KNOW YOUR IMPACT

Join a revolution in healthcare data

"There's a lot of opportunity in healthcare to become more customer-centric," Zain Jafri said. And there's more at stake than great user experiences: more personalization can create better health outcomes. Traditionally, gathering the data necessary to build tailored services has been tricky in healthcare: Information can be siloed, messy and complex. But that's changing, and Jafri's team is leading the charge. With cloud technology and big data tools like Spark, Pareto deftly combines healthcare and consumer data, allowing for greater transparency, better solutions and healthier patients.

We’re actively making a transition toward using the latest, rapidly evolving big data tools and technology to power our solutions and analytics.

CURIOSITY REIGNS

Learn something new. Then share it.

Want a job that will help you broaden your horizons, even if those horizons aren't completely aligned with what you're working on? That's the norm at Pareto, said Meredith Keesling. In fact, the team has a recurring event around knowledge-sharing called "Snacks and Facts," where employees take turns presenting something they're interested in, from coding languages to robotics. Because employees are encouraged to attend conferences and industry events, Snacks and Facts provides a space for techies to introduce new best practices, methodologies and technologies the team could use in the future.

At Pareto, you can look forward to not being siloed in your role and having access to learning opportunities across the company.

SLEEK SOLUTIONS

Spend more time building, less time fixing

It's no secret that healthcare is complicated. There are security and privacy considerations, digital and paper records to navigate, regulations to observe and so much more. Why add to the complexity with tech debt or clunky code? "A lot of the work we're doing right now is optimization of our existing products," Clayton Fyfe said. "Seeing that internal reinvestment assures me I'm in the right place." The practice of continuous improvement also creates opportunities for any employee to speak up with new ideas, resulting in faster, simpler solutions with greater impact and longevity.

Whether it’s a point made during our sprint retrospectives or a spontaneous direct message, every person here has a say in how we evolve as a company.

An Insider's view of Pareto Intelligence

What are some social events your company does?

One of the best parts of being on the Pareto team is spending time with coworkers outside of work. We go on a yearly brewery tour, monthly team dinners and happy hours. We also join the larger firm for other events such as a Cub’s Rooftop and annual golf outing, where we spend a day golfing and grilling out at one of the partners’ summer home.

Austin

Client Advisory Manager

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

Being full time remote and new to the team, you would think collaboration would be a challenge, but at Pareto it’s been a seamless experience working with other teams. Everyone is just a ping or email away and more than willing to set up meetings in order to solve problems and support our clients.

Abby Tsui

Product Manager

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

I started as an intern without much big data or minor tech experience. Now, I am a Senior Data Operations Engineer on a team the company relies on for expertise and analysis on all healthcare data we receive. Pareto has given me the resources and opportunities to not only grow my technical skills, but also my knowledge of the healthcare industry.

Asad

Senior Data Operations Engineer

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

Spending time face-to-face with my team is important to me. I make a point to visit my team at their work spaces and catch up periodically. I’ll spend my lunch breaks in the café or going out to lunch with different people. Plus, my team knows that my door is always open for them, too.

John

CEO

What projects are you most excited about?

What I am most excited about at Pareto are the projects that bridge the gaps between emerging technologies and the delivery of health care services. It is fulfilling to play a role in bringing the two together to support our clients’ initiatives and ultimately improve the health and well-being of people.
