Technology Lead

About the role: As a Technology Lead, you will efficiently service business operations and growth and be a strong leader for the team.  You will join a dynamic team of leaders who are focused on improving the lives of seniors with serious illness.   You like to get stuff done! You will create and execute on complex project plans and prioritize activities with the Leadership Team. You will lead the Technology team to ensure alignment around scope and prioritization of activities and deliver timely, high-quality results. You will be structured and focused to enable parallel work on  multiple projects. You will manage your team with respect and help them deliver their best work. You will lead meetings to help the team meet objectives, make decisions, and identify next steps.   The Technology Lead will report directly to the Vice President of Operations, a healthcare leader with 15+ years experience in clinical and market operations, strategy, growth and partnerships. This position will require you to be an individual contributor and to manage a small team of Engineers, a Dev Ops Lead and an Infrastructure Manager.  You will work cross-functionally to coordinate with Data & Analytics, Growth and Ops teams.   Empassion is a remote company, fully distributed across the United States. We prioritize asynchronous work and communication but are quick to get on a call, Zoom, or even flight if the situation requires higher fidelity discussion. You will have the opportunity to spend time with colleagues in person, including monthly meetings in NYC and an all-team offsite 1-2x per year (location varies).

We recognize the value of autonomy, flexibility, and ownership while keeping sight of the importance of real-life experiences. We do not accept anything less than respectful, supportive, and growth-oriented teammates.
