About Ambience

The AI partner built for clinicians, backed by 3x ROI. Turn frontier intelligence into measurable clinical, quality, and financial outcomes. Backed by a16z, Kleiner Perkins and 500 Global.

About the role

Ambience runs on data: which clinicians are adopting the product, how much time it saves them, whether documentation quality holds up across specialties. Getting those answers right—and getting them fast, reproducibly, and in a form a customer can verify—is a hard data engineering problem, and it's the one you'll own.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in a production Data Engineering role, with hands-on Snowflake experience (data modeling, performance tuning, warehouse administration)
  • Strong SQL skills and proficiency in Python, experience building ETL/ELT pipelines, data lakes, or warehouses in modern cloud environments
  • Solid grasp of data validation, schema design, and scalable architecture
  • A clear communicator who can bridge technical and non-technical teams, gather requirements, and present to cross-functional stakeholders
  • Mission-driven, thrives in a fast-paced startup environment, and takes ownership of deliverables
  • Nice-to-haves: early-stage startup experience, background in regulated industries (healthcare, finance), and familiarity with dbt, orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster), or BI tools (Looker, Tableau, Mode)
