Let’s Talk About Responsibilities
How You Will Lead
Build and grow high-performing teams
Recruit, develop, and lead a growing engineering organization in San Diego, initially consisting of a mix of managers and individual contributors. Create a strong team culture grounded in trust, accountability, inclusion, and ownership. Lead through scale and change
Help establish the foundations for a new engineering group, including team structure, delivery rhythms, engineering standards, and ways of working. As the organization grows, evolve the structure and leadership model to support broader scope and long-term success.
Drive technical direction in partnership with engineering leaders
Work closely with lead engineers and architects to guide architecture and system design decisions. Support the development of scalable, secure, maintainable platforms and services, with a strong emphasis on interoperability, resilience, and engineering quality.
Deliver outcomes that balance engineering and business needs
Navigate complex technical tradeoffs while staying grounded in business priorities, customer value, speed, and quality. Help teams make thoughtful decisions in a fast-paced, privacy-conscious environment.
Partner Across Functions To Deliver Value
Collaborate closely with product management, design, support, and other engineering teams to align priorities, manage dependencies, and deliver solutions that meet customer and business needs.
Create strong cross-region alignment
Serve as a key leader for a region that is organizationally important and geographically distinct from broader leadership. Build effective partnerships with teams in Sydney and Halifax, and establish operating rhythms that support strong collaboration across time zones.
Champion modern engineering practices
Promote strong software development practices, engineering excellence, and continuous improvement across the organization. Encourage the thoughtful adoption of modern tools, including AIassisted development approaches, where they improve team effectiveness and delivery outcomes.
Use data to improve execution and outcomes
Leverage data, metrics, and team insights to improve delivery predictability, engineering health, system reliability, and user experience.
Communicate with clarity and influence
Translate technical concepts and delivery realities into clear, actionable communication for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Build confidence and alignment across teams and leadership levels.

Builder of teams and organizations
You know how to build and scale teams effectively, especially in periods of growth and change. You are comfortable leading a mix of managers and individual contributors, and you know how to create clarity, structure, and momentum in a developing organization.
Strong technical judgment
You bring enough technical depth to engage credibly in architecture, distributed systems, APIs, cloud platforms, and modern software engineering practices.

People-first leader
You have a strong track record of coaching, mentoring, and developing talent. You build environments where people can do their best work, grow in their careers, and feel connected to the mission.
Cross-functional and globally effective
You work well across disciplines and across regions. You are comfortable building strong partnerships with stakeholders in product, architecture, and adjacent teams, and you can lead effectively in a global organization with distributed teams and flexible working rhythms.
Business and engineering balanced
You can navigate complex engineering challenges while keeping business goals, customer outcomes, and delivery realities in view.
Experienced In Secure And Privacy-conscious Environments
You understand the importance of building software in environments where privacy, security, and regulatory considerations matter. Experience in healthcare or other regulated industries is valued, though not required.
