Platform Engineering Manager - DataLake
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to help build and scale our foundational platforms – the healthcare database of the future that no one has yet built.
Your team will tackle some of the most complex and high-impact technical challenges in healthcare: how to ingest, store, and serve intrinsically graph-like data at global scale, and how to ensure that entities only see the data dimensions they are authorized to access. You’ll think from first principles, prototype and productionize novel solutions, and develop a truly heterogeneous data lake that stores the world’s multi-modal healthcare data.
This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about solving hard, unsolved challenges. No prior experience in health tech is required.
What You’ll Do
Hire and develop world-class engineers to build an exceptional team
Support engineers’ career growth through clear feedback, mentorship, and leadership development
Establish and uphold high technical standards through sound processes (e.g., architecture reviews, testing) and strong engineering culture
Partner with engineering and product leadership to define and execute long-term platform roadmaps
Drive execution and collaborate across teams to deliver complex, cross-functional initiatives
What You’ll Bring
4+ years leading high-performing engineering teams with a proven track record of innovation
10+ years of total industry experience in software engineering
Exceptional people leadership skills with experience coaching and developing engineers
Deep experience delivering large-scale, foundational infrastructure systems
Strong judgment balancing engineering velocity with long-term technical quality
Excellent collaboration skills with the ability to partner effectively across Product, Sales, and Customer Success
Demonstrated success defining and driving technical and organizational roadmaps
A builder mindset with experience scaling teams and systems in fast-paced environments
Strong ownership and initiative in ambiguous, evolving contexts
Bias for action and data-driven decision making
First-principles thinking applied to technical and organizational challenges
Deep care for people development and team health
Alignment with NexHealth’s values and mission
BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
