About the role

At Terra, we work with one of the most sensitive data in the industry: Health data. We have to ensure secure handling while extracting insightful information from the billions of data points we ingest.

You will work closely with the product and engineering team to:

  1. Develop and maintain our services monitoring system, including work on anomaly detection.
  2. Improve efficiency and decrease costs within our pipelines for health data handling/storage.
  3. Build models to extract actionable insights requested from customers from Health Data.

As a team of athletes, we all have wearables monitoring our data and are synced to Terra. As a data engineer at Terra, you will have the privilege to test and build with your teammates' data!

We currently use AWS and GCP along with programming languages such as Python and R for data processing. We also work with Open-Telemetry data from services.

What We Value

We believe outstanding engineers don’t need extensive training from big-tech companies but should learn through passion, curiosity, and resourcefulness. They should consider engineering as a craft, continuously refining their skills, solving challenges creatively, and learning from their failures. This dedication to growth and excellence makes you an outstanding engineer.

Must haves:

  1. Must approach engineering as an artisan, treating it as a craft to be perfected.
  2. Must be fast. We operate at 200mph, and so do you.
  3. Must be relentless. We never stop, so you are even faster than us.
