DocStation is a platform that makes it easy for pharmacists to transition away from dispensing pills to providing clinical care for patients. We built the platform with their workflow in mind as opposed to billing requirements, which plagues most of the industry/market. We’re also in a unique position because the majority of the tech innovation has happened at the Hospital/Health System level while pharmacy has been left in the stone age; which is a huge market opportunity as pharmacy starts to catch up.We receive data from insurance claims on a daily, weekly, monthly cadence that we transform into patient profiles, medication lists, and insights in order to augment the clinical work that pharmacists are already doing. We have lots of data at our fingertips and we need you to help us make it even more actionable. It sounds cliché but this type of opportunity doesn’t come along very often.As an early data engineer, you'll help us improve our processes for data intake, sanitization, and standardization within DocStation. Your vision will contribute to our architecture (node.js, python, react) and help us best utilize the data. You'll be responsible for helping maintain and advance core practices, from operational tasks like logging, monitoring, and alerting to how we collaborate as a team with pull-requests and code management.Some things you might work on:Consolidating data in a data lake on S3Managing metadata in consolidated AWS Glue MetastoreEnabling at rest access of data through AthenaAutomating schema managementScheduling and orchestration of workflows in AirflowIntegrating new data across merging companiesYou'll do phenomenal in this role if you have:Experience designing, building, and maintaining data pipelinesExperience leveraging continuous integration technologiesExcellent written and verbal interpersonal skillsIntegrity, respect for others, modesty, and passionIt's a plus if you also have:HIPAA or other security experiencePython experienceMachine learning or data analytics experienceOperations knowledge and expertiseWhy is now the right time for DocStation & Value Based Pharmacy?:The American healthcare system is broken (watch this episode of Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj) and pharmacists are in a unique position to help take better care of patients while saving money in the process. Thankfully, the traditional business model of dispensing pills (how most people think of pharmacists) is going the way of the dodo due to razor thin margins (thanks Amazon/PillPack). Pharmacists are eager to increase the amount of clinical care they're providing and health plans/insurers are starting to recognize the value of that work.Some additional stats:Medicare population & spend is set to double in the next 5-10 years.The US will be 100k primary care physicians short of what’s required by 2030.Patients are already seeing their pharmacist up to 32x a year when they're only seeing their primary care physician 4x/year.DocStation is a fully distributed company that offers a competitive salary and benefits.We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company.
