[Hiring] VP, Engineering @TailorCare

Role Description

As VP, Engineering, you will own the engineering teams that serve our patients and our care teams directly:

• A data science and decisioning team that determines the right next step for each patient.
• A patient engagement platform team that delivers those steps through app, messaging, and voice.
• A care team productivity team that builds the workflows and tools our clinical and care staff use every day.

Together, these teams shape the patient journey from first outreach to care completion. Our data platform and infrastructure teams sit alongside you under the CTO and provide the foundation your teams build on.

TailorCare is growing fast. We are adding payers and markets quickly, and the systems and teams you lead will need to scale with that pace. You will set the engineering plan for the patient journey in close partnership with Product, grow the directors and managers who run the teams, and represent your organization's commitments and progress to the executive team.

You will join strong leaders, a clear operating model built around outcome teams, and some of the most interesting problems in healthcare: turning predictive models into decisions that measurably change patient outcomes at scale.

Qualifications

• 12 or more years in software engineering, with 7 or more leading multi-team organizations through directors or managers.
• Experience carrying a business outcome, not only delivery: you have been responsible for a metric the company watched, and you can explain how your engineering decisions moved it.
• A record of developing leaders, including growing first-time engineering managers into capable leads. We will ask for names.
• Experience keeping commitments realistic: feasibility surfaced before the promise, and delivery against hard external deadlines without slipping quality.
• A track record of building strong, trusting partnerships with product management, with clear decision rights and shared accountability rather than a requirements handoff.
• Experience in a startup or scale-up where structure had to be built rather than inherited.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• An advanced degree in a quantitative field is a plus, not a requirement.
• Ability and willingness to travel up to 10% as needed for onsite meetings, team collaboration, and company events.

Requirements

• Healthcare, payer, or value-based care experience, and familiarity with HIPAA-regulated systems.
• Experience with contact center, telephony, or omni-channel engagement platforms.
• Experience shipping decisioning or personalization systems where model output drives real-world actions.

Benefits

• Meaningful Work: We are dedicated to our mission and deeply value our patients and each other. Each day offers the opportunity to make a positive impact.
• Work Environment: We operate as a remote-first company with options for a hybrid work model in Nashville.
• Time Off: Our generous paid time off (PTO) and holiday plans ensure you have ample time to rest and recharge.
• Family First: We offer paid parental leave and support a healthy work-life balance, encouraging flexibility and autonomy. We love talking about our family and pets!
• Comprehensive Benefits: From Day 1, employees enjoy medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, wellness resources and an employer HSA contribution.
• Fair Compensation: We are committed to equitable pay for all team members and support your future goals with a 401k plan that includes employer matching.
• Community: We foster an inclusive environment where you can rely on your teammates, share honest feedback, and feel comfortable being your authentic self at work each day.
