Senior Data Engineer

About Us

Valo Health is a technology company that is integrating human-centric data and AI-powered technology to accelerate the creation of life-changing drugs for more patients faster. Valo was created with the belief that the drug discovery and development process can and should be faster and less expensive, with a much higher probability of success. We are using models early to fail less often, executing clinical trials to add valuation to the company, and generating fit-for-purpose data to feed back into Valo’s Opal Computational Platform™ as we reinvent drug discovery and development from the ground up. Disease doesn’t wait, so neither can we.

About the Role

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will design and implement scalable, high-quality data systems at Valo. You will define core data schemas, standardize ingestion workflows, and help lay the foundation for a scalable, governed and FAIR-compliant data platform. This role sits at the intersection of data science and software engineering, with broad exposure to scientific use cases.  A key part of your work will be helping make our foundational data platform as self-service as possible, empowering teams to follow best practices without friction.

Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable data pipelines and ingestion workflows.
• Define and maintain schemas and tables in Snowflake and other systems.
• Create reusable templates for data ingestion processes.
• Build self-service tools and interfaces that help teams access and use data correctly and efficiently.
• Write clean, maintainable and contribute to CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with data science and software engineering teams on shared infrastructure and tooling.

Background

• 5+ years of experience in data or software engineering.
• Strong foundation in computer science; degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Proficient in Python, SQL, and modern cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, etc).
• Proven experience designing data pipelines and scalable data architectures.
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake and cloud-based data ecosystems.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tool and automated workflows.

You Might Also Bring

• Domain knowledge in biotech or life sciences.
• Experience building and maintaining data pipelines in air-gapped environments.
• Experience building governance frameworks from scratch using FAIR principles.
• A strong bias towards cross-functional collaboration.
