Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Clinical Ink is a global life science company that brings data, technology, and patient science together to unlock clinical discovery. They are seeking a Director of Engineering to lead the engineering team, manage delivery, and collaborate with various stakeholders to ensure successful product development and regulatory compliance.

Responsibilities

• Own delivery: turn product and regulatory intent into a sequenced, achievable plan; hit the submission and release milestones
• Hire, grow, and lead the engineering team — set the bar, run the loop, develop people, and shape a culture of ownership and impact
• Partner with the Principal Engineer on architecture and significant-change decisions; make the build-vs-buy and resourcing calls
• Be the engineering voice to product, clinical, regulatory/QMS, and execs — translate in both directions and keep commitments honest
• Stand up the reliability practice as the platform heads to production: SLOs and error budgets, observability, incident response, and a humane on-call — operational maturity that scales with the product
• Own the infra/cloud spend and resourcing trade-offs
• Steward process that helps, not hinders: the quality system, change control, and CI controls should make safe shipping faster, not slower
• Champion AI-augmented engineering as a force-multiplier for a small team, with verification and safety built in

Skills

• Experience leading engineering teams that shipped real software, with a credible technical foundation (you came up through backend/platform or can hold your own there)
• A track record of delivering under constraints — milestones, small teams, competing priorities — without burning the team out
• Strong judgment on architecture and trade-offs; you can dive into a design review and add signal
• Excellent communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfort building in a regulated, safety-critical, AI-augmented environment
• Regulated / health software (SaMD, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, HIPAA, FDA pathways)
• Scaling a team from a handful of engineers; standing up hiring and on-call
• Hands-on history with our stack (Python/FastAPI/AWS) or healthcare data (FHIR, wearables)
