Requirements

  • At least 10 years of progressive engineering leadership experience, including at least 3 years at VP- or Director-equivalent scope with direct accountability for production reliability across a multi-team, multi-application portfolio.
  • Demonstrated ownership of incident frequency and duration as a named metric, including defining alerting and application performance monitoring requirements and holding a shared infrastructure or Site Reliability Engineering function accountable to a service-level turnaround.
  • Experience operating in a paired leadership model alongside a product counterpart, with clear boundaries between what gets built and how and when it ships.
  • Experience managing a blended employee and contractor engineering organization, including vendor transitions.
  • Current, hands-on fluency as a practitioner with AI-assisted engineering tools, including AI coding agents or assistants and AI-assisted code review and testing, plus a track record of driving adoption across an engineering organization.
  • Experience shipping AI-powered product features into production, including accountability for their accuracy, reliability, and compliance after launch.
  • A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

  • Own delivery of the Revenue Cycle Management roadmap against committed plans and milestones, proactively re-forecasting in writing ahead of any risk to a date.
  • Own production reliability for every application in the portfolio, including how often it breaks and how long it remains broken.
  • Define a written alerting and application performance monitoring requirement for every application, and hold shared infrastructure and Site Reliability Engineering functions accountable to an agreed turnaround.
  • Own technology lifecycle management across the organization, ensuring every component is on a supported release and that dated plans exist for unsupported components.
  • Drive down the cycle time for closing technology lifecycle gaps, release over release.
  • Build and lead a high-performing engineering organization, hire within approved headcount, shape team structure, and direct day-to-day contractor work alongside the core employee team.
  • Set defect-triage priority and release cadence for the teams.
  • Own development, retention, and fair evaluation outcomes across the organization, delivered operationally through Technical Managers, and hold those managers accountable.
  • Partner with the Senior Product Director on roadmap sequencing, release scope, customer pilot readiness, and the trade-off between new capability and remediation.
  • Partner with the Chief Architect’s organization on cross-team architecture decisions, shared platform changes, and new integration patterns against the core database.
  • Partner with peer Vice President of Engineering leaders across other value streams on cross-boundary dependencies and shared technical seams.
  • Escalate material risks to the Chief Technology Officer, including risks to committed delivery dates, changes to funded-plan scope or budget, and matters affecting other organizations.
  • Personally use modern AI-assisted engineering tools day to day and drive adoption of AI-assisted development, testing, and review practices across the organization, deciding where AI improves velocity, quality, or cost and holding Technical Managers accountable for team adoption.
  • Partner with Product to identify, scope, and ship AI-powered Revenue Cycle Management product capabilities, such as intelligent claims and billing exception handling or AI-assisted payment posting, from prototype to reliable, supported production features meeting the platform’s reliability and compliance bar.

Desired Qualifications

  • Revenue Cycle Management domain experience in billing, claims, collections, payroll, or general ledger in a regulated or healthcare-adjacent environment.
  • Experience in home health, hospice, or post-acute care technology.
  • Experience modernizing or decomposing a monolithic, database-coupled legacy system.
  • Experience improving automated test coverage on regulatory-exposed critical paths such as billing, claims, or clinical documentation.
  • Experience leading global or distributed engineering teams.
  • Experience operating inside a value-stream or product-pod model rather than a traditional functional Development, Quality Assurance, or Scrum organization.
  • Experience evaluating or rolling out AI developer tooling, such as AI-native integrated development environments or coding agents, at organizational scale, including measuring adoption and productivity impact.
  • Experience applying AI to financial or transactional workflows, such as fraud or anomaly detection, exception triage, or document and claims understanding.
