Software Engineering Manager - Enterprise Engineering

Datavant is the data collaboration platform trusted for healthcare. Guided by our mission to make the world’s health data secure, accessible and actionable, we provide critical data solutions for organizations across the healthcare ecosystem - including providers, health plans, researchers, and life sciences companies. From fulfilling a single patient’s request for their medical records to powering the AI revolution in healthcare, Datavanters are building the future of how data is connected and used to improve health. By joining Datavant today, you’re stepping onto a driven and highly collaborative team that is passionate about creating transformative change in healthcare. What We're Looking For At Datavant, we value engineering leaders who solve hard problems properly and build well-structured, reliable systems grounded in strong software fundamentals. As a Software Manager, you will play a key role in growing our healthcare data ecosystem. You will lead and develop engineers working on complex, high-impact capabilities that sit at the heart of how health data is used safely and effectively. You will be trusted with meaningful responsibility from the start, shaping technical direction, raising standards, and contributing directly to the success of the product and the business. In This Role You Will

• Build, grow, and lead a high-calibre team of engineers responsible for the core platforms that power Datavant’s Enterprise Engineering function. Set a high bar for quality, pace, and accountability, and create a team that takes real pride in its work.
• Shape and own the technical direction for Enterprise Engineering, ensuring it supports Datavant’s broader mission to make health data secure, accessible, and useful. Make sure the architecture is sound, scalable, and built for the long term.
• Work shoulder to shoulder with product and design to deliver practical value to customers. Focus on solving real problems in a way that is reliable, compliant, and commercially meaningful.
• Play a central role in the success of the Enterprise Engineering organisation. Help drive impact by bringing clarity to how platform capability, business priorities, regulatory requirements, and product needs come together into strong, scalable systems.
• Lead innovation with purpose. Put clear structure around how new ideas are assessed, prioritised, and delivered so that we move quickly without losing discipline or trust.
• Stay close to the detail when it matters. Step in to lead complex or high-impact initiatives directly, particularly where judgement, pace, or technical depth are critical.
• Communicate with intent. Coach and mentor engineers and leaders alike, building a culture where people take ownership, support one another, and consistently deliver for customers and the business.

What You Bring To The Table

• You’re driven to build something that reshapes healthcare in a meaningful way, not in theory but in practice. You care about making a real difference and taking on problems that are worth solving.
• You have a strong competitive streak. You set a high bar, bring people with you, and see things through. You understand that winning comes from steady, disciplined execution rather than noise.
• You’re as comfortable setting direction as you are getting into the detail. You can step back to define strategy and step in to untangle a difficult technical problem. Your teams respect you because you lead with them, not above them.
• You move with purpose. You are willing to make the hard calls, even when they are unpopular, and you do not hide from ambiguity. You gather what you need, make a call, and get on with it.
• You are known as someone who brings order to complexity. When things feel unclear or stuck, you bring structure and momentum. You build teams that are capable, accountable, and proud of the work they deliver.
• You have led high-performing engineering organisations, ideally within healthcare or another regulated environment such as financial services, where quality, security, and reliability are non-negotiable. You understand how to operate within constraints without using them as excuses.
• You are organised, dependable, and steady under pressure. Your teams ship what they say they will. Your plans are thought through. Your systems scale because you have built them properly.
• Most importantly, you are not looking to simply manage a team. You want to build something that stands the test of scale and time.
