Pelago is the leading specialty substance use care provider, built on the belief that effective treatment means matching care intensity to what each member actually needs rather than defaulting to the most expensive intervention. Our programs guide members through every stage of the substance use spectrum, from unhealthy habits to active use disorders, delivering personalized treatment for tobacco, alcohol, opioid, cannabis, and stimulant use based on individual health, habits, genetics, and goals.
With Sona, our voice-first AI Mental Health Specialist, Pelago now applies that same clinically-driven model to mental health, pairing deep clinical expertise with technology to expand access without compromising care quality. We believe technology should make clinical care more precise and more human, not replace the judgment behind it.
Pelago has scaled to helping hundreds of employers and health plans and has already helped more than 750,000 members better manage their substance use. If you're passionate about AI and making an impact on the health of others, join us and make it happen!
Our Data team sits at the center of how Pelago makes decisions. As we scale, we're building a data function that doesn't just report on the business — it shapes it.
We transform complex healthcare and product data into clean, reliable, well-documented models that power reporting, experimentation, AI initiatives, and day-to-day decision-making across the company. The Senior Analytics Engineer is a key force multiplier on that mission.
We're looking for a Senior Analytics Engineer who brings deep technical craft and the strategic instincts to match. You don't just build data models — you shape how data is defined, interpreted, and used across Pelago.
In this role, you'll drive how data is structured across the company, build the semantic foundations that teams rely on, and bring cross-functional clarity to ambiguous business problems. You operate at the intersection of engineering precision and business judgment, and you're as comfortable influencing stakeholders as writing dbt.
