Senior Data Platform Engineer

At Sword, we’re building AI to heal billions and unlock humanity’s full potential. In doing so, we’re pioneering AI Care, a fundamentally new approach to healthcare built for medical reasoning, safety, and real-time treatment, not generic technology applied after the fact. As both a clinical-centric frontier AI lab and an applied AI platform, Sword is reimagining how care is delivered at scale, removing traditional barriers like appointments, waiting rooms, and stigma so more people can access the care they need—and ultimately get back to lives lived in full.

Since 2020, Sword has expanded across physical therapy, women’s health, cardiometabolic, and mental health, and is now moving beyond the session to a fully AI-native, 24/7 care program that brings physical activity, therapeutic exercise, psychotherapy, nutrition, and behavior change into one connected experience. More than 700,000 members across three continents have completed over 10 million AI sessions, helping 1,000+ enterprise clients avoid more than $1 billion in unnecessary healthcare costs. Backed by 42 clinical studies, 44+ patents, and more than $500 million raised from leading investors including Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and Founders Fund, Sword is defining a new standard for healthcare.

Role 

At Sword, data powers our mission to build a pain-free world. The Data Platform Team is building the foundation that makes data usable across clinical, operations, AI, and product teams: a modern streaming lakehouse, distributed processing for low-latency data movement, durable workflows coordinating complex operations, and an API-first surface that lets producers and consumers serve themselves — without tickets, without infra context, and increasingly through agentic interfaces.

This role is for an engineer who thinks about data platforms as products. You’ve built or operated data systems at scale, you reason fluently from storage format up to query engine, and you want to shape the self-service and agentic experiences layered on top of that foundation.
