Job summary

Datavant is seeking a Director of Software Engineering to define and lead the engineering function behind our internal platforms that power end-to-end revenue enablement. You will lead through engineering managers and technical leads, setting standards and direction in a matrixed, pod-based delivery model to build scalable, fit-for-purpose solutions.

You will own hiring, growth, performance, and the technical bar for the team, and collaborate with product, architecture, security, and compliance

Qualifications

• 12+ years of software engineering experience, including leadership roles.

Responsibilities

• Build, grow, and lead a world-class team of software engineers, engineering managers, and technical leads responsible for our custom applications — owning hiring, growth, performance, and the technical bar.
• Set the engineering standards and technology direction for the domain: development practices, technology and architecture choices, quality and testing standards, and how we manage our repositories and technical debt.
• Own our shared platform services — e.g. enterprise authentication delivered as a service that other product teams consume rather than rebuild — treating them as products authored by internal engineering leaders.
• Be accountable for fit-for-purpose delivery: that what your team builds holds up in production, meets the need it was built for, and doesn’t create tomorrow’s rework.
• Partner with product, architecture, security, and compliance, and commit engineers into cross-functional pods to deliver value-stream outcomes — starting with Order-to-Cash and Lead-to-Contract.
• Serve as a senior technical advisor and sounding board to your teams and to the pods that draw on them — engaging on architecture, trade-offs, and design.
• Champion the software solutions, processes, and standards that raise our quality bar over time and carry the business into the future.
