**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** NIVA Corporate

## Description

**This role is for you if you enjoy building real data solutions end-to-end — not just one piece of the puzzle.**

At NIVA Health, we’re growing our data capability and looking for a **Full-Stack Data Engineer** who’s comfortable working across the full data lifecycle:  
from pulling data in, cleaning it up, building pipelines — all the way through to dashboards and usable insights.

You won’t be boxed into a single lane.  
You’ll work on the **back end and the front end of data**, alongside a collaborative team, solving practical problems that impact healthcare operations every day.

### **What you’ll be working on**

You’ll help design, build, and maintain data solutions that power reporting and decision-making across the business.

That includes:

-   Building and maintaining data pipelines using **Google Cloud Platform** (BigQuery, Cloud Functions, Cloud Composer, Cloud Scheduler).
-   Cleaning, transforming, and organising data from multiple sources (APIs, spreadsheets, internal systems).
-   Automating ETL / ELT workflows to improve reliability and efficiency.
-   Writing **Python (and some Bash)** scripts to support data processing and internal tools.
-   Building and maintaining dashboards and KPI reports using **Looker Studio** (and supporting data visualisation needs).
-   Preparing datasets for simple predictive or forecasting use cases as the team evolves.

This is a **hands-on role** — you’ll be writing code, fixing issues, improving pipelines, and seeing your work used by real teams.

## Requirements

### **You’ll be a great fit if**

-   You have **2+ years’ experience** in data engineering, analytics engineering, data science, or software engineering.
-   You’re comfortable working with **GCP**, especially **BigQuery**.
-   You use **Python** confidently for data processing and automation.
-   You have solid **SQL** skills and understand data modelling basics.
-   You’ve built or maintained data pipelines before (batch or streaming).
-   You’ve worked with dashboards or BI tools (Looker / Looker Studio preferred).
-   You enjoy working across both technical backend tasks and user-facing reporting.

### **Nice to have**

-   Experience with **Apache Airflow / Cloud Composer**.
-   Exposure to **Apache Beam**.
-   Familiarity with **Vertex AI**, AutoML, or basic ML workflows.
-   Experience supporting operational or healthcare data.

### **Salary**

$1500 - $1800  
Final offer will depend on experience and technical depth.
