🌊 About Sailor Health

America is undergoing one of the largest demographic shifts in its history as the Baby Boomer generation enters its later years. This shift will put unprecedented pressure on Medicare, which already spends more than $1 trillion each year caring for older adults. Yet the healthcare system is built backwards: reactive instead of preventative, measuring years of life instead of the quality of them.

Sailor Health is building a new care model for aging. We combine behavioral health, healthcare advocacy, wellness classes, and AI care agents into one virtual platform designed for older adults. AI coaches help patients navigate their health between visits, while AI copilots give providers the tools to deliver higher-quality, better-informed care. We partner with Medicare to make our platform affordable and accessible to older adults nationwide.

Sailor has exceptional product-market fit:

• Exponential growth: We are honored to serve thousands of patients across all 50 states, with strong organic demand helping make Sailor one of the fastest-growing companies in healthcare.

• AI-powered, deeply human care: We harness the power of AI while keeping human connection at the center of care, creating an experience that feels personal, continuous, and deeply human.

• Talent-dense team: We are a 25-person team in our NYC office and are backed by the founders of Ramp, Nourish, Headway, Charlie Health, and Spring Health.

⭐ About the Role

We’re hiring our first Founding Data & Analytics Engineer to architect and scale Sailor’s data foundation, powering everything from clinical insights to AI copilots. You’ll work closely with our co-founders, clinicians, and engineers to build the pipelines and analytics that fuel care delivery and decision-making.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to build an AI-first data stack from scratch at a startup with extreme PMF. You’ll design the data models that measure patient outcomes, automate operations, and unlock intelligence across our platform.

We're honestly looking for a bit of a unicorn: someone who can architect pipelines like a data engineer, ship web apps like a product engineer, and reason about the business like a founder.

💻 What You’ll Do

• Create data-powered web apps to solve tangible business problems

• Build pipelines in Snowflake and dbt that unify data from EHR, CRM, and communication systems

• Develop AI and ML-driven analyses of therapy transcripts and patient data
