·       Lead the development of video communication solutions (e.g., video carts for patient consultation, mobile apps with real-time calling and chat functionality).

·       Ensure implementation of federated single sign-on (SSO) applications to enable secure and seamless access across platforms.

·       Leverage AI-powered tools to accelerate prototyping, debugging, testing, and deployment.

·       Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing, distributed engineering organization (U.S.-based and offshore).

·       Define career development paths and foster a culture of ownership, excellence, and accountability.

·       Partner with HR and recruiting to attract top engineering talent aligned with the company’s mission.

·       Provide coaching and mentorship to engineering leaders and tech leads.

·       Stay engaged with code, architecture reviews, and key technical tradeoffs.

·       Encourage experimentation with emerging tools, frameworks, and AI-powered engineering workflows.

·       Drive adoption of strong practices in testing, observability, security, and performance optimization.

·       Ensure best-in-class developer productivity through modern workflows, automation, and infrastructure.

·       Represent engineering at the executive leadership level, aligning priorities across functions.

·       Partner with Product and Data & AI leadership to align strategy, foundations, and innovation.

·       Clearly communicate engineering priorities, challenges, and successes to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

·       Serve as a visible technical leader in the healthcare innovation space.

·       10+ years in software engineering, including 5+ years in senior leadership (VP or Director level).

·       Proven success in leading teams to deliver scalable SaaS applications (web and mobile).

·       Must have hands-on experience building video communication platforms (video carts, mobile calling, chat functionality).

·       Must have expertise in implementing federated single sign-on (SSO) applications in enterprise healthcare environments.

·       Deep technical expertise across modern web/mobile frameworks, backend systems, and cloud infrastructure.

·       Strong background in DevOps, CI/CD, and AWS cloud.

·       Demonstrated experience with AI/ML engineering tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor) integrated into workflows.

·       Experience in healthcare technology is required.

·       Track record of managing and scaling distributed engineering teams (local + offshore).

·       Strategic thinker who balances long-term platform goals with near-term delivery needs.

·       Strong communication skills and executive presence, able to represent engineering across the company and externally.

·       Proven ability to align cross-functional stakeholders around engineering priorities.

·       Passion for mentoring and developing engineering leaders and teams.
