Our team is deeply committed, often putting in the extra effort — not because we’re told to, but because we’re invested. We’re here to build fast, push limits, and deliver without compromise. If you thrive under pressure and want to do the most meaningful work of your career, you’ll feel right at home. If you’re looking for something easier — this isn’t it. THE ROLE We’re looking for a Clinical Data Engineer who will own the end-to-end data pipelines for our clinical studies, including regulatory trials. You will create monitoring tools for tracking live data out in the field that can alert the research associates to any issues, work closely with ML/AI to ensure that incoming data are stored in formats that are easily ingestible and clearly labeled, and work to align datasets with multiple incoming sources of data for analysis by our team. Additionally, you will own the data analysis for our hardware validation studies (heart rate, heart rate variability, and presence), helping to make key go/no-go decisions for the company. You’ll be the connective tissue between our internal teams and the external clinical sites, and can continuously think outside the box to make our studies more efficient for the research associates and data scientists. You will operate at the intersection of data engineering, applied data science, and clinical research by working directly with raw sensor data from all of our products, along with the ground truth data to validate our algorithms to make key product decisions. You will own the end-to-end data lifecycle, from ingestion to analysis to communication. This role is highly cross-functional with hardware, software, product, and research teams.
