The opportunity

Reimagine the infrastructure of cancer care within a community that values integrity, inspires growth, and is uniquely positioned to create a more modern, connected oncology ecosystem.

What you'll do

  • Treat the Platform as a Product: Lead and evolve our core developer platform with a product mindset. Lead teams that build and support opinionated "paved paths" and self-service capabilities that reduce cognitive load, remove engineering friction, and optimize developer velocity across multiple business units.

  • Co-Drive Platform Strategy: Partner closely with Product Management partners to define end-to-end platform vision, roadmapping, and metrics. Ensure platform investments deliver high-signal business value and delightful experience across technical and non-technical employees.

  • Guide High-Availability Infrastructure: Provide technical depth and strategic guidance for teams managing resilient infrastructure across enterprise data processing, storage, and mission-critical SaaS integrations with strict SLA/SLO requirements.

  • Champion Internal Customers & IT Operations: Deliver exceptional service and operational excellence to all internal stakeholders. Empower developers with seamless platform tooling while providing non-technical employees with reliable corporate IT infrastructure, support, and services.

  • Integrate & Scale AI Capabilities: Evaluate locally incubated AI developer tooling across business units and execute central platform investments to systematically move the engineering organization up the agentic AI maturity curve.

  • Establish AI Cost & Security Governance: Partner closely with engineering, security, and finance leaders to define pragmatic cost controls, risk guardrails, and compliance governance for production AI workloads and developer tools.

What they're looking for

  • Enable Enterprise-Wide AI Adoption: Collaborate with leaders across technical and non-technical functions to establish the infrastructure, tooling, and user experiences that enable cross-functional teams to safely leverage AI.
  • Build & Manage High Performing Teams: Develop and lead a robust engineering leadership tier across platform and IT teams by fostering a culture of ownership and excellence, cultivating technical leadership, driving organizational maturity and mobility, and aligning talent strategies with mission-critical outcomes.
  • You believe internal software platforms should be treated with the same: customer-centric rigor as external products -- focusing on adoption, developer satisfaction, and measurable impact.
  • You have proven experience leading platform engineering organizations: supporting hundreds of software and data engineers across distributed teams.
