About The Position

Verily, a subsidiary of Alphabet, is dedicated to transforming health management and healthcare delivery through a data-driven approach. Launched from Google X in 2015, its mission is to bring precision health to everyone daily by generating and activating data from diverse sources like clinical, social, behavioral, and real-world information. This enables the development of optimal solutions based on comprehensive evidence, leveraging Verily's expertise in technology, data science, and healthcare to improve health outcomes across the ecosystem. As a leader within the Sponsors, Payers, and Sites (SPS) engineering department, this role involves owning the technical strategy and engineering for systems powering Verily Pre. The organization is responsible for building the foundational Control Plane, which includes internal and external configuration systems designed to make the platform modular, multi-tenant, and rapidly deployable, thereby enabling Verily to scale. This high-leverage leadership position bridges technical architecture and business strategy, requiring close collaboration with Product and Engineering leadership to align vision and ensure that the platform's configuration capabilities directly accelerate the delivery of precision health solutions.

5+ years of experience managing engineering managers and leading technical strategy for large, multi-team organizations.
Proven track record of People Development, including experience hiring, mentoring, and scaling engineering management layers.
Demonstrated experience building and scaling Control Planes or configuration-driven platforms in a multi-tenant environment.
Ability to harmonize complex product requirements with engineering constraints to drive organizational velocity.

Nice To Haves

Leadership Depth: Experience leading organizations of 30-50+ individuals and a proven ability to develop high-potential talent into leadership roles.
Systemic Productivity: Experience defining and tracking metrics related to engineering productivity and developer experience (e.g., DORA metrics).

Responsibilities

Strategic Harmonization: Partner deeply with Product Management and Engineering Leadership to align the technical roadmap with Verily’s commercial goals. You will translate complex business needs into a cohesive configuration strategy, ensuring the platform scales elegantly for Sponsors, Payers, and Sites.
Orchestration & Extensibility: Drive the vision for a "configuration-first" architecture. You will oversee the engineering of systems that orchestrate environment provisioning and multi-tenant isolation, enabling rapid, automated onboarding of new partners without custom code.
Engineering Productivity & Velocity: Own the mission of driving organizational productivity. You will build the "paved paths" and configuration frameworks that reduce development friction, automate repetitive tasks, and allow the broader SPS organization to deploy high-quality features with industry-leading velocity.
Organizational Leadership (M3-M4): Lead a multi-team organization by managing a cadre of Engineering Managers and Staff Engineers. You are responsible for organizational design, headcount planning, and creating a culture of technical excellence and operational rigor.
People & Talent Development: Champion a culture of continuous growth. You will be responsible for building leadership pipelines, mentoring engineering managers, and establishing clear career development paths. You will foster an inclusive environment where high-performing engineers can do their best work.
Operational Excellence: Lead improvements to cross-functional business processes and effectively manage the trade-offs between short-term execution and medium-term architectural investments in the configuration plane.
