This leader will drive technical strategy, operational excellence, and a culture of innovation and execution, ensuring tight alignment with product and business goals to meet ambitious commercial targets.

What You'll Do

• Team Building & Scaling:
  • Recruit, onboard, develop, and retain top engineering talent (managers, leads, individual contributors).
  • Design and evolve the engineering organizational structure (~7+ pods) for scalability and focus.
• Execution & Delivery:
  • Own the end-to-end engineering execution lifecycle.
  • Implement and refine agile processes (SDLC, CI/CD, QA) to ensure predictable, high-quality, and timely delivery of roadmap commitments across multiple pods.
• Technical Strategy & Architecture:
  • Partner with the CPO and CEO to define and execute the long-term technical vision.
  • Ensure the platform architecture is scalable, reliable, secure, and maintainable.
  • Oversee key technical decisions and manage technical debt.
• Operational Excellence:
  • Drive improvements in system performance, reliability (SLOs/SLAs), monitoring, incident management, and overall operational maturity.
  • Foster a strong sense of ownership for production health.
• Leadership & Culture:
  • Manage, mentor, and grow engineering leaders.
  • Foster a positive, collaborative, results-oriented, and mission-driven engineering culture across distributed locations.
• Cross-Functional Partnership:
  • Serve as the engineering counterpart to Product (Director & CPO), Sales, Customer Success, and Operations.
  • Ensure seamless collaboration, alignment on priorities, and effective communication.
• Budget & Resource Management:
  • Manage the engineering budget, optimize resource allocation across pods/initiatives, and ensure efficient infrastructure spending.
• Compliance & Security:
  • Champion security best practices and ensure engineering processes support achieving and maintaining required compliance standards (HIPAA, SOC2, HITRUST).

Qualifications

• Experience shipping a fully-built, customer-facing AI agentic solution.
• Demonstrated success scaling an engineering organization through a high-growth phase at a B2B SaaS company, ideally within a startup/growth-stage environment.
• Significant experience managing and leading geographically distributed engineering teams, with specific experience managing India-based teams strongly preferred.
• Deep technical credibility, understanding modern cloud architectures (GCP/AWS), APIs, microservices, data pipelines.
• Experience building multi-product platforms, managing the complexities of supporting capabilities as point solutions and as integrated solutions.
• Experience implementing and maturing key engineering processes (Agile/Scrum, CI/CD, incident management, monitoring, QA automation).
• Proven ability to hire A+ talent, develop managers/leaders, build high morale, handle performance management, and foster career growth.
• History of successfully partnering with Product, GTM, and other departments to achieve shared business goals.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience in health tech, particularly with EHR integrations (Epic/Cerner, FHIR), HIPAA, and the payer/provider ecosystem.
• Familiarity with the lifecycle of AI/ML features, MLOps concepts, and managing teams working on data-intensive applications.
• Experience working within regulated environments and achieving compliance certifications (NIST, SOC2, HITRUST awareness).
• Experience with GCP, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Node.js, etc. is beneficial but less critical than leadership and scaling experience.
