• Demonstrated experience leading or supporting engineers across multiple product teams, programs, or matrixed organizational structures.
• Strong software engineering background with cloud-based or distributed systems and the technical fluency to participate credibly in architecture, risk, and delivery discussions.
• Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining complex asynchronous messaging, backend processing, and highly available systems.
• Strong understanding of scalable architecture, system reliability, monitoring, maintainability, and long-term platform sustainability.
• Experience translating business and product objectives into engineering priorities, delivery plans, and measurable results.
• Ability to balance delivery speed with security, quality, reliability, maintainability, and technical debt considerations.
• Experience coaching engineers in technical problem-solving, decision-making, professional development, and effective collaboration.
• Strong communication, listening, stakeholder management, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work effectively in distributed and asynchronous environments.
• Strong computer science fundamentals and practical software development experience.
• Preferred experience leading teams developing production software in Go or another modern cloud-native programming language.
• Familiarity with public cloud platforms and managed database, messaging, event-streaming, API, and service technologies.
• Experience treating an internal platform as a product, with attention to developer experience, adoption, reliability, and measurable business value.
• Experience with agile product development and modern software engineering practices such as automated testing, continuous delivery, observability, and secure development.
• Experience in digital health, medical devices, or another regulated industry is a plus, particularly experience developing products subject to FDA or comparable regulatory requirements.

• Competitive base salary of approximately $99,300–$198,700, with actual compensation varying by location, qualifications, skills, and experience.
• Remote work opportunities within the United States, with additional locations including Florida and California.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, including access to a Health Investment Plan PPO option.
• Retirement savings plan with a strong employer contribution.
• Tuition reimbursement and education support programs, including student debt assistance and pathways toward earning a bachelor’s degree.
• Career development opportunities within a large international organization.
