  • Experience building, coaching, and developing engineering talent.
  • Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Experience with Java, C#, Scala, Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
  • Preferred experience in healthcare technology, HL7, FHIR, patient flow, or healthcare operations.
  • Strong understanding of software development methodologies, engineering life cycles, and organizational scaling practices.
  • Ability to translate business strategy into technical direction and executable engineering plans.
  • Ability to influence senior leadership and drive outcomes through collaboration.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
