Engineering Manager, Data Engineering
Virta Health is on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people.
As Engineering Manager for Data Engineering, you will lead and grow the team responsible for the data foundations that support Virta’s business, care delivery, and AI capabilities. You will take over an established team with deep technical and business knowledge and help shape its next stage of growth. The team is composed of both Data Engineers (platform) and Analytics Engineers (models). You will be accountable for reliable pipelines, platform tooling, and engineering standards, as well as reusable analytical models, semantic definitions, and the Looker experiences that help people make decisions. Both disciplines are core to the role, with distinct skills and career paths to develop.
Your initial priorities will be completing our data and analytics modernization, expanding self-service, and enabling agents and ML to use trusted data. Our stack includes BigQuery, dbt Cloud, and Looker/LookML. You will work directly with stakeholders to understand their needs, set priorities, and measure adoption. Strong engineers will be your partners in delivery; you should be comfortable getting into the technical details when decisions or problems require it.
