About the role

  • Cedar is at a meaningful inflection point.
  • The complexity is real, the stakes are high, and the environment is dynamic.
  • Transparently, this role comes with challenges to navigate.

Responsibilities

  • deliver with consistency, develop your people, reduce the organizational thrash that slows everyone down, and ensure the operational quality that our clients, partners, and internal teams depend on.
  • We're building a new enterprise data foundation to power the next generation of AI-driven products and client-facing analytics while simultaneously expanding our integration footprint to support new product lines and go-to-market motions.
  • You're not walking into a well-oiled machine; you're walking into an opportunity to build one.
  • Integration Support Engineering is Cedar's integration reliability team: on-call response, incident management, root cause analysis, and escalation resolution.
  • Grow an effective layer of engineering managers and help them build high-performing, engaged teams.

Requirements

  • 12+ years in software engineering or technical implementation, with meaningful time in data-intensive, integration-heavy, or platform domains.
  • 8+ years in engineering leadership, including 4+ years managing managers, ideally with direct experience overseeing an org of 30+ engineers.
  • You can translate between engineering realities and business priorities without losing either side.
  • Solid technical grounding in integration systems and data. You engage credibly with principals and managers on architecture trade-offs, operational risk, and build-vs-buy decisions. You don't need to be the deepest expert, but you need to know when to push back and when to trust.
  • High tolerance for ambiguity, with a demonstrated talent for reducing it. Cedar moves fast and the environment is genuinely noisy. You don't need a clean brief to start moving. You've thrived in orgs where priorities shift, asks are imperfect, and the path forward requires synthesis rather than instruction. You create structure from chaos without waiting for someone else to hand it to you.
  • Operational instincts. You've owned SLAs, on-call programs, incident management, or client-facing reliability commitments, and you've built the systems and culture to sustain them.
  • Effective cross-functional stakeholder management, including executive presence. You can translate between engineering realities and business priorities without losing either side. You've navigated trade-off conversations with product, finance, and executive audiences, and you're comfortable representing your teams' work, priorities, and risks clearly in front of C-suite leadership.
  • Preferred
  • Healthcare domain experience, particularly in revenue cycle management, EHR data models, or healthcare interoperability (HL7/FHIR). The integration complexity at Cedar is significant, and domain context accelerates both credibility and impact.
  • AI-forward mindset. You believe agentic developer tooling is a genuine force accelerator, not a passing trend, and you set expectations from the front on adoption. You actively model AI-native workflows for your managers and teams, and you create the space and expectation for engineers to integrate these tools into how they build, debug, and ship. You've seen what happens when a team gets this right, and you want to make it happen again.
