About Proscia

Pathology is at the center of medicine and is undergoing a profound transformation as the final frontier of digitization in healthcare. We started Proscia to accelerate pathology’s transition from microscope to images, and to use AI to change the way we think about cancer. We can’t change medicine alone. That’s why we’re looking for curious thinkers. Big dreamers. Developers, evangelists, pathologists, and scientists. Exceptional talent to help us use AI for good and advance humankind.

 

At Proscia, we push the limits of medicine and technology, solving problems the world has never solved before. We build software used by thousands of scientists and pathologists, who work on the front lines of fighting cancer for patients globally. To accelerate our vision, Proscia has raised over $100M in capital from world-class healthcare and technology investors.

 

About this Position

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will contribute to Proscia’s growing Real World Data (RWD) business, which operates as a “startup within a startup.” In this entrepreneurial environment, you will help build and scale innovative data solutions that drive better outcomes for cancer patients and support cutting-edge research into therapies and drug regimens. Success in this role requires independence, adaptability, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams while maintaining alignment with broader engineering initiatives.

 

What You’ll Do

Working at a startup like Proscia means wearing many hats, but when you come to work, you can expect to focus on the following:

 

  • Develop and refine data pipelines in collaboration with the RWD team and customers, ensuring seamless extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data from customer systems into Proscia’s repositories.
  • Work independently to identify and implement process improvements, such as automating manual data migration tasks to accelerate data flows.
  • Design, build, and optimize API integrations, including REST and event-driven/pub-sub architectures, to enable real-time data ingestion, transfer, and quantification.
  • Modify and create Python scripts to allow customers to efficiently upload data, including images, metadata, and other formats.
  • Architect data models, data warehouse design patterns and scalable database solutions to support rapidly growing data while ensuring efficient performance and metadata processing.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including the core engineering and AI teams, to align technical strategies and ensure seamless integration of RWD solutions with the larger Proscia platform.
  • Operate with a startup mindset, contributing to the RWD team’s agility and entrepreneurial spirit while delivering high-impact results.


What We’re Seeking

We’re looking for people who are smart, nice, and get stuff done. Proscia thrives on entrepreneurial thinkers who excel in fast-paced, challenging environments and are ready to build the plane while flying it.

Our ideal candidate has:

 

  • 3–5+ years of professional experience with Python scripting for data management.
  • 3+ years of experience with detailed knowledge of data warehouse technical architectures.
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, with a proactive approach to solving problems.
  • Experience with JavaScript and familiarity with modern frameworks (preferred).
  • Proficiency in SQL and/or PostgreSQL.
  • Hands-on experience with REST API development and integrations.
  • Experience in cloud platforms, particularly AWS (preferred).
  • Expertise with Snowflake or similar data warehouse platforms 
  • Software engineering principles testing (definition of unit tests, integration tests), setting up CI/CD pipelines and experience with containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
  • The ability to work independently within a cross-functional team and coordinate effectively across other engineering teams to design and implement high quality data pipelines.
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering (Master’s degree preferred).
  • Experience working in the life sciences/biopharmaceutical industry is a plus.


Beyond Just Work

At Proscia, we want our people to thrive inside and outside the office. Along with competitive pay, we provide comprehensive benefits, flexible schedules, and insurance options to promote long-term health and personal growth.

 

Our creative, collaborative office environment in Philadelphia is designed for agility, complete with writable walls and breakout spaces. Remote teammates stay connected through innovative collaboration tools and regular opportunities for in-person interaction.

 

We celebrate diversity and foster a culture where everyone belongs. Proscia is proud to be an equal-opportunity workplace.
