Why this is worth applying to
Clinicians with a substantial software engineering background and management experience may find this a strong fit, but the role is not accessible to most healthcare professionals without deep technical credentials.
Who should apply
Experienced software engineering managers with 7+ years in software/data engineering, 2+ years managing engineers, and a strong interest in healthcare technology and HIPAA compliance.
CV angle
If you have both clinical and engineering experience, highlight technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration with clinical teams, HIPAA-compliant system design, and hands-on Python/SQL/TypeScript development. Otherwise, this role is not aligned with a clinical CV.
Skills to highlight
- Python
- TypeScript
- SQL
- Cloud infrastructure (GCP)
- HIPAA compliance
- Team leadership and mentoring
- CI/CD and automated testing
- Data pipelines and DBT
