About the Company
- At Nuna, we are building an AI health coach that shows up like a person who actually has time: available at 3am, infinitely patient, and never behind a waiting room.
- We use motivational interviewing to help patients and their families see themselves clearly, design experiments that fit their real lives, and navigate a system that has not historically been on their side.
- We are building from the ground up around a simple belief: patients don't want to be healthy; they want their lives back.
- We're not competing with other health apps. We're competing with the moment a person gives up on getting better.
- The data team at Nuna is an interdisciplinary group spanning data science, machine learning, data analytics, actuarial science, and research.
- Within it, data engineering is the technical backbone which creates the architecture, platform, and operations that everything else is built on.
- You'll work shoulder to shoulder with both scientists and engineers, on a team led by a data scientist.
- That means the platform you build isn't an abstraction: it serves real modeling, research, and analytics needs, and you'll see exactly who depends on it and why.
Equal Opportunity
- Nuna is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.
- All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetics and/or veteran status.
