Responsibilities
Lead and scale our engineering organization to a high-performing, distributed team capable of executing on an aggressive multi-platform roadmap while managing technical debt across multiple product lines and technology stacks
Drive platform strategy spanning EHR/eMAR systems, workforce management, AI-driven care intelligence, and data infrastructure—architecting solutions that balance legacy solutions with modern platform evolution and strategic acquisitions integration
Own the technical vision and execution of $1-2M+ multi-year modernization initiatives including database architecture evolution, infrastructure consolidation across AWS environments, authentication unification, and API-first architecture development
Partner directly with the Chief Platform Officer, Product leadership, and executive team to translate business strategy into technical roadmaps, balancing feature delivery velocity against technical debt remediation and infrastructure investments
Establish engineering excellence through mature SDLC practices including CI/CD automation, comprehensive test strategies, code review standards, and metrics-driven productivity frameworks that deliver predictable releases while maintaining system reliability
Build and develop engineering leadership capability across distributed teams by recruiting senior talent, creating career progression frameworks, managing offshore partnerships, and fostering a collaborative culture focused on technical excellence and psychological safety
Lead platform consolidation efforts following acquisitions by integrating heterogeneous technology stacks, unifying authentication and authorization systems, establishing shared services, and creating consistent UX/design systems across product lines
Ensure SOC 2 Type II compliance, PHI/PII security controls, and healthcare data standards (HL7/FHIR) are embedded in engineering practices while managing incident response, third-party security assessments, and continuous compliance requirements
Drive operational excellence by implementing engineering KPIs (velocity, quality, deployment frequency, SLA/SLO metrics), capacity planning frameworks, resource allocation strategies, and dependency management across competing priorities
Champion technology evaluation and strategic decision-making including build-vs-buy analysis, technology stack evolution, infrastructure cost optimization, and emerging technology adoption that advances our platform capabilities
Collaborate with Data Platform and AI/ML teams to support intelligent care initiatives by ensuring engineering practices accommodate real-time systems, high-concurrency architectures, data pipeline integration, and AI feature deployment
Communicate technical vision, risk, and investment rationale to C-suite stakeholders and board members through compelling presentations, business cases, and strategic narratives that align engineering initiatives with business outcomes
