About Translucent AI

Agentic AI platform delivering real-time visibility and root cause identification for healthcare finance. Give your lean team leverage to move the margin. Backed by GV.

About the role

We're hiring a Forward Deployed Analytics Engineer to join our team in New York. You will sit at the intersection of our customers' financial and clinical data and the agentic AI systems we are building on top of it. Working within our managed data pipeline, you will reverse-engineer customer-specific business rules, build the transformations that map raw customer data into our unified ontology and semantic layer, and hold the bar for correctness on everything that flows through it.

What they're looking for

  • Comfort reverse-engineering messy or under-documented business logic directly from source systems
  • Strong SQL — this is the primary tool of the role, and we expect real fluency, not familiarity. Bonus points for BigQuery SQL experience
  • Experience working inside a modern data platform (Databricks, Snowflake, Fabric, BigQuery, or similar) as a hands-on user
  • Experience with dbt-style transformation tooling (we use SQLMesh) including model contracts and layered/medallion architectures, comfort working in transformation-as-code workflows including testing and validation
  • Track record of owning a data pipeline or transformation layer end-to-end, not just contributing to one someone else built
  • Solid data modeling and pipeline instincts: comfortable reasoning about schemas, normalization vs. denormalization, modeling complex domain entities and operating a data pipeline
More about this role

Healthcare providers drive $2.5 trillion in medical expenditures annually — and operate on razor-thin 2–5% margins. Despite these stakes, the finance teams behind these organizations are buried in spreadsheets, manual data pulls, and disconnected systems, spending more time finding and cleaning data than actually using it to make decisions.

Translucent is changing that. We're building the agentic AI platform designed exclusively for healthcare finance — giving every finance team, department, service line their own arsenal of AI Agents that run 24/7, understand their specific data, business logic, and workflows.

Founded in 2024 and backed by GV, NEA, FPV, and Virtue, we've already been deployed by healthcare organizations managing over $5 billion in combined revenue. The product-market fit is real, the problem is massive, and we're just getting started. If you want to work at the intersection of AI and one of the most complex, consequential industries in the world — this is the place.
