You will audit current architecture and set the strategic direction for critical scaling milestones.

• In your first 6 months: You will build and scale a high-performing engineering organization, hiring key talent and establishing career pathways that grow future leaders. You will drive the delivery of complex vertical solutions, meeting all critical scaling milestones with autonomy.

• In your first 9 months: You will oversee the architectural evolution of our data ecosystem, implementing advanced ETL/ELT processes that achieve 99.9% data availability and reliability for downstream teams.

• In your first year: You will institutionalize robust data governance and security frameworks—including HIPAA compliance—that serve as company-wide standards for quality and risk reduction. You will spearhead our AI/LLM data strategy, architecting data marts that position Hinge Health for the next generation of AI-driven analytics.
