• Technical Experience and Scaling: You’ve developed and scaled critical data infrastructure at previous organizations. You understand short term and long term tradeoffs and can help our teams plan accordingly.
• Ownership Mentality: You build data products the organization can trust and rely on. You’ll make sure all internal stakeholders have simple, intuitive data access and an ability to query data effectively so they can power better healthcare decisions for patients.

Your day to day:

• Leadership: You are a leader for the data engineering organization. You will be a culture builder that helps the team adopt engineering best practices. You will also be responsible for hiring and growing this team.
• Planning & Vision Setting: You are responsible for the outcomes of your team. You’ll help set a vision for our Data Platform team and orient the team around the execution of this vision.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: You will often be the representative of the data engineering team and you will work cross-functionally across the org to achieve greater business objectives.
• Explore and troubleshoot technical gaps: You will keep a critical eye on our technical strategy, identify gaps, and come up with creative solutions.
