Director of Engineering, Platform Evolution

Key Responsibilities

Turn broad strategy into bounded engineering bets that can be shaped, staffed, and delivered.

Lead the first reusable cross‑product platform capabilities that reduce friction across systems such as Somnoware, Virtu Ox, Brightree, and adjacent DHP services.

Build and lead a lean, senior team in San Diego with a strong bias toward clarity, technical judgment, and practical delivery.

Work directly with Product Management and peer engineering leaders to reduce translation loss between business intent and implementation.

Help advance AI‑native ways of working by using software agents and modern tooling in real delivery, not as a side experiment.

Strong Builder‑Leader:
Operated at Director level but still has the technical depth and credibility of a Staff, Principal, or equivalent senior engineer. Candidates should bring 10+ years of software engineering experience and 5+ years leading engineering teams in ambiguous, high‑change environments.

Hands‑on development experience in modern backend and platform systems, especially Java, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, and cloud‑native service environments.

Real experience evolving existing platforms and product architectures, including decomposition of monoliths, scalability, resiliency, observability, and security.

Strong engineering fundamentals: testing discipline, source control, pull requests, release practices, developer documentation, and automated quality gates.

Ability to contribute directly to architecture, design, prototyping, technical decomposition, and where appropriate, implementation.

Demonstrable experience using tools such as Git Hub Copilot, Claude Code, OpenAI, Gemini, or equivalent in real software delivery work, with a clear point of view on where these tools help and where stronger engineering judgment still matters.

Ability to speak credibly both as a builder and as a leader about how AI is changing software development.

This team will start small, so the Director cannot be purely managerial in the early phase. The role requires someone who can lead, build, and help establish the engineering patterns for a strategically important area at the same time. The scope is also intentionally cross‑product. This is not ownership of a single application or a narrow platform subsystem. It is a role for a leader who can identify the right reusable moves, work effectively across product and engineering boundaries, and build momentum without overbuilding.

Resmed is building the digital foundation for a more connected sleep health future. The Digital Health Platform sits at the center of that work, connecting devices, patients, providers, and applications. This role is a chance to shape how that platform evolves next, while helping define what strong engineering leadership looks like in an AI‑native environment. If you are a technically credible engineering leader who still likes building, has strong instincts for platform work, and has firsthand experience using modern AI tools in real delivery, this is the kind of role where that combination matters.

We are shaping the future at Res Med, and we recognize the need to build on and broaden our existing skills and continue to attract and retain the world’s best talent. We work hard to offer holistic benefits packages, provide flexible work arrangements, cultivate a workforce culture that allows employees to grow personally and professionally, and deliver competitive salaries to our team members.
