Full Job Description
## Description Nimble, a Swoop company, is a healthtech company on a mission to simplify access, understanding and management of healthcare. We are starting by building the largest, most loved pharmacy business in the world. We are a fast-growing, technology-first startup driven by perfecting the patient and pharmacist experience. Nimble fosters a culture of collaboration, open communication and deliberate action that allows us to face today’s most exciting challenges head-on and grow incredibly quickly. * Sponsorship options are limited as Nimble does not have an entity established in Canada. As a Senior Data Engineer, you will own Nimble's data platform — the layer that every other team builds on to understand the business, ship product features, and meet our compliance obligations. The work scales beyond you: what you build once accelerates product, analytics, ops, and data science for years. The role lives at the intersection of production engineering and data engineering, and the test of your work is whether other teams move faster because of it. This is an opportunity to be rewarded for hard technical work on a problem that genuinely matters. Our engineering culture: We operate with shared trust and no egos. We enjoy being "in this together" and collaborating on the challenges of a rapidly scaling business. We live out our company values of curiosity, ownership, simplicity, and a get-it-done mentality. Open to Senior or Lead. What matters is what you could build, not your current title. ## You will Own the data platform end-to-end — ingestion, transformation, storage, query, and access — and drive its roadmap as the company's data needs grow Build and evolve batch and streaming pipelines on PySpark/EMR, Kinesis, Lambda, and Step Functions, ingesting from Postgres, Salesforce, third-party vendors, and product event streams into our Iceberg-based lake Model the warehouse: design SCD tables, event tables, and the conventions other engineers and analysts fol
