Director, Engineering

About the role

Join us in our mission to advance clinical research and improve patient care. One mission. One team. That's OneStudyTeam.

Responsibilities

• Own the tactical execution of the engineering roadmap.
• Partner with Product and Design to break down product requirements into clear milestones, ensuring the team consistently ships high-quality software on time.
• Unblock engineering teams by participating in technical design reviews.
• Ensure the team builds a stable, scalable platform that successfully ingests and processes complex clinical trial data sources without technical debt.
• Drive the day-to-day development of predictive models and analytics tools.
• Work directly with data and software engineers to ensure these tools accurately surface trial bottlenecks and function reliably for end-users.
• Manage sprint capacity, budget tracking, and day-to-day resource allocation.
• Balance technical debt with feature delivery to maximize engineering velocity and keep data collection timelines on track.
• Run, refine, and optimize the agile ceremonies and development workflows within your department.
• Identify and eliminate operational friction to improve the team's daily shipping cadence.
• Manage Engineering Managers and Tech Leads directly.
• Conduct regular 1-on-1s, deliver performance reviews, write career growth plans, and actively interview and onboard new engineering hires.
• Maintain a high-performing, inclusive team culture.
• Resolve interpersonal or cross-team friction and ensure clear communication boundaries between engineering squads.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for project stakeholders.
• Translate technical blockers, updates, and risks into clear operational timelines for non-technical partners.

Requirements

• Minimum Education: BA or BS degree from college or university.
• Minimum Experience: 7+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years successfully managing engineering teams.
• Proven experience as a "manager of managers," directly leading and developing Engineering Managers and Technical Leads.
• Track record of owning the execution and on-time delivery of complex, data-heavy software products and platforms.
• Strong technical background in scalable architecture, cloud infrastructure, and handling complex data pipelines or predictive models.
• Deep operational expertise in Agile/Scrum methodologies, sprint capacity planning, and continuous integration/delivery (CI/CD) workflows.
• Ability to actively participate in and guide technical design reviews, ensuring platform stability and minimal technical debt.
• Exceptional communication skills with a proven ability to translate technical blockers and project risks for non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience fostering a high-accountability, collaborative team culture that maintains high morale during rapid growth.
• Prior experience working within HealthTech, Biotech, or the Clinical Trials/Life Sciences industry is highly preferred.
