What You'll Do

  • Lead and develop a team of Software and Data Engineers spanning multiple pods — providing regular coaching, performance feedback, and career development guidance across a range of seniority levels. Accountable for sustaining ≥80% on-time delivery against sprint. commitments and initiative targets. 
  • Own engineering delivery process health across teams — including sprint goal stewardship, sprint capacity planning, and cross-team delivery accountability in the absence of dedicated Scrum Masters. 
  • Drive adoption of quality engineering standards including TDD, BDD, or spec-driven development, with a goal of reducing P0 through P2 production incidents. 
  • Accelerate the team’s AI-assisted development capabilities — including Claude Code and other AI tooling — to reduce overhead and improve engineering throughput in service of Strive’s goal of 2+ hours of weekly time savings per engineer. 
  • Partner with the VP, Engineering to co-create engineering strategy and translate it into actionable execution plans; represent the engineering function in cross-functional forums with Product, Clinical, and business stakeholders. 
  • Serve as the engineering owner for Health Cloud support triage — including Salesforce admin access management, ticket submission, and ensuring issues are routed, owned, and resolved within engineering. 
  • Manage hiring, headcount planning, and team structure for the engineering function in partnership with the VP, Engineering and People Business Partner. 
  • Meet in person with internal and/or external stakeholders to facilitate team and business priorities/opportunities. Business travel may be required for opportunities to connect with stakeholders, serve patients, and attend Strive-sponsored team events. 

Qualifications 

Minimum: 

  • 9+ years combined of related education, experience, or certification in software engineering, data engineering, or a closely related field. 
  • 3+ years of experience leading engineering teams, including direct accountability for performance management, career development, and hiring. 
  • High school diploma or GED equivalent. 
  • Internet Connectivity - Min Speeds: 3.8Mbps/3.0Mbps (up/down): Latency <60 ms. 
  • Ability to travel and be onsite to meet business needs. 

 

Preferred: 

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or related field. 
  • Experience leading mixed-discipline teams spanning both software and data engineering. 
  • Familiarity with healthcare data standards and systems (e.g., HL7, FHIR, EHR/EMR platforms, claims data). 
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) and a track record of driving team adoption of new tooling. 
  • Experience with Agile delivery models (Scrum and/or Kanban) and coaching teams on delivery discipline. 
  • Cloud-native engineering background, preferably on AWS. 
  • Working knowledge of the data stack: partner files, schemas, configs, dbt/models, and AWS services (S3, Bedrock, Step Functions, Redshift, RDS). 
  • Technical leadership in execution, meaning you unblock others by clarifying scope, priority, and next steps. 

About You 

  • You find more satisfaction in seeing your engineers grow than in writing code yourself — people development is your primary lever.
  • You give direct, timely performance feedback to your engineers — including hard conversations about gaps and growth edges — and you don’t wait for formal review cycles to do it. 
  • You’re comfortable operating without a Director layer between you and the VP — you take initiative, make decisions with appropriate autonomy, and bring the right level of signal upward. 
  • You hold yourself and your team to clear expectations and follow through — delivery discipline isn’t bureaucracy to you, it’s respect for the business and the patients we serve. 
  • You’re energized by the mission — you connect engineering craft to patient and clinician outcomes, not just technical metrics. 
  • You see Strive’s current scale as an opportunity to build the right patterns early, before they become harder to change. 

 

Annual Base Salary Range: $130,000 - $163,000. This position is also eligible for a target annual bonus of 15% 

 

Final compensation will be determined based on location, experience, and qualifications.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
