Director of Engineering

Build something monumental for Healthcare!

At Tandem Health we’re reimagining healthcare by putting clinicians first. Our platform - designed by clinicians, for clinicians - is built on deep insight into real-world pain points, with intuitive medical notes and workflows that truly support patient care.

We’re a fast-scaling health-tech company backed by top investors and expanding globally. We move fast, stay curious, and believe building something that matters starts with an extraordinary team. If you're passionate about impact and innovation, we'd love to meet you!

As Director of Engineering at Tandem, you’ll be responsible for shaping and evolving how engineering is done across the company. You’ll be the craft leader for engineering across the entire organisation, as well as the operational leader of the platform org.

Being the craft leader for engineering means you’ll be elevating how we build and ship software. Ensuring our practices and processes deliver high quality software at a rapid pace, and build an environment where great engineers can do their life’s work. And as the operational leader of the platform org you’ll lead the teams responsible for infra, devex, security and data, with the operational mandate do build out the needed platform.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about engineering culture and long-term technical quality. Someone who thinks deeply about developer experience, systems design, engineering velocity, and organizational effectiveness - without defaulting to heavyweight processes or unnecessary bureaucracy.

You’ll operate as both a strategic engineering leader and a hands-on technical contributor when needed. Some days that means discussing architecture decisions with engineers or improving development workflows. Other days it means helping teams align on engineering standards, improving technical execution across the organization, shaping how AI changes the way modern engineering teams operate, or helping the team leads in your organisation grow.
