Data Engineering has teams that are responsible for collecting, curating, normalizing and matching data from hundreds of disparate sources from around the globe. Data sources include scientific publications, clinical trials, conference presentations and claims among others. In addition to developing the necessary data pipelines to keep every piece of information updated in real-time and provide the users with relevant insights, the teams are also building automated, scalable and low-latency systems for the recognition and linking of various types of entities, such as linking researchers and physicians to their scholarly research and clinical trials. As we rapidly expand the markets we serve and the breadth and depth of data we want to collect for our customers, the team must grow and scale to meet that demand.
