About the Role:

As the Director of Engineering at CertifyOS, you'll be at the helm of one of our most critical technical areas: building and scaling our provider data platform. This platform powers everything from licensing and credentialing to real-time network insights for some of the largest healthcare organizations in the U.S.

You’ll lead multiple engineering teams, influence technical strategy, and work cross-functionally to deliver a highly scalable, resilient, and performant system. A significant part of the role involves working with data at scale — including challenges like data integration, entity resolution, streaming, quality, and analytics — and transforming this data into reliable, API-first products.

We’re looking for a leader who combines deep technical expertise with a product mindset, and who can both drive architecture and grow high-performing teams.

• Lead a significant part of the engineering team: Establish best practices, design, and implement product capabilities and platform architecture to build a scalable, performant, and available provider data management platform.
• Ensure timely deliveries with high quality: Identify initiatives, design solutions, ensure teams are able to deliver, and drive comprehensive test coverage,
• Enhance Observability: Build and manage monitoring and observability frameworks, including logging and alerting systems, to improve system resilience.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with product and engineering teams to support scalable, high-quality releases and ensure smooth operations across development.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Lead a multi-disciplinary engineering team, promoting skill development and fostering a high-performance culture.
• Strategic Influence: Contribute to CertifyOS's broader technical strategy, supporting our mission to build a robust, scalable, and enterprise-ready platform.

• Experience: 12+ years in software engineering, with at least 5 years in engineering management, including leading other managers.
• Entity Resolution Expertise: A clear understanding of entity resolution—what it is, why it matters, and the common technical challenges involved. Prior hands-on experience is a plus but a strong conceptual grasp is required.
• Data & Platform Depth: Experience in at least 3 of the following areas: Data integration or ingestion, Data extraction or export, API management, Data quality, Analytics and reporting, Data streaming (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub), Data storage and performance optimization
• Data-Centric Product Development: Experience building or leading development of data-heavy enterprise platforms. Master Data Management (MDM) experience is preferred.
• SaaS Delivery: Demonstrated success in delivering reliable, scalable SaaS products.
• Infrastructure as Code: Proficient with tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar.
• Cloud-Native Architecture: Skilled in containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) on cloud platforms (GCP preferred).
• Observability & Monitoring: Built or led efforts in system observability—logging, alerting, tracing (e.g., GCP Logging, Stackdriver).
• Leadership & Communication: High-agency leader, able to drive cross-functional collaboration and communicate complex technical ideas effectively across functions.

• Experience managing software quality through development including the testing pyramid is nice to have
• Experience with SRE principles or responsibility over production systems is nice to have

• Curious: Passionate about driving efficiency and exploring technical challenges.
• High-agency: Eager to take ownership and make impactful decisions.
• Self-learner: Continuously developing new skills and keeping up with industry trends.
• Low-ego: A collaborative leader who values teamwork and shared success.
• Comfortable with ambiguity: Able to navigate uncertainty and find effective solutions.

• Impactful Work: Shape the development strategy at a growing SaaS company in the healthcare sector.
• Growth & Development: Opportunity to lead critical engineering functions with high visibility and influence.
• Collaborative Culture: Work in a supportive environment where innovation and efficiency are key drivers.
• Equity: A share in a rapidly growing company that is revolutionizing the healthcare data space.
