Director of Engineering - Health

This is a high-impact technology leadership role where you'll shape and deliver modern healthcare platforms that matter to clients, to patients, and to the teams you lead.

As a DoT at Publicis Sapient, you'll operate as a true technology executive: setting direction, influencing senior client stakeholders, and building high-performing solutions and teams that deliver meaningful business outcomes.

You'll have real ownership, visibility, and the opportunity to help define how we bring cloud, data, and emerging technologies to life across complex healthcare environments. If you're energized by solving hard problems, leading strong teams, and driving transformation at scale, this role was built for you!

• Lead and grow engineering teams across complex, multi-workstream healthcare programs
• Influence client technology direction at the Director, VP, and CIO level
• Partner closely with Client Partners, Product, Design, and Data leaders
• Contribute to practice-level thinking, standards, and reusable approaches within Publicis Sapient

We're looking for a strong combination of technical depth, leadership capability, and consulting mindset.

Your Skills and Experience:

• Experience delivering complex platforms in regulated industries such as healthcare, life sciences, financial services, or similar environments
• Deep expertise in cloud-native architectures and large-scale data platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Strong background in application development using service-oriented and microservices-based architectures
• Technical fluency in Java or Python, with the ability to review designs, guide teams through delivery challenges, and engage credibly in code-level discussions
• Experience leading engineering teams of 10+ people across multiple workstreams
• Strength in systems integration, custom development, and enterprise-scale solution design
• Ability to distill complex problems into clear architectural approaches (e.g., Domain-Driven Design, data pipelines, messaging/event-driven systems)
• Strong communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and build alignment

• Familiarity with healthcare domains such as payer, provider, or life sciences
• Exposure to healthcare regulations and standards (e.g., HIPAA, HL7/FHIR), or the ability to quickly ramp into these areas

• Cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Experience applying AI, machine learning, or advanced analytics in enterprise environments
• Multi-geo or distributed delivery experience
• Interest in helping shape and grow a modern healthcare technology practice

This role offers a clear path to expanded leadership scope, including larger portfolios, broader influence across accounts, and opportunities to help shape Publicis Sapient's healthcare and engineering practices. You'll be supported in growing your impact, not just delivering today, but helping define what's next.
