Engineering Lead
Join Verdance and help improve government digital services!
About the role
Verdance is looking for an Engineering Lead to help drive success on ambitious government healthcare technology projects. You’ll join a mission-driven company partnering with government agencies to build secure, scalable, and user-centered digital public services.
You’ll ultimately play a leadership role on a team of 10-20 engineers broken into several scrum teams, but we may ask you to have a stint as an individual contributor during a ramp up period of several months. You’ll have significant influence over engineering standards, architecture decisions, and team culture. We’re especially looking for someone who is excited to help public sector teams adopt AI tooling in development workflows.
What You'll Do:
Provide technical leadership across scrum teams
Help define engineering standards, workflows, and development best practices
Mentor engineers through code reviews, technical guidance, and collaborative problem-solving
Guide adoption of modern AI tooling and keep a pulse on evolving AI-augmented engineering workflows
Ensure critical healthcare software systems are maintainable, secure, and extremely reliable
Contribute to a collaborative, thoughtful, and mission-oriented engineering culture
Our Top Priorities for this Role:
7+ years of engineering experience, likely 10+ unless your background is close to a perfect match on all other attributes, with several years of leadership experience
Experience leading engineering teams in healthcare, health data systems, or regulated environments
Deep interest in helping teams become more productive and efficient
Strong understanding of AWS/cloud infrastructure development
Ability to balance strategic leadership with hands-on technical execution
Experience driving engineering processes, technical direction, and team alignment
Here’s What We’re Offering in Return:
$150k-$177k salary range (depending on seniority)
4 weeks PTO per year + federal holidays
Insurance, including dental and vision
401(k) with 4% match
12 weeks paid parental leave
Flexible work schedule
A interview process that respects your time
Some Administrative Requirements of Our Government Contracts:
Work authorization in the US
All work must take place in the continental US
Team members must have lived in the US for 3 out of the past 5 years
Ability to pass a public trust government background investigation
A little more about us
Verdance is a public interest technology firm, spun up to help government partners navigate critical technology challenges.
We believe great public technology can meaningfully improve people’s lives — and we’re building a team that cares deeply about doing that work thoughtfully, responsibly, and well.
