Human API | Tech Lead - Platform, Sr. Data Engineer, Sr. API Software Engineer | San Mateo, CA | ONSITE | https://humanapi.co/careers

Make a difference with technology: specifically, by helping to fix healthcare. We're building a real-time data network that allows getting health data from anywhere to anywhere in close to realtime. We roll up this data in a clean RESTful API that developers use to build apps that make peoples' lives better.

Human API is an early stage company that is disrupting the healthcare space. We are well-funded, generating revenue, and backed by blue-chip VC's, including Andreessen Horowitz and Blue Run Ventures. We have a whole pile of fun, interesting problems, and a team of smart, passionate people that love working on them. We like to work iteratively in small teams, and to give people autonomy and ownership to solve those problems.

Some of the things you'd be working on:

  - Mapping, modeling and indexing the world's healthcare data
  - Scaling and optimizing our ​API Network (35K+ Data Sources and growing!)
  - Modeling human health
  - Scaling ​and optimizing a platform handling 10's of millions events/day
  - Data engineering and building tools for data science
  - NLP and Classification
  - Extracting healthcare data from a wide variety of unstructured, unclean formats
Open positions include:

​Tech Lead ​- Core Technology​ Sr. Data Engineer ​Sr. API Software Engineer More information here: https://humanapi.co/company/join

The process: a quick phone screen,​ then an ​onsite to meet with the team and pair with someone on a problem.

We'd love to hear from you even if you don't "fit" one of the job specs -- we hire for people, not roles.

I have worked at Human API as a software engineer for about 7 months now and I love it. - Everyone is friendly and easy to work with - The working environment is positive - There are plenty of opportunities to branch out and take ownership over important problems

I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has about life at Human API!
