Are you interested in harnessing technology and AI to transform healthcare?

At Xi Fin , we believe a healthier, more efficient healthcare system starts with strong financial and operational foundations. Our innovative technologies help diagnostic providers, laboratories, and healthcare systems manage complexity, drive better outcomes, and stay focused on what matters most:

.

We’re on a mission to simplify the business side of healthcare—and we know that mission takes people from all backgrounds and experiences. Whether you’re early in your career or bringing years of expertise, we welcome your perspective, your curiosity, and your passion. We value individuals who ask questions, challenge the status quo, and want to grow while making a real difference.

We are seeking a technical, strategic engineering leader who can scale teams, drive execution, and lead our evolution into AI-driven and highly automated solutions.

This role is responsible for building, mentoring, and leading a high-performing engineering organization while setting a clear technical vision across modern SaaS and cloud-based ecosystems. The ideal candidate brings a balance of hands‑on technical expertise and executive-level leadership, with a proven ability to translate business needs into scalable, secure, and forward‑looking solutions.

You will lead teams through all phases of the software development lifecycle while fostering a culture of ownership, innovation, and continuous improvement. This leader will play a critical role in driving automation, operational efficiencies, and the integration of AI‑driven capabilities into our products and processes.

Success in this role requires strong cross‑functional partnership, influencing across Product, Analytics, and IT, and the ability to align distributed (onshore/offshore) teams under a unified vision.

This position will be located at our offices in San Diego, CA.

In this role, you’ll:

• Lead, develop, and scale high‑performing engineering teams, fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous growth
• Define and execute technical strategy and roadmaps aligned to business priorities, with a strong focus on AI adoption, automation, and system scalability
• Drive end‑to‑end delivery of complex engineering initiatives, ensuring projects are executed efficiently and brought to completion
• Partner cross‑functionally with Product, Analytics, and IT to translate business needs into technical solutions
• Establish and promote data‑driven decision‑making across engineering and product development
• Provide hands‑on technical leadership in architecture, system design, and code quality standards
• Champion modern development practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, and scalable cloud‑native architectures
• Lead efforts to identify, evaluate, and implement emerging technologies, including AI/ML and automation tools, to improve efficiency and product capability
• Ensure systems are secure, maintainable, and scalable to support future growth
• Communicate technical concepts and progress effectively to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, including executive leadership
• Support customer implementations and foster a service‑oriented engineering mindset

We’re looking for someone with a growth mindset and a passion for learning. You might be a great fit if you:

• Drives clarity in ambiguity — able to quickly assess complex, evolving environments and align teams around a clear, actionable path forward, balancing speed with thoughtful decision‑making
• Leads through influence and trust — builds strong cross‑functional partnerships and earns credibility at all levels, effectively aligning Product, Engineering, and business stakeholders without relying on authority alone
• Thinks in systems, not silos — connects technology decisions to broader business…
