  • Resource scaling & innovation: Manage vendor and contingent workforce strategies while leading technology research and innovation across AI, cloud, and distributed systems to inform long-term platform investments.

  • 12+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years leading managers and senior engineers in Agile, cloud-native environments.
  • Proven delivery of large-scale, multi-team engineering programs, owning strategy through execution in fast-paced digital or healthcare technology organizations.
