- Proven track record of directly hiring, mentoring, and developing engineering managers, Tech Leads (TLs), and Principal Engineers (PELs)
- Demonstrated ability to cultivate a high-performance engineering culture focused on velocity, quality, and psychological safety
- Experience leading organizational change, including structural re-orgs and process evolution
- Strong proficiency in strategic resource allocation, capacity planning, and managing technical debt in a fast-paced product environment

- Own the Data Products technical roadmap, canonical data modeling, and ingestion scalability
- Manage and optimize the clinical data ingestion pipeline
- Oversee the scaling of customer data onboarding processes and the continuous improvement of data hygiene, canonical storage standards, and observability and monitoring of the data pipelines
- Enable shared funnel visibility across the organization and support the development of a robust enterprise reporting framework
- Drive the adoption of an AI-powered Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), leveraging AI tools to accelerate coding, testing, and deployment processes while maintaining stringent code quality and security standards
- Success in this role looks like:
- Successfully achieving improved clinical data coverage and freshness targets across all patient populations
- Predictable and repeatable multi-customer scaling with standardized playbooks for rapid data readiness
- Broad adoption of the Data Products platform and its capabilities

Our take
Clover Health is a medical insurance company operating as a Preferred Provider Orgaization for Medicare Advantage, the Medicare plan for elderly American citizens. It aims to reduce the doctor-insurer friction to increase visibility into the health of patients.
Supported by Clover, physicians are able to focus on people rather than paperwork. It offers patient-centered analytics and a dedicated care management team, so it is able to rapidly identify potential healthcare risks and provide preventative care. This helps to provide a more sophisticated level of care than existing providers.
Over the years, Clover Health has performed well in a rapidly growing market, despite hitting profitability issues back in 2021. The company smartly focussed in on this issue, and is now expecting to reach profitability in 2026. With the growing number of elderly Americans, the market is only going to get bigger, presenting an opportunity for even bigger growth.
