This person will carry projects from initial problem definition through production deployment, operating effectively under conditions of ambiguity and incomplete specification. The technical bar is high — this is first and foremost an engineering role — but the ability to engage at the business layer and translate between technical and commercial realities is equally non-negotiable. This role reports directly to the Director of Strategic Programs and Applied AI and works in close, ongoing collaboration with Engineering leadership. The successful candidate will direct external engineering contractors, partner cross-functionally with stakeholders across commercial, clinical, finance, and operations, and take on expanding ownership of the AI project portfolio as the function scales.
