Overview

We're hiring a Vice President of Engineering to lead our core engineering organization, including R&D and application engineering, while partnering closely with QA, Release Management, and DevOps leadership to strengthen engineering estimation, quality, delivery predictability, automation, and operational excellence across the software delivery lifecycle.

Reporting directly to the CTO, you will be accountable for engineering execution, software quality, delivery predictability, operational excellence, engineering estimation excellence, and the continued evolution of our AI-enabled Software Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC).

Success requires close partnership with Product, Sales, Professional Services, Customer Success, Support, Marketing, and executive leadership to ensure Engineering consistently delivers solutions that meet customer needs and business objectives.

Success will be measured by your ability to build a disciplined, highly predictable engineering organization that consistently delivers exceptional software quality, enables AI-enhanced product capabilities that create customer value, continually improves engineering estimation accuracy and delivery predictability, and earns the confidence of customers, colleagues, and executive leadership through consistent execution.

This is a fully remote position open to candidates located in the United States or Canada. Occasional travel is required for leadership meetings, customer engagements, and company events.

Strategic Technology Leadership

Lead Engineering as a single accountable organization spanning application engineering, R&D, quality engineering, release management, and DevOps/Infrastructure.

Drive modernization of our enterprise technology platform—anchored in .NET, C#, React, Oracle, DevOps, CI/CD, and modern engineering practices—to improve scalability, reliability, security, developer productivity, and delivery predictability.

Partner with Product leadership to translate product vision into executable engineering roadmaps, resource plans, delivery commitments, and high-quality customer outcomes.

Develop and execute multi-year engineering investment plans that improve software quality, developer productivity, platform reliability, operational excellence, and business outcomes.

AI-Enabled Engineering & Product Delivery

Lead implementation and continuous improvement of our AI-enabled Software Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC), embedding AI throughout the engineering lifecycle to improve software quality, developer effectiveness, and engineering efficiency.

Lead engineering execution of AI-enhanced capabilities across our enterprise software platform, ensuring practical customer value within our on-premises solutions while supporting broader strategic technology initiatives led by the CTO.

Establish engineering standards, governance, review practices, and quality controls that ensure AI-assisted development meets enterprise standards for quality, security, compliance, and maintainability.

Ensure AI capabilities—both customer-facing and internal—meet healthcare requirements for accuracy, auditability, privacy, security, and regulatory compliance.

Develop engineering leaders capable of driving organizational excellence, innovation, continuous improvement, and effective adoption of AI-enabled engineering practices.

Engineering Execution, Estimation & Delivery Excellence

Own engineering execution from concept through customer delivery, ensuring solutions are appropriately estimated, staffed, architected, developed, tested, released, and supported with first-time quality.

Establish industry-leading engineering estimation, capacity planning, and delivery forecasting disciplines that enable confident customer commitments, predictable execution, and measurable improvements in estimation accuracy over time.

Continuously improve engineering estimation accuracy, forecasting precision, resource planning, engineering productivity, and delivery performance through disciplined operating practices and data-driven decision making.
