Job description

About Us

Health Data Analytics Institute (HDAI) is a commercial-stage HealthTech company. Our Intelligent Health Management System, HealthVision™, is a first-in-class enterprise solution leveraging real-time predictive analytics and generative AI to deliver improved outcomes, efficiencies, and economics for health systems and value-based care organizations.

HDAI is located in Dedham, MA near the Dedham Corporate Center Commuter Rail station on the Franklin/Foxboro line (25 minutes from Back Bay and South Station, Boston) and I-95/128.

Summary

We are looking for a Manager of Cloud Engineering to join our engineering team at HDAI. You will lead the Cloud Engineering team responsible for the infrastructure that powers the HealthVision™ platform. This team owns the AWS environment that supports our data ingestion pipelines, AI/ML inference workloads, and clinical-facing applications. High availability, security, and cost efficiency of our cloud infrastructure are essential to delivering AI models that clinicians trust with patient care.

This role comes at a key turning point in our platform development: we are scaling to onboard new health system partners, deepening our AI capabilities, and maturing our infrastructure practices to meet growing compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST). You will be hands-on technically while also growing and mentoring a team of cloud engineers. Strong infrastructure and DevOps skills are a must—your designs and decisions must meet a high bar of reliability and security while achieving delivery timelines effectively. At HDAI, we nurture a culture of continually improving, and one of the best assets of our engineers is a love for learning. We hope that you too share this goal. A successful candidate will demonstrate strong attention to detail, clear communication, and effective follow-through.
