• Enable shared funnel visibility across the organization and support the development of a robust enterprise reporting framework.
• Drive the adoption of an AI-powered Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), leveraging AI tools to accelerate coding, testing, and deployment processes while maintaining stringent code quality and security standards.

Success in this role looks like:

• Successfully achieving improved clinical data coverage and freshness targets across all patient populations.
• Predictable and repeatable multi-customer scaling with standardized playbooks for rapid data readiness.
• Broad adoption of the Data Products platform and its capabilities
• Data infrastructure is robust, stable, and serves as a reliable source of truth during rapid organizational growth and customer expansion.

You should get in touch if:

• You possess 10+ years of engineering experience with a deep focus on building high-scale data platforms, distributed systems, and interoperability standards (e.g., FHIR, CCDA).
• Proven track record in managing and scaling engineering teams that handle data-heavy workloads and complex clinical data pipelines.
• Proven experience leading cross-functional teams of engineers to deliver complex software in regulated environments.
• Experience implementing and scaling AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., AI code assistants, automated testing, or AI-driven SDLC) to improve engineering productivity.
• Demonstrated experience building and managing engineering systems in highly regulated healthcare environments, with a strong operational understanding of HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance requirements.
• Passionate about the healthcare sector and committed to utilizing technical expertise to drive meaningful improvements in patient outcomes.
