Big Data Engineer

At Ksana Health, we are committed to providing personalized digital mental health tools that help people live better lives. Our innovative research and mental health care solutions are digitally transforming how mental health care is delivered, making it continuous and seamless across all levels. Through best-in-class passive and continuous remote monitoring, individualized insights, and digital therapeutics we are making care more accessible, scalable, and effective. We are also committed to health equity, both in treating mental health on par with physical health and by helping underserved populations receive effective and affordable care.

About the Role

Ksana Health is in the advanced stages of developing a digital mental health care platform – Vira. The platform is based on many years of technology development and research at the University of Oregon’s Center for Digital Mental Health that has been supported by multiple grants from the NIH and other sources. Ksana has recently integrated these methods into the Vira Health Care Solution, which is a digitally enhanced mental health care system consisting of user/patient smartphone applications and associated health care practitioner portals. The scalability of these tools is enhanced by the fact that no special equipment is required outside the consumer devices people already own (i.e., their personal smartphone).

As we grow our business, Ksana is seeking a Big Data Engineer. Your contribution to the mission is key. You will be responsible for building and maintaining data solutions across our web and mobile platforms and architecting the end-to-end datastreams. You will be working closely with a team of Cloud, Full Stack, Software Engineers and Data Scientists. Our stack features some of the most exciting technologies out there, including a wild number of AWS services.

This is more than just a coding role. You will have the chance to use your expertise and knowledge to discuss the architecture of the platform we are building, and its evolution. Your experience with user-centered design and agile practices will be a plus.
