Company mission
To deliver compassionate kidney care the way it should be done.
Role
Who you are
- 9+ years combined of related education, experience, or certification in software engineering, data engineering, or a closely related field
- 3+ years of experience leading engineering teams, including direct accountability for performance management, career development, and hiring
- High school diploma or GED equivalent
- Internet Connectivity - Min Speeds: 3.8Mbps/3.0Mbps (up/down): Latency <60 ms
- Ability to travel and be onsite to meet business needs
- You find more satisfaction in seeing your engineers grow than in writing code yourself — people development is your primary lever
- You give direct, timely performance feedback to your engineers — including hard conversations about gaps and growth edges — and you don’t wait for formal review cycles to do it
- You’re comfortable operating without a Director layer between you and the VP — you take initiative, make decisions with appropriate autonomy, and bring the right level of signal upward
- You hold yourself and your team to clear expectations and follow through — delivery discipline isn’t bureaucracy to you, it’s respect for the business and the patients we serve
- You’re energized by the mission — you connect engineering craft to patient and clinician outcomes, not just technical metrics
- You see Strive’s current scale as an opportunity to build the right patterns early, before they become harder to change
Desirable
- Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field
- Experience leading mixed-discipline teams spanning both software and data engineering
- Familiarity with healthcare data standards and systems (e.g., HL7, FHIR, EHR/EMR platforms, claims data)
- Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) and a track record of driving team adoption of new tooling
- Experience with Agile delivery models (Scrum and/or Kanban) and coaching teams on delivery discipline
- Cloud-native engineering background, preferably on AWS
- Working knowledge of the data stack: partner files, schemas, configs, dbt/models, and AWS services (S3, Bedrock, Step Functions, Redshift, RDS)
- Technical leadership in execution, meaning you unblock others by clarifying scope, priority, and next steps
What the job involves
- Lead and develop a team of Software and Data Engineers spanning multiple pods — providing regular coaching, performance feedback, and career development guidance across a range of seniority levels. Accountable for sustaining ≥80% on-time delivery against sprint. commitments and initiative targets
- Own engineering delivery process health across teams — including sprint goal stewardship, sprint capacity planning, and cross-team delivery accountability in the absence of dedicated Scrum Masters
- Drive adoption of quality engineering standards including TDD, BDD, or spec-driven development, with a goal of reducing P0 through P2 production incidents
- Accelerate the team’s AI-assisted development capabilities — including Claude Code and other AI tooling — to reduce overhead and improve engineering throughput in service of Strive’s goal of 2+ hours of weekly time savings per engineer
- Partner with the VP, Engineering to co-create engineering strategy and translate it into actionable execution plans; represent the engineering function in cross-functional forums with Product, Clinical, and business stakeholders
- Serve as the engineering owner for Health Cloud support triage — including Salesforce admin access management, ticket submission, and ensuring issues are routed, owned, and resolved within engineering
- Manage hiring, headcount planning, and team structure for the engineering function in partnership with the VP, Engineering and People Business Partner
- Meet in person with internal and/or external stakeholders to facilitate team and business priorities/opportunities. Business travel may be required for opportunities to connect with stakeholders, serve patients, and attend Strive-sponsored team events
Our take
With healthcare expenses notoriously high in the US, patients seek quality care that is cost-effective. This a challenge Strive Health is tackling head-on, aiming to provide affordable, value-based care that yields better patient outcomes and lower bills for patients with kidney disease.
Strive has built an integrated care delivery system for patients diagnosed with chronic or end-stage kidney disease. By employing machine learning algorithms to interpret patient data and predict disease progression, the company delivers targeted interventions that are both cheaper and more effective than current methods of detection and treatment.
Having raised a high degree of funding, Strive Health's trajectory appears promising. The company is leveraging this capital to scale its team, strengthen end-to-end strategic partnerships, and expand its multi-specialty service offerings. At the same time, Strive is enhancing its value-based care model through advanced technology, including AI-driven tools and analytics, to deliver more personalized, data-informed kidney care solutions.
