Lead Health Data Engineer

YOUR TEAM

Nuna's product offerings enable delivery of value-based care contracts, at scale across the United States. Value-based healthcare aims to shift reimbursement from fee-for-service to fee-for-value where providers are incentivized to deliver higher quality care to their patients at a lower cost. It is incredibly difficult to operationalize value-based arrangements due to the variability in both contract configurations and measurement of health outcomes. The Health Data Engineering team is accountable for creating automated and scalable tools for analysts to accurately and efficiently implement complex value-based care programs.
