Head of Engineering, Data Platform

Our data platform powers one of healthcare's most ambitious technology transformations. We need a Head of Engineering, Data Platform to own it. This is a builder's role first. You'll set technical strategy and write the code that proves it out, working alongside a small, focused team and reporting directly to the Corporate CTO. The best person for this job still loves the craft, building alongside a small, engaged team of engineers. You'll bring a clear point of view on what a modern data platform should look like, the technical depth to make it real, and the leadership instincts to develop the team around you. In this role you will: Own Platform Strategy & Execution Own the data platform end-to-end — architecture, tooling decisions, and roadmap — with a bias toward enabling broad, self-serve access to data across the business Be hands-on with Snowflake and DBT, contributing directly alongside the team on builds, migrations, and optimizations Integrate and rationalize a complex ecosystem of source systems and vendors into a cohesive, reliable data warehouse Define and evolve our approach to data modeling, including well-reasoned opinions on mart/gold layer design — when to enforce structure and when to get out of the way Make strategic build vs. buy decisions on tooling and vendor relationships, framing those decisions in terms of business and operational outcomes — not just technical elegance Drive AI-Native Data Platform Design and evolve a data platform that is built for an AI-native organization — pipelines that serve LLM applications, infrastructure that supports agentic workflows, and tooling that compresses what used to take weeks into hours Use AI actively in your own workflow and bring strong opinions about where AI changes what a data platform needs to do and where it doesn’t Stay ahead of how AI is reshaping the role of data teams and translate that into concrete platform and staffing decisions Ensure material Business Impact Frame every platform decision
