About The Position

In Some Jobs You Take Orders. In This One, You Write History. Join the healthcare information technology team that’s turning drug and medical device data into knowledge used by thousands of hospitals; the majority of U.S. health plans, retail pharmacies, and pharmacy benefit managers; and millions of healthcare decision makers throughout the world. Partnering with our information system developer and healthcare institution customers, you’ll help evolve leading-edge thinking into reality and make a measurable difference in improving human health. We’re looking for people who are: Intelligent. Productive. Committed. Willing and able to go above and beyond. Passionate about making a difference. Innovative. Energized. And want to play an essential role in a successful company’s continued growth. Are you ready for this exciting challenge? FDB is seeking a Technical Product Manager who can operate at the intersection of product strategy, enterprise architecture, and engineering execution. In this role, you will help ensure that major product initiatives are technically feasible, architecturally sound, scalable, and aligned to long-term platform strategy. This is a highly technical, influence-driven role within the Technology organization. You will not be responsible for day-to-day backlog ownership or sprint management. Instead, you will serve as a technical thought partner to Product, Engineering, and executive stakeholders, translating strategic product direction into architectural options, implementation considerations, and clear business tradeoffs. This role is based out of FDB's Carmel, Indiana office and follows a hybrid work model, with an expectation to work onsite at least three days per week.

• Deep technical expertise in software architecture, distributed systems, API design, platform engineering, cloud-native infrastructure, or enterprise-scale application development.
• Strong ability to turn complex technical constraints into practical business tradeoffs and recommendations for Product, Engineering, and executive stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence decisions without direct authority.
• Strategic, analytical thinking across cost, time, scalability, resiliency, security, maintainability, and risk.
• A collaborative working style and demonstrated ability to build alignment across Product, Engineering, Architecture, Operations, Security, and business teams.
• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions architecture, enterprise architecture, technical product strategy, or a related technical leadership role.
• Demonstrated experience shaping or owning architectural decisions for production systems at scale.
• Experience working directly with product management, business leaders, or executive stakeholders in addition to engineering teams.
• Track record of operating across organizational boundaries and driving alignment on technically complex decisions.
• Hands-on experience using GenAI tools (e.g., vibe coding, AI-assisted prototyping, and requirements generation) to accelerate delivery and improve product outcomes to the Experience section.
• Experience as a Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, Solutions Architect, Enterprise Architect, Technical Product Strategist, or similar senior individual contributor is preferred.
• Familiarity with modern cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, and healthcare technology or clinical data environments is a plus.
