Forward Deployed Data Engineer

Abacus Insights is expanding what we do for health plans, and we’re looking for a Forward Deployed Data Engineer to help us do it. As we launch new and expanded service offerings, we’re putting multidisciplinary teams directly alongside our clients—pairing healthcare subject matter experts, AI and product engineers, and forward-deployed data engineers, each bringing a distinct and essential skill set—to solve their hardest data challenges and deliver value faster than ever. This is a chance to be part of that build from the start.

In this role, you will be the hands-on data engineering expert on client-facing work. You will go on-site with clients, dig into their environments and source systems, and design and build the data models, pipelines, and integrations that turn fragmented payer data into a governed, analytics-ready foundation—frequently on Snowflake, where many of our clients are building. You will often step into ambiguous situations—unfamiliar systems, incomplete documentation, competing priorities—and bring the structure, technical judgment, and healthcare fluency to move forward.
