Job description

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Director of Engineering - REMOTE. This is a crucial leadership role aimed at managing and scaling the engineering organization to support a range of hospital pharmacy intelligence products. You will have the opportunity to influence technical decisions while fostering a culture that attracts and retains top engineering talent. Your leadership will help shape a high-performing engineering team, while effectively navigating challenges during growth and integration phases. This role is vital in ensuring the timely delivery of quality products across various hospital systems.

Accountabilities

• Lead multiple product engineering teams building multi-tenant, enterprise SaaS for hospital customers — owning the people, the process, and the outcomes.
• Build and sustain a high-performing engineering culture: develop engineering managers, drive accountability, and create clear paths for growth at every level.
• Partner with Product leadership to maintain technical health, manage delivery risk, and ensure products ship with quality and predictability.
• Drive cross-team collaboration — improving reuse, shared ownership, and alignment across engineering and internal platform teams.
• Mature our engineering practices: planning, architectural decision records (ADRs), documentation, quality, and engineering metrics (delivery, developer experience, reliability).
• Own and manage cloud infrastructure costs at the team and product level.
• Lead or support integration of acquired engineering teams — setting standards, building trust, and accelerating time-to-cohesion.
• Participate in technical and architectural reviews, setting a high bar across your teams.

Requirements

• 12+ years building enterprise SaaS products, with at least 5 years leading engineering organizations through growth.
• Proven experience leading distributed, remote-first engineering teams of 20+ through engineering managers.
• Track record of scaling engineering organizations: hiring, developing managers, building career frameworks, and managing performance with clarity and empathy.
• Experience leading post-acquisition integrations — bringing teams into a culture without losing what made them good.
• Strong operator: you understand engineering metrics, can diagnose delivery problems, and know how to fix them without micromanaging.
• Deep partnership instincts — you build high-trust relationships with Product, Data, and DevOps peers and know how to navigate tension constructively.
• Experienced managing cloud costs at scale; comfortable in AWS-first architectures.
• High EQ with a track record of leading through ambiguity, driving change, and saying no with clarity and respect.
• Exemplifies core values: Get Stuff Done, Join Forces, Honor the Customer, Redefine Possible, and Have Fun.

Benefits

• Flexible work schedule and remote working environment.
• Opportunities for professional development and career growth.
• Collaborative and supportive team culture.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Access to the latest tools and technologies.
• Work on impactful projects within the healthcare space.
