Job description

Bluesight is seeking an experienced Director of Engineering to lead and scale the engineering organization behind our portfolio of hospital pharmacy intelligence products. We help hospitals manage drug inventory, detect drug diversion, and realize substantial savings in drug costs — serving over 3,000 hospital and health system sites across the US and Canada.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who has scaled engineering organizations through growth inflection points, navigated post-acquisition integrations, and built the kind of high-trust, high-performance cultures that attract and retain exceptional engineers. You'll have meaningful technical influence across our product portfolio while operating as a key member of the engineering leadership team.


What you'll do
  • Lead multiple product engineering teams building multi-tenant, enterprise SaaS for hospital customers — owning the people, the process, and the outcomes

  • Build and sustain a high-performing engineering culture: develop engineering managers, drive accountability, and create clear paths for growth at every level

  • Partner with Product leadership to maintain technical health, manage delivery risk, and ensure products ship with quality and predictability

  • Drive cross-team collaboration — improving reuse, shared ownership, and alignment across engineering and internal platform teams

  • Mature our engineering practices: planning, architectural decision records (ADRs), documentation, quality, and engineering metrics (delivery, developer experience, reliability)

  • Own and manage cloud infrastructure costs at the team and product level

  • Lead or support integration of acquired engineering teams — setting standards, building trust, and accelerating time-to-cohesion

  • Participate in technical and architectural reviews, setting a high bar across your teams

  • Track record of scaling engineering organizations: hiring, developing managers, building career frameworks, and managing performance with clarity and empathy

  • Experience leading post-acquisition integrations — bringing teams into a culture without losing what made them good

  • Strong operator: you understand engineering metrics, can diagnose delivery problems, and know how to fix them without micromanaging

  • Deep partnership instincts — you build high-trust relationships with Product, Data, and Devops peers and know how to navigate tension constructively

  • Experienced managing cloud costs at scale; comfortable in AWS-first architectures

  • High EQ with a track record of leading through ambiguity, driving change, and saying no with clarity and respect

  • Exemplifies our core values: Get Stuff Done, Join Forces, Honor the Customer, Redefine Possible, and Have Fun


  • Nice to have
  • Experience with data-intensive or event-driven architectures (Kinesis, Step Functions, Serverless)

  • Familiarity with AWS cost optimization tooling (Cost Explorer, Savings Plans)
