Who We Are

The Position
We are a rapidly growing healthcare technology company seeking a Director of Engineering to lead Solution Engineering and Customer Support Operations within our Customer Engineering organization. Reporting directly to the Head of Customer Engineering, you will own our technical engagement with customers before and after implementation: shaping the right solution during the sales cycle, and ensuring stable, high-quality support once customers are live on the Ascend platform. You will partner closely with the Director of Implementations, Product, Sales, Customer Success, and Platform Engineering, and you will build and lead a blended team of onshore employees and offshore contractor partners. Our platform ingests, validates, masters, and analyzes complex specialty pharmacy, hub, and payer data, turning it into actionable insights for biopharmaceutical manufacturers. This role is primarily remote with occasional travel requirements of up to 25%.
Key Accountabilities
Leadership and Operations:
Build, lead, and develop a team of solution engineers, data engineers, and support engineers across onshore FTEs and offshore contractor partners, including hiring, onboarding, performance management, and career development.
Define team charters, operating models, and clear handoffs with Implementations (pre-sales to kickoff, and go-live to support) so customers experience one continuous Customer Engineering team.
Establish and report on metrics for both functions, such as SLA attainment, ticket volume and aging, incident trends, estimate accuracy, and solution win rates.
Own capacity planning, contractor vendor relationships, and budget for the teams in scope.
Solution Engineering:
Serve as the technical lead in pre-sales: lead discovery, solution design, technical demos, and responses to RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires.
Translate customer business requirements into solution designs that fit the standard Ascend offering, and identify where paid add-on services or custom extracts are needed.
Review SOWs and level-of-effort estimates for technical accuracy, scope, and delivery risk before they are signed.
Own the system architecture view for each customer engagement, covering data sources, ingestion, integrations, and outbound extracts.
Disposition product gaps surfaced during the sales cycle, routing them to Product with clear business context and customer impact.
Ensure a clean technical handoff to Implementations at kickoff, including documented scope, assumptions, and data source inventory.
Customer Support Operations:
Own post-go-live technical support for customers on the Ascend platform, including production support, issue triage, root cause analysis, and resolution.
Lead KTLO and sustainment for existing Ascend customers, and drive ongoing optimization to reduce cost and effort.
Build and scale the Ascend support model as new and existing customers go live, including runbooks, coverage, escalation paths, and SLAs.
Partner with Infrastructure and Platform Engineering on environment health, monitoring, data pipeline reliability, and access management.
Manage intake, prioritization, and delivery of customer enhancement requests and ongoing reporting needs.
Identify recurring issues and partner with Product and Engineering on permanent fixes that reduce support load.
Act as the escalation point for critical incidents and data quality issues, communicating clearly with customer and internal stakeholders.
