Job description

Between the demo that wows and the system that survives sits the VP of Engineering we're recruiting in Hattiesburg, and HealthCare Partners pays $211,000 - $293,000 for the difference. Few Hattiesburg employers pair $211,000 - $293,000 with this much technology autonomy, and fewer still ask only 14 years to earn it.

Key Responsibilities

• Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
• Pull HealthCare Partners's Communication stack out of the MS region before the migration deadline
• Negotiate PostgreSQL tradeoffs with product when HealthCare Partners timelines and reality collide
• Carry a quick-to-ship Relationship Building feature through code freeze without breaking HealthCare Partners stability
• Stress-test Tailwind CSS systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
• Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
• Translate fuzzy product wishes from HealthCare Partners stakeholders into shippable Tailwind CSS services
• Untangle the PostgreSQL dependency knots that have slowed Hattiesburg releases for months

What You'll Bring

• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
• Practical command of Django, with bonus points for Innovation
• A MS work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• 12+ years of Django reps, not just Django exposure
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
• Working knowledge of Django alongside transferable Innovation chops

HealthCare Partners exists to solve hard technology problems with an endlessly-iterating approach and a Hattiesburg, MS-rooted culture. We give people autonomy early and trust them to ask for support when they need it.

We pay $211,000 - $293,000 and protect it with coaching, coverage, and a flexible setup so your Kubernetes grows without burning you out.

We just refreshed it, so the technology role counts as live and hiring.
