• As a key member of the engineering organization and product development leadership team, you will help shape our team’s practices, talent, and architecture as Strive modernizes its platform, scales AI-enabled workflows, and improves the experiences of clinicians, patients, and internal stakeholders
• We are looking for a candidate with strong leadership judgment, an entrepreneurial spirit, and excitement for the challenges that come with building and scaling a category-creating healthtech solution
• Recruit, develop, and manage top engineering talent capable of delivering high-quality, reliable, secure, and effective technology
• Coach engineering managers and senior individual contributors to become stronger leaders, operators, and technical partners, while building clear growth paths across the organization
• Build and continuously improve the engineering operating system across planning, estimation, sprint execution, release readiness, incident management, and post-launch follow-through
• Improve delivery predictability, throughput, and transparency so that engineering commitments are realistic, measurable, and well-communicated to stakeholders
• Develop and drive standards across software design, testing, code review, observability, security, privacy, compliance, and production support
• Partner closely with Digital Product, Analytics, Data Science, Clinical, Operations, Security, Legal, and executive leadership to help translate business priorities into executable roadmaps and high-impact technical plans
• Help define the architecture and delivery approach required to move Strive from fragmented point solutions toward a cleaner, more composable, and more AI-ready platform stack
• Support major modernization initiatives, including EHR and workflow platform evolution, data integration, interoperability, and engineering patterns that enable faster iteration without sacrificing reliability
• Build practical AI leverage inside engineering by standardizing where tools like coding assistants, summarization, documentation generation, debugging support, and architecture support improve quality and speed
• Put thoughtful guardrails, review expectations, and measurable outcomes around AI usage so that engineering gains real leverage rather than noise or rework
• Work effectively with external partners and consultants when helpful, while retaining clear internal ownership of architecture, prioritization, standards, and long-term maintainability
• Define the optimal engineering organization structure, leadership bench, and talent mix needed to support growth, delivery flexibility, and long-term platform evolution
• Help teams understand product vision and walk in the clinician’s shoes, delivering workflows and capabilities that make Strive Health programs more seamless, effective, and efficient
• Meet in person with internal and/or external stakeholders to facilitate team and business priorities and opportunities. Business travel may be required for opportunities to connect with stakeholders, serve patients, and attend Strive-sponsored team events
