Sr. Director, Data & Integrations Engineering

Cedar is a leading healthcare technology company focused on improving the healthcare system through data science and smart product design. They are seeking a Sr. Director of Data & Integrations Engineering to lead a team of engineers in building a new enterprise data foundation and expanding integration capabilities, ensuring operational excellence and delivery predictability.

Responsibilities:

• Establish and maintain the processes, rituals, and accountability structures that keep three parallel workstreams (greenfield platform work, client-facing implementations, and live production operations) shipping on time and with high quality
• Grow an effective layer of engineering managers and help them build high-performing, engaged teams
• Own the reliability and SLA performance of Cedar's integration systems
• Partner with the Principal Data Architect to keep Cedar's data platform transition on track: migration from legacy systems, adoption of new architecture across the organization, and ensuring that downstream consumers (product engineering, data science, analytics, and AI/ML) have trusted, accessible data when they need it
• Reduce the time and cost of onboarding new clients and enabling new product lines
• Build the structures (intake processes, prioritization frameworks, escalation paths) that protect your teams from the constant pull of ad-hoc requests and shifting priorities
• Build effective relationships with Product, Data Science, Commercial, and Delivery Engineering

Requirements:

• 12+ years in software engineering or technical implementation, with meaningful time in data-intensive, integration-heavy, or platform domains
• 8+ years in engineering leadership, including 4+ years managing managers, ideally with direct experience overseeing an org of 30+ engineers
• Solid technical grounding in integration systems and data. You engage credibly with principals and managers on architecture trade-offs, operational risk, and build-vs-buy decisions
• High tolerance for ambiguity, with a demonstrated talent for reducing it
• Operational instincts. You've owned SLAs, on-call programs, incident management, or client-facing reliability commitments, and you've built the systems and culture to sustain them
• Effective cross-functional stakeholder management, including executive presence
• Healthcare domain experience, particularly in revenue cycle management, EHR data models, or healthcare interoperability (HL7/FHIR)
• AI-forward mindset. You believe agentic developer tooling is a genuine force accelerator, not a passing trend
