Director Development

Director, Development Location: Remote – U.S. Key Responsibilities Engineering Leadership & Delivery Lead multiple software engineering teams delivering healthcare product enhancements, cloud‑native modernization programs, regulatory initiatives, and client commitments across two parallel delivery tracks. Own end‑to‑end software delivery across planning, execution, quality, release readiness, production stability, and continuous improvement. Drive predictable execution through Agile delivery models, effective planning, clear priorities, and disciplined operating cadences. Ensure timely, high‑quality delivery of roadmap commitments, compliance requirements, customer escalations, and strategic business priorities. AI‑Directed Software Development Champion Operationalize AI‑directed engineering practices as a core organizational capability. Govern AI‑generated code quality and correctness, enforce architecture as the authoritative source of truth for all implementations, and build the team’s ability to direct rather than simply write code. Operationalize AI engineering tools such as Claude Code and GitHub Copilot to improve throughput, quality, and delivery speed. Establish metrics to track AI adoption, developer productivity, cycle time reduction, code quality, and ROI, including AI‑specific measures such as AI contribution rate, architecture conformance rate, and agent output velocity. Build governance models for secure, compliant, and responsible use of AI in software engineering, with attention to HIPAA obligations around AI‑generated code in clinical contexts. Build and govern an emerging clinical AI agents capability—ambient documentation, clinical decision support, and intelligent ordering agents—establishing safety controls, evaluation frameworks, and human‑in‑the‑loop review standards. Technical Leadership Provide architectural and technical guidance for modern healthcare platforms including cloud‑native services, APIs, interoperability, and data platforms. Enforce architecture‑as‑source‑of‑truth discipline across all engineering teams. Drive modernization of legacy systems toward scalable cloud‑native architectures and modern engineering patterns. Partner with Architecture, Product Management, Security, DevOps, and Support leaders on strategic priorities. Act as executive escalation point for critical technical risks, delivery issues, and customer‑impacting events. People Leadership Recruit, develop, coach, and retain high‑performing engineering managers, architects, and senior engineers. Establish clear goals, accountability models, career development plans, and succession planning. Foster a high‑performance culture centered on ownership, collaboration, urgency, and continuous improvement. Lead a geographically distributed organization across the U.S., Costa Rica, and India, managing multiple consulting vendor relationships and multi‑timezone delivery cadences. Operational Excellence Manage budgets, headcount planning, vendor utilization, and cost optimization across a mixed workforce of direct employees and consulting resources. Improve engineering goals including sprint predictability, defect escape rate, employee engagement, and release quality, alongside AI‑specific metrics. Standardize engineering processes, tooling, scorecards, and governance mechanisms across both sustaining and greenfield delivery tracks. Qualifications Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field required; Master’s degree preferred. Salary Range: $150,000 – $165,000. Experience in healthcare IT product engineering, scalable team building, Agile delivery, and AI‑driven software development.
