Who We Are

Claritas Rx is a venture-backed digital health startup that brings clarity to the challenges of specialty biopharmaceutical products in the marketplace. In today’s highly complex specialty networks, our mission is to illuminate the patient experience beyond the clinical trial. Claritas Rx leverages a proprietary technology platform and deep manufacturer expertise to automate and integrate channel, commercial, and clinical data and help biopharmaceutical companies generate actionable business insights. Our work uncovers the real-world variables impacting patient access, duration of therapy, and other metrics key to commercial success, making a real impact on patient healthcare.

The Position

We are a rapidly growing healthcare technology company seeking a Sr Data Engineer. Reporting to Director of Data Engineering, you will be responsible for delivering on many data engineering initiatives towards our Data Aggregation product roadmap.

As a Sr Data Engineer, you will own and drive multiple major workstreams by refining requirements, creating design documents, delivering rapid prototypes and POCs, tasking out detailed implementation plans and overseeing the implementation using a mix of onshore and offshore resources.  You will help give a weekly status on the workstream and help drive work forward by reviewing PRs, doing UAT that work was done as expected, and that it was deployed to production and operational.  You will help demo the completed workstream to the rest of the business and facilitate transitioning ownership of each service built to an operations support team with the help of metrics, dashboards, alarms and runbook documentation.

The workstreams are generally related to developing a secure, robust and scalable data pipeline with software components for ingesting, validating, mastering, transforming, analyzing, and reporting on complex health care data. The software transforms disparate data into actionable, meaningful insights for our customers. You will be a critical member of a product and engineering steam that is building a unique healthcare software solution.
