What is Datavant?

Datavant is a health-data connectivity company that makes health data secure, accessible, and usable across the fragmented US healthcare system. The original Datavant was founded in 2014 by Travis May, incubated out of Roivant Sciences, around privacy-preserving technology (patient tokenization and de-identification) that lets health records be linked across organizations without exposing personal identity. In 2021 Datavant merged with Ciox Health, a large clinical-data and health-records-retrieval company backed by New Mountain Capital, in a deal that valued the combined company at roughly $7B and created one of the largest neutral health-data-exchange networks in the world. Today Datavant connects an ecosystem that moves patient records between thousands of organizations, spanning 70,000+ hospitals and clinics, 70% of the 100 largest US health systems, and 500+ real-world-data partners across providers, life sciences, payers, and government. Kyle Armbrester became CEO in May 2024 (previously CEO of Signify Health); Travis May, who led the original company, moved on to found Lasso and other ventures. Datavant crossed well over $1B in annual revenue with positive cash flow by early 2025. The company is remote-first, with a headquarters registered in San Francisco but a genuinely distributed workforce of more than 7,000 employees.

Mission & values

Connect the world's health data to improve patient outcomes, by making it secure, accessible, and usable across every organization that touches a patient's care.

Qualifications

Datavant hires across engineering (backend, distributed systems, data platform, security and privacy, ML, frontend, mobile, SRE), product, design, data science, clinical-data operations, health-information management (medical records specialists, release-of-information roles carried over from the Ciox side), professional services, sales, sales engineering, customer success, marketing, compliance, finance, legal, and people operations. Application flow lives at datavant.com/careers. Datavant is remote-first: the large majority of corporate and engineering roles are fully remote within the US, and the company operates without a mandatory office. Some health-information-management and records-processing roles (from the Ciox lineage) may be tied to specific facilities or hybrid arrangements. Given the product handles protected health information, security, privacy, and HIPAA-compliance experience is highly valued, and background checks are standard.
