About Fira Health
Fira Health builds AI-native infrastructure to automate the administrative backbone of healthcare. We’re starting with home health, helping agencies reduce overhead, accelerate payments, and focus more on care—not paperwork. Our agentic AI platform integrates directly into providers’ operations, automating complex workflows like insurance verification, prior authorization, and billing.
Fira is backed by top-tier investors and built by a team with deep expertise across healthcare operations, applied AI, and complex workflow automation.
About the Role
We're hiring a Data Engineer to build the data infrastructure that powers business intelligence, operational analytics, and AI-driven decision-making across our platform. You'll design and implement data pipelines, integrate disparate healthcare data sources, and model complex domains like RCM, intake, and clinical operations to enable real-time insights and automation.
A successful Data Engineer at Fira is analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across the full data stack—from raw ingestion to analytics-ready models. You'll have significant ownership over our data architecture and the opportunity to define how we measure, monitor, and optimize every aspect of our operations.
Over time, you'll take end-to-end ownership of our data platform, setting the technical vision for data infrastructure and enabling data-driven insights that shape product and business decisions.
Responsibilities
Qualifications
Preferred:
We are fixing US healthcare by building an AI-native physical care platform, starting with home health.
Home health is a $140B industry with less than $10B in EBITDA — 40% of revenue is spent on pure administrative waste. We automate this work with AI, creating a fundamentally different cost structure compared to incumbents. This lets us rapidly take market share by serving the 30% of patients who go untreated today.
We've built one of the best AI teams in the world (from Character AI, Scale, Palantir, Citadel, Jane Street) and paired them with a team of healthcare veterans and strategists to build a new type of healthcare company: one that delivers care at the speed of an AI company.
Our physical care platform already operates with 30pp higher gross margins than traditional home health providers. With our AI advantage, we pay nurses more, remove their admin burden, and unlock the scale economics that have been missing from this fragmented industry.
We're starting with home health, then expanding to all delivered care. Our mission is "any care, any where".
Fundamentally, our incentives are aligned with America. Every dollar in revenue we make is two dollars taken out of the healthcare system. If we succeed, so does US healthcare.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
