📋 Description

• Lead and grow a distributed product engineering team, fostering a culture of craft, psychological safety, and continuous improvement. • Own engineering quality standards—code review practices, testing philosophy, documentation expectations, and how the team thinks about technical debt. • Drive architectural evolution in partnership with tech leads, including ongoing modernization of our platform and our integrations with AdvanceMD EHR, Salesforce, and third-party insurance and credentialing systems. • Own site reliability: incident response, on-call structure, observability tooling (Datadog), and the broader SRE function as it matures. • Shape how our engineering team adopts agentic coding tools—setting the tone, building guardrails, and developing the internal practices that make AI-assisted development a genuine accelerant. • Partner with Product and Design leadership to influence how work is scoped, sequenced, and executed—ensuring engineering perspective is part of the planning process, not just the delivery. • Own the engineering hiring process end-to-end: defining roles, calibrating candidates, and building a team that raises the collective bar. • Represent engineering in cross-functional leadership conversations, translating technical context into business impact and vice versa. • Build and maintain a healthy, high-trust relationship with your team—creating the conditions for engineers to do the best work of their careers.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 4 years in engineering leadership roles. • Demonstrated success leading distributed engineering teams, including hiring, development, and culture-building. • Hands-on experience with modern web application architectures and the judgment to make sound architectural decisions. • Experience owning or significantly contributing to site reliability, observability, and incident management practices. • Strong cross-functional communication skills—comfortable partnering with Product, Design, Operations, and executive stakeholders. • Preferred Healthcare technology experience, or experience in another regulated industry where compliance, data privacy, and system reliability are foundational. • Familiarity with our core stack: TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, Next.js/React, PostgreSQL. • Experience leading teams through meaningful AI tooling adoption, particularly agentic or LLM-assisted development workflows. • Background in multi-system integration environments (EHR, CRM, payment processing, insurance verification, or similar). • Experience scaling engineering practices in a high-growth company.

🏖️ Benefits

• An amazing team culture • Healthcare, Dental, Vision, and life insurance benefits • 401K with 3% employer match • Paid time off and paid holidays • Additional coverage options are available, such as Short Term Disability, Long Term Disability, and Group Accident Insurance • Professional development & advancement opportunities
