Job Description
ABOUT US
Foodsmart is the leading telenutrition and foodcare solution, backed by a robust network of Registered Dietitians. Our platform is designed to foster healthier food choices, drive lasting behavior change, and deliver long-term health outcomes. Through our highly personalized, digital platform, we guide our 2.2 million members—including those in employer-sponsored health plans, regional and national Medicaid managed care organizations, Medicare Advantage plans, and commercial insurers—on a tailored journey to eating well while saving time and money.
Foodsmart seamlessly integrates dietary assessments and nutrition counseling with online food ordering and cost-effective meal planning for the entire family. We partner with national and regional retailers across the U.S., many of whom accept SNAP/EBT, making healthier food more accessible. In 2024, Foodsmart secured a $200 million investment from TPG's Rise Fund to help expand our reach, particularly to low-income workers disproportionately affected by diet-related diseases.
Our core values:
👥 Customer First — You start with the member and work backwards.
🚀 Make It Happen — You act with urgency, use data, and hold high standards.
🤝 One Team — You collaborate with respect and commit as a group.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Data is the lifeblood of Foodsmart. It empowers our executive leadership to steer the business, enables clinical teams to validate member health outcomes, and ensures our health plan partners can hold us to the highest standards. Because our AI-driven insights are only as dependable as the infrastructure supporting them, we require a dedicated architect to lead this foundational work.
We are seeking a Senior Manager of Data Platform to take end-to-end ownership of our data lifecycle: from the moment information lands in our warehouse to its final modeling and delivery to the stakeholders and systems driving our mission forward.
In this role, you will architect the platform’s reliability and performance, managing pipeline orchestration, our dbt project, and the foundational models that keep BI, experimentation, and AI tools synchronized. You will navigate a complex domain involving medical claims, clinical outcomes, and multi-payer eligibility for 2.2 million members, all within a strict HIPAA-compliant environment. To achieve this, you will lead and mentor a senior, distributed data engineering team comprising both domestic and offshore talent.
You will serve as a strategic peer to the Analytics & Data Science team. Together, you will define the architectural vision for our data foundation, ensuring a seamless handoff where they build downstream analytics on the standards you establish. Success in this role requires maintaining a clear, documented boundary between core platform systems and analytics engineering to eliminate ambiguity in ownership.
As a hands-on technical leader, you will focus on scaling the platform through your team’s capabilities rather than individual output. You are a systems thinker who prioritizes fixing the class of problem over the instance, creating durable capabilities that accelerate every downstream team. You will drive excellence through rigorous design reviews and architectural discipline.
Your impact will span the entire organization, partnering with Analytics, Finance, and cross-functional pods dedicated to clinical and member-facing challenges. You will make these collaborations effective by conducting standing roadmap reviews and ensuring platform capacity is allocated transparently and strategically, rather than responding to one-off, isolated requests.
