Data Engineer

Surgo Health is building the Behavioral Intelligence layer for healthcare — revealing why people behave as they do, predicting what they will do next, and helping organizations make the decisions that change outcomes.

A Public Benefit Corporation grounded in two decades of global health experience, Surgo generates foundational behavioral data that reveals the unseen why and builds the AI products that power decision-grade insights at population scale — equipping healthcare organizations, funders, and public agencies to act on what actually shapes health outcomes: people's beliefs, motivations, and barriers.

Backed by 40+ peer-reviewed publications and trusted by partners including the Gates Foundation, J&J, Takeda, Pivotal Ventures, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative, Surgo is building a future where healthcare organizations don't just understand human behavior, but anticipate it.

We are looking for a Data Engineer to join the R&D Engineering team building Derin, our AI-powered interview platform. Derin runs conversational, LLM-led interviews over WhatsApp/SMS, web and voice, and turns thousands of conversations into structured data that our scientists and clients use to ultimately improve patients’ outcomes.

You will own the data layer behind all of this: the pipelines that move interview data from our application into our Databricks lakehouse, the models that make it analysis-ready, and the serving layer (Postgres/Lakebase) that our product reads from in real time. You will work side by side with backend engineers, data scientists and product managers, in a small team where your work reaches clients quickly.
