Why This Role Matters
Join us as we build and scale a mission‑critical COBRA administration platform that powers compliance-sensitive workflows for thousands of users. As our Engineering Team Lead, you'll guide a high-performing engineering team, own architectural decisions, and deliver systems where accuracy, reliability, and regulatory compliance are essential.
This is a role for someone who loves .NET engineering, distributed systems, and leading teams that build software with zero‑failure tolerance.
Why Work with Us
What You Bring
- Build Technology That Impacts Real People
- Own a Platform That Must Never Fail
- Work in a Secure, Regulated Environment
- Grow as a Technical Leader
Role Overview
You will lead the engineering team responsible for evolving our COBRA platform — a system that handles complex eligibility rules, time-sensitive workflows, and regulatory triggers. This role blends hands-on engineering, architectural ownership, and team leadership.
Core Responsibilities
1. Team Leadership & Delivery Excellence
- Lead, mentor, and grow engineers through coaching and structured feedback
- Own sprint planning, execution predictability, and delivery quality
- Align engineering priorities with product and regulatory requirements
- Identify risks, technical gaps, and compliance impacts early
- Build a culture of ownership, accountability, and engineering rigor
2. Architecture & System Design
- Own the long-term technical health of the COBRA platform
- Drive architectural decisions for new features, refactors, and modernization
- Ensure scalability, reliability, and maintainability
- Maintain architecture diagrams and technical documentation
- Identify and prioritize technical debt based on business impact
3. Hands-On Development & Quality
- Contribute to complex or high-risk components
- Lead technical design reviews and enforce engineering standards
- Ensure robust testing strategies and safe release practices
- Balance delivery velocity with long-term sustainability
4. Logical Design & Regulatory Modelling
- Translate COBRA rules, timelines, and eligibility logic into deterministic system behaviour
- Design rule engines and workflows that are predictable, testable, and auditable
- Ensure precision in time-bound triggers, notifications, and compliance events
- Identify hidden edge cases and systemic risks through strong analytical reasoning
5. Scalability, Reliability & Operational Excellence
- Design systems for fault tolerance, retries, and graceful degradation
- Lead root cause analysis and drive permanent fixes
- Improve observability: logging, monitoring, tracing, alerting
- Establish reliability KPIs aligned with business impact
- Reduce operational overhead and recurring failures
6. Security & Compliance
- Ensure adherence to HIPAA and internal security standards
- Drive secure coding practices and data protection mechanisms
- Ensure auditability, traceability, and data integrity
- Collaborate with security teams during audits and assessments
- Proactively identify vulnerabilities and compliance gaps
7. Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Product, Operations, and Compliance teams
- Communicate technical trade-offs and regulatory constraints clearly
- Ensure engineering decisions align with business and compliance goals
