About the role

Our engineering organization has tripled in size over a short period, and we are seeking a Director of Engineering to set the strategic direction and organizational structure for this next stage of growth demands.
This is an engineering leadership role with ownership across our entire engineering organization - application scaling and delivery, new product development powered by cutting-edge AI and LLM methodologies, and our core platform.
This role is central to our value-based contracting strategy, working directly with senior leadership and major accounts to help realize and demonstrate substantial business value.

Own full people management responsibilities across your organization: performance reviews, conflict resolution, career progression, and hiring
Build and scale a high-performing engineering organization, growing headcount thoughtfully as the org expands
Drive the roadmap and delivery across the full engineering organization, including application scaling and delivery, new product development, and our core platform.
Lead modernization of the platform to support a scaling application layer
Manage and develop the managers and functional leads across your organization
Partner with executive leadership to align roadmaps and priorities across Applications and Platform
Support client accounts' engineering needs, helping the business prove out value-based contract commitments
The Director will lead through a team of technical leaders, shaping org-wide roadmap priorities, resourcing, and technical direction rather than running any single team day-to-day.
We are looking for a proven, sustained engineering leader with a track record of building and scaling engineering organizations and developing managers into stronger leaders.

10-15+ years of engineering experience, including sustained, 4+ years of ongoing experience as a people manager
Track record of growing a team from a small group to 10+ people
Experience managing 10-15+ engineers, either directly or through other managers
Strong technical breadth across backend engineering, applied AI/ML, and platform or distributed systems, with experience taking applications into production

Experience at both a big tech company and a growth-stage startup
Prior experience leading engineering for a health-tech business (not required, but a plus)
Experience operating in value-based or outcomes-based contract environments
Familiarity with modern LLM tooling and methodologies
Experience partnering with account or business leadership on high-stakes, high-value client relationships
performance management, conflict resolution, and career development
