[Hiring] Director of Engineering @Atria Health and Research Institute

Role Description

Atria is seeking a Director of Engineering to lead our Foundations group — the Platform, DevOps, and Data Engineering teams that the rest of the engineering organization is built on. Foundations exists to accelerate overall engineering throughput via the shared services, infrastructure, and data systems that let product teams ship for members and clinicians without reinventing authentication, caching, EMR data sync, pipelines, or deployments every time. You will own the technical strategy and roadmap across all three teams and be accountable for reliability, security, and delivery across the systems Foundations owns. This role directly manages the 12 member Foundations team, including 3 Tech Leads.

Key Responsibilities

• Ownership & Execution:
  • Own the health, technical direction, and output of the Foundations group (Platform, DevOps, and Data Engineering).

  • Own the reliability, security, and operational health of platform, data, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Drive initiatives from definition through delivery, maintaining accountability for outcomes.
  • Identify problems proactively and propose solutions without waiting to be asked.
• Collaboration & Communication:
  • Serve as the primary escalation and request path into Foundations for the rest of the organization.
  • Partner proactively with Product Engineering and Data & Analytics leadership to anticipate infrastructure needs early.
  • Work cross-functionally with product, data, clinical, security, and executive stakeholders.
  • Communicate early when blocked, working with colleagues to unblock the team.
  • Drive and contribute to a culture of direct, constructive feedback.
• Craft & Quality:
  • Own architectural direction across integration patterns, caching infrastructure, shared services, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Act as the senior technical escalation point for complex engineering challenges.
  • Champion AI-assisted engineering workflows across Foundations.
  • Hold a high bar for the work: simple, maintainable, and built to last.
  • Use AI tools actively to amplify output and accelerate delivery.
• Continuous Improvement:
  • Establish and promote engineering standards across the group.
  • Own hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development across Foundations.
  • Champion observability and telemetry standards.
  • Create structures to enable the team to easily measure what we build.
  • Share learnings, workflows, and effective patterns with the team.
  • Raise the standard of the work over time.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including significant leadership experience managing engineering teams and Tech Leads/managers.
• Track record of developing talent and raising team performance over time.
• Demonstrated track record leading multiple teams across platform, infrastructure, or data domains in production.
• Strong systems-design background spanning backend infrastructure, platform reliability, data architecture, security/compliance, and cost optimization.
• Hands-on familiarity with our stack: TypeScript/Node.js, Google Cloud Platform and Terraform, and enterprise data warehousing and pipelines.
• Active, fluent use of AI tools in your own workflow.
• Demonstrated ability to own outcomes end-to-end in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
• Strong systems thinking - ability to see how decisions ripple across users, teams, and products.
• Evidence of developing and supporting a robust culture of feedback.
• Ability to make decisions with incomplete information and bring teams along.

Requirements

• Prior experience in digital health or other regulated technology sectors (HIPAA, PHI, SOC 2, HITRUST).
