Job description

We are building a high-performing engineering team that harnesses the power of Claude AI and Agentic Code, and we need a technical leader who thrives equally in architecture reviews and in the weeds of a pull request. This is a rare opportunity to define how an ambitious, AI-native engineering culture is built from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Lead a team of 10–12 engineers across full-stack, backend, and infrastructure — set the bar, mentor relentlessly, retain top talent
• Be the technical face to customer architectsand solution reviewers — design reviews, pre-sales evaluations, architecture discussions
• Own WBS (Work Breakdown Structure)discipline: stories must be crisp, estimated, and unambiguous before development begins
• Track sprint health with precision — surface blockers fast, resolve faster, never let the team stall silently
• Champion Claude AI and Claude Code across the development workflow — code review automation, AI-assisted scaffolding, intelligent test generation
• Mature the CI/CD pipeline — reduce cycle time, increase deployment frequency, build a culture of continuous improvement
• Stay technical: review code, pair on hard problems, be the person engineers turn to when they're stuck
• Partner with product, infrastructure, and enterprise architects on platform alignment

Tech Stack

• Cloud: Azure (AKS, App Service, Functions), Azure DevOps, Bicep/Terraform
• App: .NET/C#, React, Python
• AI: Claude AI, Claude Code, Anthropic API
• Delivery: CI/CD, Agile/Scrum, quality gates

What You Bring

• 12+ years in software engineering; 4+ years in technical leadership
• Fluent in the Microsoft stack — you can review .NET code, spot a React anti-pattern, debug an Azure pipeline failure
• Proven track record building and scaling engineering teams
• Strong CI/CD background — you've built pipelines and driven measurable delivery improvements
• Comfortable with customer-facing technical conversations: architecture proposals, RFP responses, solution design sessions
• Already using AI-assisted dev tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) in your own workflow
• Excellent English communication — spec writing and exec-level presentations alike
• Healthcare technology exposure is a strong plus; experience with US-HQ distributed teams is preferred

Leadership DNA

You write code and read code. You plan meticulously, adapt quickly. You unblock people before they know they're stuck. You measure outcomes — cycle time, defect escape rate, deployment frequency — not activity. You build psychological safety without lowering the quality bar.

Why Join Us
