Own Pearly's data systems end-to-end: Postgres warehouse and OLTP infrastructure, ETL pipelines (bulk and real-time streaming), and data products and APIs.
Drive overall data architecture and harmonization across the platform — designing systems, abstractions, and algorithms that unify data from multiple EHRs, payment processors, and external vendors into a coherent, scalable layer.
Drive data modeling decisions with performance, observability, and operational excellence as first-class concerns.
Own vendor SDK integrations and vendor relationships on the technical side.
Ability to contribute across the full application stack (frontend/backend/db) in all application domains including payments, outreach automation, reporting, and internal tooling.
Guide human engineers and AI agents toward excellence through your own example, mentorship/documentation, and rigorous code review. You're a trusted final pair of eyes across all areas of the codebase.
Partner with Product from ideation through production release to define product specs that translate business goals into clear engineering requirements.
Own the technical spec — the guiding plan that shapes architecture, scope, and execution for every initiative. You think long-horizon, account for scale, and anticipate edge cases.
Think about AI as a system — not just personal productivity, but team-wide leverage, process, and tooling to optimize adoption and minimize friction.
Contribute to CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and development infrastructure as needed — including speed and safety improvements to agent loops through efficient check systems, production-like sandboxes, and tools/skills/plugins.
