Vice President of Software Engineering

• Lead and scale our engineering organization to a high-performing, distributed team capable of executing on an aggressive multi-platform roadmap while managing technical debt across multiple product lines and technology stacks
• Drive platform strategy spanning EHR/eMAR systems, workforce management, AI-driven care intelligence, and data infrastructure—architecting solutions that balance legacy solutions with modern platform evolution and strategic acquisitions integration
• Own the technical vision and execution of $1-2M+ multi-year modernization initiatives including database architecture evolution, infrastructure consolidation across AWS environments, authentication unification, and API-first architecture development
• Partner directly with the Chief Platform Officer, Product leadership, and executive team to translate business strategy into technical roadmaps, balancing feature delivery velocity against technical debt remediation and infrastructure investments
• Establish engineering excellence through mature SDLC practices including CI/CD automation, comprehensive test strategies, code review standards, and metrics-driven productivity frameworks that deliver predictable releases while maintaining system reliability
• Build and develop engineering leadership capability across distributed teams by recruiting senior talent, creating career progression frameworks, managing offshore partnerships, and fostering a collaborative culture focused on technical excellence and psychological safety
• Lead platform consolidation efforts following acquisitions by integrating heterogeneous technology stacks, unifying authentication and authorization systems, establishing shared services, and creating consistent UX/design systems across product lines
• Ensure SOC 2 Type II compliance, PHI/PII security controls, and healthcare data standards (HL7/FHIR) are embedded in engineering practices while managing incident response, third-party security assessments, and continuous compliance requirements
• Drive operational excellence by implementing engineering KPIs (velocity, quality, deployment frequency, SLA/SLO metrics), capacity planning frameworks, resource allocation strategies, and dependency management across competing priorities
• Champion technology evaluation and strategic decision-making including build-vs-buy analysis, technology stack evolution, infrastructure cost optimization, and emerging technology adoption that advances our platform capabilities
• Collaborate with Data Platform and AI/ML teams to support intelligent care initiatives by ensuring engineering practices accommodate real-time systems, high-concurrency architectures, data pipeline integration, and AI feature deployment
• Communicate technical vision, risk, and investment rationale to C-suite stakeholders and board members through compelling presentations, business cases, and strategic narratives that align engineering initiatives with business outcomes

• 15+ years software engineering experience with 7+ years in VP or Senior Director of Engineering roles leading 20-50+ engineering professionals at SaaS companies, preferably in healthcare, regulated industries, or high-compliance environments
