The Role
As a Data Ingestion Engineer, you will design and build the systems that pull health data from a diverse and growing set of sources — wearables (Apple Health, Fitbit, Oura, Whoop, etc.), connected medical devices (glucose monitors, BP cuffs, ECG patches), lab and diagnostic feeds, EHR / HL7-FHIR systems, and patient-reported data — and land it reliably into Nickel's platform in a form doctors and downstream systems can trust.
You will work at the intersection of high-volume streaming data, healthcare interoperability standards, and strict data integrity requirements — building pipelines where "mostly correct" is not positive enough, because a doctor may be making a call based on your data.

What You'll Do
Design, build, and operate ingestion pipelines for structured and unstructured health data from multiple device APIs, third-party health platforms, and clinical data sources
Build integrations with wearable/device SDKs and health data standards (Apple HealthKit, Google Health Connect, HL7/FHIR, DICOM where relevant)




Architect for reliability at the edges — handling intermittent connectivity, device data gaps, duplicate/out-of-order events, and vendor API instability gracefully
Implement data validation, normalization, and schema management so heterogeneous sources land in a consistent, queryable format
Build real-time and batch ingestion paths depending on data criticality (e.g., an arrhythmia alert vs. a weekly step count)
Work closely with platform, ML, and clinical product teams to understand what "usable" data looks like for diagnostic and care-decision use cases
Own data quality, lineage, and observability for your pipelines — you'll know when something's wrong before a doctor does
Implement ingestion in a way that's compliant with healthcare data privacy requirements (HIPAA and equivalent Indian data protection standards)

What We're Looking For
3–7 years of experience building data pipelines, ideally with high-volume, real-time, or IoT/device data
