Staff Software Engineer, Data Engineering

Omada Health is on a mission to inspire and engage people in lifelong health, one step at a time. They are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical strategy and implementation of their enterprise data architecture and analytics enablement tooling. This role involves designing and evolving core data products, ensuring data quality and governance, and mentoring engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own the vision and technical roadmap for Omada’s enterprise data architecture, spanning ingestion, storage, modeling, and serving layers for analytics and applied statistics use cases
• Design, implement, and evolve scalable, secure, and cost‑efficient data solutions (datalakes, warehouses, marts, semantic layers) that support governed, cross‑functional analytics and self‑service
• Define and socialize architectural patterns, data contracts, and integration standards used by data and product teams across the organization
• Anticipate future needs (e.g., new product lines, new modalities, AI/ML workloads) and drive proactive architectural changes rather than reacting to incidents or point‑in‑time requests
• Lead the design of logical and physical data models to support enterprise metrics, dashboards, and ad hoc analytics, with a focus on reusability and clear ownership
• Implement robust data quality, validation, and monitoring frameworks that underpin trusted 'single source of truth' definitions for core concepts (e.g., active member, MAU, GLP‑1 member)
• Partner with the Senior Product Manager, Data Enablement & Governance to translate governance decisions (definitions, ownership, change‑management processes) into concrete technical implementations in the data platform
• Set standards and review mechanisms to ensure new pipelines, marts, and reports align with enterprise definitions and governance policies
• Continuously improve performance, scalability, and cost‑efficiency of data workflows and storage; lead deep dives and remediation for complex production issues
• In close partnership with the Senior PM, define and deliver core, reusable data products (e.g., engagement, clinical, financial, client, care delivery datasets) that power dashboards, reporting, and self‑service analytics
• Co-Architect and implement technical foundations for AI‑assisted analytics tools, governed semantic layers, and reporting applications that make analysts and business users more efficient
• Partner with Product and Engineering teams owning tools like Amplitude, Tableau, and internal reporting tools to ensure consistent instrumentation, mapping to enterprise definitions, and scalable access patterns
• Translate business and product requirements into resilient schemas, data services, and interfaces that are usable, maintainable, and auditable
• Ensure production data delivery meets defined SLAs and supports downstream BI, reporting apps, and applied statistics workloads
• Play a key role in cross‑functional forums (e.g., Data Governance Committee, analytics communities) as the technical voice for feasibility, risk, and long‑term platform health
• Lead large, multi‑team technical initiatives—from design to implementation and rollout—setting a high bar for design docs, reviews, and execution quality
• Mentor senior and mid‑level engineers, elevating the team’s skills in data modeling, pipeline design, governance, and platform thinking
• Help shape playbooks for how product squads and spokes engage with central data teams on new metrics, data products, and applied stats projects
• Partner closely with Analytics, Data Science, Product, and business leaders to ensure data architecture and governance decisions are aligned with company OKRs and measurable business value
• Proactively identify complexity, duplication, and fragility in existing systems; drive simplification and standardization with sustainable solutions
• Model Omada’s values in day‑to‑day work, fostering a culture of trust, context‑seeking, bold thinking, and high‑impact delivery

Requirements:

• 8+ years of experience building, maintaining, and orchestrating scalable data platforms and high‑quality production pipelines, including significant experience in analytics or warehousing environments
• Demonstrated Staff‑level impact: leading cross‑team technical initiatives, making architectural decisions that shaped a multi‑year roadmap, and influencing stakeholders beyond your immediate team
• Deep experience with cloud data ecosystems (e.g., AWS) and modern data warehouses (e.g., Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery), including MPP query optimization
• Strong background in data modeling for OLTP and OLAP, and designing reusable data products for BI, reporting, and advanced analytics
• Hands-on experience implementing data quality, observability, and governance frameworks, ideally in a regulated or PHI/PII‑sensitive environment
• Experience partnering with Product Management and Analytics to define and deliver platform capabilities, not just point solutions
• Strong proficiency in SQL (analytical and performance‑tuned) and experience with relational and MPP databases
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language used in data engineering (e.g., Python, Java, Scala) and comfort applying software engineering best practices (testing, CI/CD, code review)
• Experience with workflow orchestration and data integration tools (e.g., Airflow) and event‑driven or streaming patterns where appropriate
• Familiarity with BI and analytics tools (e.g., Tableau, Amplitude, or similar) and how they integrate with governed data layers
• Experience with data governance concepts (ownership, lineage, definitions, access controls) and their technical implementation in a modern data stack
• Familiarity with AI tools for development
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders
• Highly self‑directed and comfortable operating in ambiguous, cross‑functional problem spaces, creating clarity and direction where none exists
• Strong sense of ownership and bias for impact; you care about outcomes for members, customers, and internal users, not just elegant systems
