Sword Health jobs

Sword Health is hiring a Senior Data Platform Engineer to join their Data Platform Team, which builds the infrastructure enabling data access across clinical, operations, AI, and product teams—designing and operating a modern streaming lakehouse, distributed pipelines, and API-first surfaces for self-service data consumption. You'll design and evolve the lakehouse foundation, build and operate streaming pipelines with low-latency reliability, own durable workflows coordinating complex data movements, and shape the API surfaces that free producers and consumers from infrastructure complexity. The role requires proven experience designing and operating data platforms at scale (warehouse, data lake, or lakehouse), fluency across storage formats and query engines, and product-minded thinking about data as a service. Sword is a well-funded ($500M+) healthcare AI company that has scaled AI Care across 700,000+ members and 1,000+ enterprise clients, with backing from top-tier VCs like Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst, and the role sits in the high-leverage data foundation that powers their clinical and AI products. AI fluency is mandatory (at least Level 1: daily AI usage for personal productivity), and the role is fully remote with a Porto location noted but context suggests flexibility. Deal-breaker: candidates must demonstrate proficiency with AI coding assistants and LLMs as core to how they work, not as optional tools.
