What the job involves

- Lantern Care is looking for a Director of Engineering to lead our Product Engineering organization.

- This role owns feature delivery across multiple engineering pods,



partnering closely with Product and business stakeholders to translate roadmap priorities into shipped, high–quality software.

- You will report to the VP of Engineering and play a central role in maturing how our engineering teams plan, build, and iterate

- Manage the delivery for multiple product engineering pods, ensuring predictable, high-quality releases against roadmap commitments

- Stand up and scale new engineering pods structured around iterative, agentic, loop-based development, defining team composition, cadence, and ways of working

- Partner with Product Management and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into executable work with clear context and constraints

- Maintain hands-on technical expertise in design, code, and deployments

- Coach and develop engineering managers and senior engineers, building a strong bench of technical leadership

- Drive engineering rigor and architecture standards via platform tools across the pods, including code quality, testing discipline, and architecture alignment, in partnership with QA and Architecture

- Drive scaled hiring, performance management, and career growth for the Product Engineering team

- Report on delivery health, velocity, risks, and escalations to senior leadership
