Data Team Lead

Description

You’ve designed scalable systems. You’ve led high-performing teams. Now, you want more — real ownership, complex technical challenges, and the chance to make a real-world, life-saving impact.

At TailorMed, we believe no patient should be denied care because of financial barriers. Our platform connects patients to financial resources, unlocking life-saving treatments. And behind it all? Data. Lots of it. Complex, messy, and mission-critical.

Now, we’re rebuilding. And we’re looking for a Data Engineering Team Lead who doesn’t want to babysit legacy systems—but wants to architect next-gen platforms, scale them to millions of records, and drive AI-powered solutions that make a measurable difference.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Own:

• Total end-to-end responsibility for our data systems: ingestion, processing, business logic, scale, and performance.
• Lay the groundwork for AI initiatives—starting with AI-powered teammates for financial navigators and expanding to future AI-driven capabilities, helping shape the strategy, infrastructure, and technical approach as the AI roadmap evolves.
• Architect our new data platform—make bold decisions to support both horizontal & vertical scaling, balancing performance, reliability, and cost.
• Build from scratch the infrastructure for our advanced analytics platform—laying the groundwork for real-time insights and smarter healthcare decisions.
• Lead & grow a sharp, passionate team, fostering a culture of ownership, innovation, and technical excellence.
• Partner closely with R&D, Product, and healthcare stakeholders—your decisions shape not just the platform, but patient outcomes.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years hands-on backend development experience, ideally Node.js & AWS (but your architecture skills matter more than your syntax preferences).
• 2+ years managing and mentoring engineering teams.
• Deep experience designing large-scale, multi-tenant SaaS systems—you know how to scale, not just technically but cost-effectively.
• A love for tough problems: messy data, real-world constraints, complex business logic.
• Strong communicator, driven by collaboration but confident making bold technical calls.
• A deep sense of ownership—you don’t just deliver features, you own the system.

Why TailorMed?

Because here, you’re not just optimizing an existing product—you’re architecting the future of healthcare data, from the ground up. You’ll have full ownership, technical freedom, and the satisfaction of knowing your work directly impacts people’s lives.

Looking for your next big challenge? Let’s build it together.
