• Hire, develop, and retain a team of 5–6 engineers
• Establish engineering standards, operational practices, and delivery rhythm
• Guide the design of the core rules engine, claims pipeline, and AI innovation
• Drive platform decisions for extensibility, scalability, and security
• Partner with product, ML, UX, and operations to translate requirements into work
• Align stakeholders on priorities, tradeoffs, and timelines
• Define and report metrics that demonstrate engineering and product impact
• Represent the team to executive and customer audiences

Required qualifications

• Power-user fluency with Claude Code or Codex for planning, building, and debugging non-trivial work
• BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent

Nice to have

• Experience in healthcare, insurance, finance, or other high-stakes domains where "mostly right" is unacceptable
• Familiarity with claims, payments, or coordination-of-benefits and payment-integrity workflows
• Experience designing high-throughput rules or decisioning engines that evaluate logic against large data volumes in near real time
• Experience operating systems on regulated data (PHI/PII), including the security and compliance controls production healthcare requires
• Experience shipping AI- or ML-driven features in production, including how they are evaluated and earn the business's trust
• Track record defining and owning business-trusted metrics such as precision/recall and dollar-weighted impact
• Experience with lightweight operational practices such as on-call, incident review, and release management
