We are a rapidly growing healthcare company pioneering the most effective treatment methods for children with neurodevelopmental differences.

All Corticaemployment decisions are made based on an individual's qualifications and ability to successfully perform the job responsibilities.
What will you do?
  • Contribute to well-scoped data engineering tasks within larger projects, following the full engineering lifecycle with guidance.
  • Use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) as part of daily development, verifying, correcting, and testing AI-generated code before committing it.
  • Follow the team's context files (CLAUDE.md equivalents) and conventions so AI-assisted work stays consistent with established patterns.
  • Help build and maintain data pipelines that ingest from AWS, Azure, Salesforce, MuleSoft, and third-party APIs into the AWS Data Lake.
  • Assist in implementing data models using Kimball methodology, learning dimensional modeling on the job.
  • Develop simple orchestration steps in Python, run basic data-quality checks, and help investigate data anomalies.
  • Support Power BI data models and reports and help analytics team members with data questions.
  • Assist with small automation scripts and internal tooling that connect data pipelines to end users.
  • Follow data-security and HIPAA practices in all work and document your work clearly so others (and AI agents) can build on it.
  • Collaborate across IT, finance, clinical operations, and data science.
  • Travel to local Cortica centers may be required from time to time.

We'd love to hear from you if:
  • You hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • You have 0-2 years of experience; have built or contributed to at least 1-2 end-to-end data pipelines (coursework, internship, bootcamp, or personal projects) that ingest, transform, and load data from a source into a destination.
  • You're familiar with using AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot), or have a strong eagerness to adopt AI-first development workflows.
  • You bring 6+ months of hands-on experience or coursework-equivalent Python; able to write scripts that read, clean, and transform data (e.g., using pandas).
  • You have demonstrated an ability to write intermediate SQL - joins across multiple tables, aggregations (GROUP BY), filtering, and basic subqueries.
  • You've had exposure to at least one cloud platform (AWS or Azure); a foundational certification such as AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner or Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) is a plus.
  • You've successfully built at least one dashboard or report in Power BI, Tableau, or a similar tool (academic or personal projects count).
  • You've demonstrated an ability to document technical work clearly and explain it to non-technical audiences; you have experience collaborating across at least 2 teams or functions (e.g., a cross-functional class project, internship, or club).
