Role Overview
We are seeking a dynamic and visionary Head of Engineering to lead our Healthcare & Life Sciences (HLS) practice. This role will be responsible for architecting, building, and scaling technology solutions that transform patient care, accelerate drug discovery, optimize healthcare operations, and improve overall health outcomes. The ideal candidate combines deep engineering leadership with strong domain knowledge in healthcare, life sciences, and compliance-driven environments.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership
Define and drive the technology strategy for the HLS practice, aligned with business objectives and client needs.
Partner with senior leadership, product management, and domain experts to shape offerings across healthcare providers, payers, MedTech, pharma, and biotech.
Lead innovation initiatives in AI/ML, GenAI, data platforms, digital health, and connected ecosystems.
Oversee end-to-end engineering across multiple programs — from architecture and design to delivery and operations.
Drive best practices in secure, compliant, and scalable software development (HIPAA, FDA, GDPR, GxP).
Foster engineering culture of agility, reliability, and “fail-fast/learn-fast” experimentation.
Build, mentor, and scale high-performing engineering teams across data, cloud, platform, and application layers.
Encourage continuous learning, research, and adoption of emerging technologies in healthcare and life sciences.
Client & Business Impact
Engage with CxO-level stakeholders to understand their business and technology needs.
Translate complex healthcare and life sciences challenges into scalable engineering solutions.
Drive co-innovation opportunities with clients and partners.
Qualifications
15 to 20+ years of engineering leadership experience, with at least 5+ in healthcare, pharma, biotech, or MedTech domains.
Proven track record of leading large-scale, mission-critical engineering programs (cloud, data platforms, AI, digital products).
Deep knowledge of healthcare interoperability standards (HL7, FHIR, DICOM), clinical systems, and regulatory compliance.
Strong background in modern engineering practices — microservices, APIs, DevSecOps, LLMOps, MLOps, cloud-native architectures.
Excellent communication and executive stakeholder management skills.
What We Offer
Opportunity to define and shape the future of healthcare and life sciences technology.
A platform to drive innovation at scale using AI, data, cloud, and emerging technologies.
Collaborative and entrepreneurial culture with access to cutting-edge research and partner ecosystems.
Global career growth in a purpose-driven organization.
Compensation
