FastAuth is central to how we move specialty prescriptions through prior authorization faster, reducing the time between a prescription being written and a patient starting therapy. This is a role for a leader who manages significant complexity and can carry multiple major workstreams at once. You will own delivery, team health, and technical direction for FastAuth, and you will operate as a peer to the other engineering leaders in the value stream on decisions that reach beyond your own team. You will lead a group of skilled engineers working across React front ends, .NET services, and event-driven integrations on Azure, on a team that ships continuously and owns what it builds. What You'll Do Delivery and execution * Plan and execute across multiple workstreams, setting goals at the right altitude and holding the team accountable to them * Prioritize investment across your portfolio of projects and refocus effort when results are not moving the business forward * Run efficient operating cadences within SAFe, including PI planning, while minimizing work about work * Unblock the team by addressing root causes rather than symptoms * Ensure delivery results do not come at the expense of long-term growth, retention, or psychological safety Technical and strategic direction * Define a vision for FastAuth that aligns to value stream and company priorities, and bring engineers and cross-functional partners along with it * Partner with architects and staff engineers on design decisions across TypeScript, React, .NET, Azure, and event-driven architecture * Resolve misalignment with partner teams and stakeholders who hold different goals * Serve as a steady presence through change, and coach the team through complexity and ambiguity Team and talent * Attract, hire, and retain a diverse and talented engineering team, with an eye on long-term org health rather than the immediate opening * Interview and assess senior candidates, and keep your team calibrated as interviewers * Hold the team to clear performance expectations, motivating high performers and turning around low performers * Grow careers deliberately by matching development opportunities to individual goals and offering next-level work to those ready for it * Structure the team so the right people are in the right roles, and plan headcount for sustained success Collaboration and culture * Break down silos across engineering, product, design, and quality, and influence toward the best outcome for the business rather than the local optimum * Build deep cross-functional relationships, facilitate the right conversations, and settle disagreements by managing competing viewpoints * Disagree and commit when that is what moves a critical priority forward * Remove barriers to inclusion, surface cultural issues proactively, and follow through when something is off * Write and speak with clarity, tailoring the message to the audience, and share information so the right people stay aligned
