.
  • Solid understanding of Kafka and event-driven architectures (producers/consumers, partitioning, delivery semantics).
  • Comfortable in regulated environments (healthcare, fintech, gov) where audit, compliance, and data governance are part of every design.
  • Platform mindset: you design for self-service, API-first, and with systems and agents — not only humans — as legitimate consumers.
