Healthcare nonprofit serving people with developmental disabilities across clinical, research, and advocacy
Catalight operates a healthcare nonprofit with dual technical and operational complexity: a full modern cloud stack (AWS, Azure, GCP) paired with enterprise finance and HR systems (Workday, NetSuite, Adaptive Planning), but hiring skews heavily clinical and finance (8 of 15 active roles) rather than data or engineering (2 combined). The gap between technical sophistication and lean engineering capacity suggests infrastructure is mostly buy-not-build, with current focus on operational consolidation (Workday implementation, finance process streamlining) rather than product innovation.
