Job description

Job Description How you’ll make an impact You’ll shape the team’s technical excellence by driving sound architectural decisions, raising engineering standards, and ensuring our systems are resilient, scalable, and easy to evolve. Your influence will streamline development workflows, reduce friction, and create an environment where engineers can move quickly without compromising quality. You’ll strengthen our operational readiness by improving incident playbooks, observability, and team preparedness. Through clear communication and structured planning, you’ll enable predictable delivery, better alignment with stakeholders, and a culture of continuous improvement. Your leadership will directly improve reliability, developer experience, and long-term product stability. What you'll do You will lead a team of around 4–6 software engineers, balancing hands-on technical leadership (about 40%, including coding and technical decisions) with people management, planning, and delivery execution. Working effectively with product managers, other engineers and business stakeholders on projects. Guide the team toward pragmatic architectural choices that balance scalability, security, cost, and simplicity. Establish and reinforce coding standards, patterns, and best practices through thoughtful code reviews and documentation. Identify workflow bottlenecks and drive improvements to tooling, automation, local environments, and CI/CD pipelines. Maintain clear, actionable incident playbooks and improve monitoring and alerting to reduce noise and increase confidence. Break down work into well scoped increments and support predictable delivery through strong planning and risk management. Champion reliability by ensuring services meet SLOs, have meaningful observability, and undergo effective post incident improvement. Automate manual or repetitive processes to increase engineering efficiency and reduce operational toil. Communicate technical decisions, risks, and trade-offs clearly to Product and cross functional partners. Ensure engineering governance controls, testing requirements, and stage gates are consistently followed. You will work in an AWS infrastructure stack, with access to the advantages of Henry Schein One’s close AWS partnership.

(Preferred) Experience of leveraging AI and LLM tooling and developing AI-powered customer-facing features. Ability to use data and anecdotal evidence to drive change. Ability to pivot as priorities and needs change without losing sight of long-term strategy. A curious mind: You want to explore the unknown and brave enough to disrupt your own ways of working, and able to bring that to you teams.
