Director of Engineering - Pay Product (Remote)

Machinify is the leading provider of AI-powered software products that transform healthcare claims and payment operations. Each year, the healthcare industry generates over $200B in claims mispayments, creating incredible waste, friction and frustration for all participants: patients, providers, and especially payers. Machinify’s revolutionary AI-platform has enabled the company to develop and deploy, at light speed, industry-specific products that increase the speed and accuracy of claims processing by orders of magnitude.

We’re seeking a hands on, technically deep Director of Engineering to lead our Pay Product software team!

You will manage and build a team of server engineers, mentor to excellence, and establish best practices to deliver quality software on time. You will also work closely with Data Scientists who build “sentinels” for discovering fraud and other claims payment anomalies, and build quality tools that enable them and other healthcare subject matter experts to create value, lower health care costs and enable organizational velocity.

The ideal candidate has a range of skills across backend services and tools, technical leadership and people leadership. You get excited by developing performant platforms for delivering customer impact. You have experience in mentoring developers through career development and performance growth opportunities. You are structured in managing deliverables and dependencies through cross-functional communications and project management. You like rolling up your sleeves and being hands on, driving architectural best practices, engineering operations best practices, and staying in touch with the everyday challenges of your team. You challenge the team on using tools that scale velocity, including influencing automating testing and AI code generation.
