Partner with the Sr. Director, Foundations to define and drive the technical vision and direction for the Foundations group.

Lead architecture decisions for integration patterns, caching infrastructure, and shared services, and design the APIs, data models, and integration patterns that let teams build new clinical and member experiences without reinventing the wheel.

Serve as a technical escalation point for complex platform challenges, and conduct design reviews to ensure services meet reliability, performance, and security standards.

Raise the bar on reliability and performance by driving SLOs, capacity planning, and incident-ready designs for the systems you own.

Personally execute on the highest-priority and most technically challenging projects, and own end-to-end delivery for complex initiatives that cut across multiple product teams and services.

Act as a partner to product engineering teams, understanding their needs and providing platform solutions that accelerate development.

Build and maintain shared libraries, SDKs, and internal APIs that improve developer productivity.

Create documentation, examples, and guidelines for consuming platform services.

Provide technical guidance and support during product team integration efforts.

Embed testability in designs: meaningful unit and functional tests, contract tests between services, and automated checks where they matter most.

Ensure new features are instrumented with high-quality analytics in Mixpanel, with events and properties that stay consistent across products.

Work with Product and Data to set up dashboards and monitoring that reflect real user and clinical outcomes, not just vanity metrics.

Drive post-incident reviews and systemic improvements when things break.

Mentor senior and mid-level engineers through design guidance, pairing, and thoughtful code review.

Help define and uphold engineering standards: coding conventions, architecture patterns, and documentation norms.

Model a pragmatic, product-focused mindset that balances high standards with iterative delivery and experimentation.

Compensation: $200,000 - $280,000 (based on location)

~8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time as a senior/staff IC building product experiences in production.

A track record of owning and shipping multi-team projects in modern web stacks.

Experience working closely with product and design on user-facing features.

Comfortable leading technical decisions in ambiguous domains and defending those decisions with clear tradeoffs.

Proven ability to lead through influence: aligning multiple teams and partners on technical direction without needing direct authority.

Comfort working in a highly cross-functional environment with clinicians, operations, and research in the loop.

Clear written and verbal communication; you can explain complex technical topics to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

You enjoy mentoring and leveling up the people around you.
