About Machinify Machinify is a leading healthcare intelligence company formed through the combination of five payment integrity industry leaders: The Rawlings Group, Apixio Payment Integrity, VARIS, Machinify's AI platform, and Performant Healthcare. Backed by New Mountain Capital and valued at approximately $5 billion, we serve over 60 health plans including many of the top 20, representing more than 160 million lives. We are building a unified AI-powered platform that transforms healthcare payments by combining revolutionary technology, clinical expertise, and rich data assets to deliver unmatched value, transparency, and efficiency across the payment continuum. Position Summary We are hiring a Senior Technical Data Product Manager to drive the data product roadmap in close partnership with data engineering and architecture leadership. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Product Management for Platform & Data, you will work alongside the VP of Data Engineering, CTO, and technical leads to translate business needs into product requirements and coordinate execution across teams. This role requires someone exceptional at three critical capabilities: deeply understanding complex current state, envisioning and defining compelling future state, and executing at extraordinary velocity to bridge the two. The right candidate will rapidly assess the landscape, build credibility across technical teams, and ship measurable value quickly-we expect clear thinking on product direction within the first 90 days and demonstrable impact on team velocity shortly after. You will partner with data engineering, data science, and platform engineering leadership to define and deliver data products and capabilities that enable product teams across coordination of benefits, subrogation, audit, pharmacy payment integrity, and complex claims solutions. You will serve as the connective tissue between business requirements and technical execution, coordinating the consolidation of disparate legacy systems into modern, unified infrastructure while enabling new product capabilities. This is a hands-on technical role requiring prior experience as a data engineer, data scientist, or analytics engineer. You must be comfortable writing SQL, reviewing data architectures, and engaging substantively in technical discussions. You will work across multiple legacy platforms, each with different technologies, cultures, and tribal knowledge-requiring exceptional ability to influence without direct authority. Core Responsibilities Product Strategy and Planning
Execution and Coordination
Technical Collaboration and Product Enablement
What You'll Work On You will partner with data engineering, data science, and platform teams on initiatives such as: Data consolidation and unification across legacy platforms-working with engineering teams to coordinate migrations to unified infrastructure while maintaining production stability and enabling parallel product development Canonical data model development-collaborating with data engineering and data science leadership to define product requirements for production-ready models covering medical claims, pharmacy claims, eligibility, and other core healthcare entities Platform modernization-contributing product perspective to technical evaluations and roadmaps for lakehouse adoption, OLAP/OLTP separation, real-time processing capabilities, and distributed architecture patterns AI-powered automation-partnering with technical teams to evaluate and implement LLM-based approaches that accelerate ETL development, data transformation, and migration workflows Data discovery and cataloging-working with engineering to define requirements for capabilities that help teams understand what data exists, where it lives, how to access it, and what it means Product team enablement-ensuring downstream product teams can successfully consume data platform capabilities through clear interfaces, comprehensive documentation, and responsive support These represent current focus areas but the role will evolve based on business priorities, strategic direction, and technical roadmap. Required Qualifications Experience Requirements
Technical Skills (Must-Have)
Product Management Excellence (Must-Have)
Critical Success Factors Current State Mastery: Exceptional ability to rapidly understand complex legacy systems-navigating five different platforms with different data models, ETL patterns, and team cultures to discover how things actually work Future State Vision: Can envision target architectures that will scale 10-100x beyond current state, articulate why they matter, and define pragmatic paths to get there Execution Velocity: Move with extraordinary speed from analysis to decision to implementation. Bias toward shipping 80% solutions today over 95% solutions next quarter. Understand that speed is a competitive advantage. AI-Augmented Productivity: Active, sophisticated use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, etc.) to accelerate analysis, generate SQL, synthesize information, draft documentation, and make faster decisions than traditional approaches Technical Credibility: Data engineering and data science teams respect you because you can engage substantively in architectural discussions, understand their constraints, and spot issues before they become problems Cross-Boundary Navigation: Excel at finding critical information across disparate systems and tribal knowledge; build trust across teams with different cultures and priorities; serve as connective tissue in high-pressure environments Systems Thinking: Understand second and third-order effects of architectural decisions across platform, products, and operations Preferred Qualifications
Why This Role Matters Transformational Impact: Your work enables product teams serving 160M+ lives to ship faster and unlocks significant business value across coordination of benefits, subrogation, audit, and payment integrity Technical Depth: Engage substantively in cutting-edge architecture decisions-lakehouse formats, distributed systems, real-time processing, LLM-powered automation-not just coordinate meetings Unique Challenge: Navigate five legacy platforms with different data models, technologies, and cultures-partnering with technical leadership to shape unified future state in a once-in-career data consolidation opportunity Execution Autonomy: We value speed over process. Fast decision-making and shipping results matter more than perfect planning AI-First Environment: We use Claude, LLMs, and AI-powered tools extensively throughout the organization. You're expected to leverage AI to move faster than traditional approaches Strategic Partnership: Work alongside VP Data Engineering, CTO, and architecture leadership to shape data platform serving dozens of product teams and supporting a $5B healthcare intelligence platform Team and Culture Reporting Structure: Sr. Director of Product Management, Platform & Data Key Partnerships:
You will work in close partnership with the VP of Data Engineering and CTO, bringing the product lens to technical strategy discussions while they own engineering execution and technical architecture. Your role is to translate business needs into product requirements, coordinate across teams, and ensure data initiatives deliver value to product organizations. Culture:
