Python Data Engineer

Solace is a healthcare advocacy marketplace that connects patients and families to experts who help them understand and take charge of their personal health

About the Role

As a Python Data Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping Solace’s data infrastructure from the ground up. You’ll design, build, and optimize robust data pipelines that power advanced analytics, machine learning, and business intelligence across the company. From raw data ingestion to elegant dashboards, your work will enable better decision-making and unlock insights that improve healthcare outcomes for patients.

You are a hands-on engineer who loves solving hard problems with clean code. You take pride in your craft, think deeply about data architecture, and thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where you can make a big impact. Whether it’s designing a complex SQL transformation, optimizing a data model, or collaborating with cross-functional partners, you’re always focused on building trusted, high-quality data products that scale.

About Solace

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes.

We're a Series B startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, and Signalfire. Our fully remote U.S. team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.

Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.
