What you will do
Define architecture across ingestion, processing, storage, serving, governance, and observability for the India-owned parts of the platform, aligned with Seattle.
Set multi-platform technical strategy along with the sequencing that makes it achievable rather than aspirational.
Remain hands-on where it counts: critical designs, prototypes, deep reviews, and the worst production problems.
Resolve technical disagreements that span teams and write down the decision and it's reasoning so that it holds afterwards.
Establish architecture governance that engineers experience as a useful framework.
Raise the technical bar of the IDC through hiring, interview calibration, and mentoring of Senior and SDE3 engineers.
Represent Truveta's engineering thinking to partners, candidates, and the wider technical community.
Key qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
10 to 16 or more years of professional software engineering experience, with eight considered exceptional candidates.
Architecture ownership across multiple teams or platforms, with results that are demonstrably durable.
Deep expertise in large-scale distributed data systems across the full lifecycle, from ingestion through serving.
Continuing hands-on practice: you still write code and review designs in detail. This is an IC role, not a management role.
Evidence of technical strategy that was adopted and executed, not only proposed.
Sound judgment about build versus buy, migration risk, and technical debt at organization scale.
Ability to influence senior engineering and product leadership across geographies and time zones.
Preferred qualifications
Healthcare data, clinical informatics, or a comparably regulated domain.
Experience as the most senior individual contributor at a site or within a platform organization.
Track record of hiring and calibrating senior engineering talent.
Prior work on privacy, security, or compliance architecture at scale.
