Omada Health is on a mission to bend the curve of chronic disease.
Job overview:
The Eligibility & Revenue Systems are the enterprise backbone that makes the employer and health plan business work: they ingest files, determine eligibility, power billing, and integrate incentives so customers can get members into care without friction. Together they cover Omada's part of the employer and health plan revenue cycle: file ingestion and partner integrations, eligibility, and claims and invoicing.
The role:
An experienced Director of Engineering is needed to lead multiple teams responsible for the Eligibility & Revenue Systems. These are the systems that lets Sales sell what can actually be delivered, make implementation predictable, and keep customers trusting Omada's operational backbone.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who understands that commercial and operations are the reason Omada works; the technology serves their commitments. The role owns the technical strategy and execution for the Eligibility & Revenue Systems, with clear OKRs, strong instrumentation, and disciplined planning to deliver consistently against reliability, scale, compliance, and partnership outcomes.
What you'll lead:
You will lead multiple engineering teams (and their managers) across the Eligibility & Revenue Systems, all serving the same set of users: internal operators and Commercial stakeholders.
The mandate is simple and hard: build and evolve the platform Commercial and operations partners trust, keep using, and can scale on year after year. Reliability, data integrity, contract fidelity, and SOX-aware auditability are not negotiable.
How you'll make an impact:
- Own the technical and execution strategy for the Eligibility & Revenue Systems: file ingestion, eligibility, billing, incentives, and the shared components that connect them.
- Partner closely with Commercial, Implementation, Finance, and other EPD leaders to keep the platform aligned with the sales pipeline, upcoming deals, and operational constraints.
- Define B2B Core OKRs and success metrics, and lead the teams to deliver against quarterly commitments with transparency and predictable execution.
- Ensure the platform scales each year: capacity, performance, and operability all improve as volumes and complexity grow.
- Raise the bar on architecture and shared components between B2B Core and other systems, reducing duplication and tightening interfaces.
- Hire and develop managers, plus Staff engineers and future leaders.
- Set a high bar for craft, performance, reliability, data integrity, and auditability. Commercial and customers notice the small things; getting the small things right is how trust is earned and kept.
- Build the relationship with Commercial so pipeline visibility and contract requirements show up as early inputs, not late surprises. Partner with Product on roadmap and assessing commercial opportunities.
- Work with Platform and other EPD domains on shared services, while owning reliability outcomes and operational excellence for everything B2B Core-facing.
- Ensure the Eligibility & Revenue Systems meet SOX and other relevant compliance requirements: controls are clear, changes are auditable, and financial flows are traceable end-to-end, in tight partnership with Finance and Security.
- Apply AI in the day job as a hard requirement: use AI and automation to improve engineering leverage, operational decision-making, workflow quality, and team effectiveness, while holding a high bar for trust and control.
This role is for you if you:
- Understand enterprise platforms that sit between Sales, implementation, and operations, and treat reliability and data integrity as product features.
- Are comfortable holding multiple team shapes at once: complicated subsystem, platform, and stream-aligned.
- Excel at influence and tight partnership with Product, Commercial, Implementation, Finance, and Platform. Teams align to a single narrative from pipeline insight through shipped change.
- Believe that great engineering reduces operational load, on-call fatigue, and customer escalations at the same time.
- Are comfortable in regulated, trust-heavy environments and treat privacy, security, SOX constraints, and contract fidelity as guardrails you design within from day 0.
- Turn ambiguous, multi-stakeholder goals into clear priorities and execution plans for teams.
- Have applied AI in the day job and can bring that same bar here: practical automation, better workflows, measured outcomes, and clear guardrails.
Required:
- 10+ years of experience in engineering leadership, including 3+ years managing managers.
- Experience leading multiple engineering teams in a trust-heavy, operator-facing domain, with a high bar for reliability and operator/customer trust.
- Proven ability to define success metrics and hold teams accountable to outcomes, not just output, in an Agile environment.
- Proven ability to lead quarterly planning and OKRs across multiple teams, including capacity planning, organizational design, dependency management, and data-driven course correction.
- Experience hiring, developing, and retaining high-performing engineering leaders, including standing up new teams or reshaping existing ones.
- Strong technical judgment in distributed systems, data pipelines, and integration architectures.
- Accountable for a healthy 24/7 on-call and reliability culture: reducing toil, improving incident response, and strengthening learning loops.
- Comfortable working with non-engineering operators and earning their trust on tooling and platform changes that affect their daily work.
- Experience leading business-critical platforms in regulated or audited environments (SOX, SOC-2, PCI, or similar), with the ability to own SOX responsibilities in partnership with Finance, Security, and Audit. You don't have to be a compliance specialist, but you know how to design systems and processes that pass scrutiny.
- Shipped AI- or automation-enabled improvements to user or operator workflows, and led teams to use AI to do their work better.
- Track record of predictable delivery: turning ambiguity into clear plans, managing dependencies, and hitting commitments without sacrificing quality.
- Background building tools for implementation, eligibility, billing, incentives, benefits, prior authorization, PBM integrations, or other operator-facing enterprise workflows.
- Experience integrating with Commercial and Finance as partners, including clear ownership boundaries for requirements, SLAs, and data contracts.
- Experience leading platform modernization or re-architecture in a complex, legacy-plus-new environment.
- Familiarity with Team Topologies vocabulary (stream-aligned, platform, enabling, complicated subsystem) and how to apply it.
- Hands-on technical background that helps with diving deep when needed.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary with generous annual cash bonus
- Equity grants
- Employee stock purchasing plan (ESPP)
- Remote first work from home culture
- Flexible Time Off to help you rest, recharge, and connect with loved ones
- Generous parental leave
- Health, dental, and vision insurance (and above market employer contributions)
- 401k retirement savings plan
- Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA)

Tips for Your Director of Systems Engineering Job Search
Quantify your systems scale and scope
Hiring managers for this role want to see the scale you've operated at: number of engineers led, system throughput, uptime targets met, and infrastructure cost reductions. Replace vague ownership claims with concrete outcomes tied to system reliability or engineering velocity.
Align your resume to the domain
Defense, cloud, and telecom employers all call this role director of systems engineering but expect very different technical depth. Tailor your resume to match the domain's language, whether that's MIL-STD compliance, distributed microservices, or RF systems architecture, before you apply.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists director of systems engineering openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target roles by reporting structure
Some director of systems engineering postings report to a CTO, others to a VP of Product or a program manager. The reporting line signals whether the role is primarily technical leadership or cross-functional coordination. Read the org chart signals in the job description before applying.
Prepare a system design narrative for interviews
Expect at least one technical panel where you walk through a large-scale system you architected or transformed. Prepare a clear before-and-after story covering constraints, tradeoffs, and measurable outcomes, not just the technical decisions you made.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
At the director level, headcount authority, budget ownership, and cross-team decision rights vary enormously between companies. Clarify these in the offer conversation, not after you start, since they directly determine whether you can execute what you were hired to do.
Director of Systems Engineering Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most director of systems engineerings?
The most active employers for director of systems engineerings right now are Werfen, Price Industries Limited, and CAE, and the most openings are in Georgia, California, and Utah, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially concentrated in defense contractors, cloud infrastructure companies, and enterprise software firms.
How many director of systems engineering jobs are remote?
About 83% of director of systems engineering openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the share varies significantly by industry. Cloud, SaaS, and enterprise software roles are the most likely to offer remote flexibility, while defense, aerospace, and embedded systems positions typically require on-site or clearance-facility presence.
How do you become a director of systems engineering?
Most directors of systems engineering progress through individual contributor roles in systems, platform, or infrastructure engineering before moving into staff or principal engineer positions, then into engineering management. Building a record of leading complex cross-functional projects, mentoring engineers, and driving architectural decisions across organizational lines is what moves candidates from senior engineer to director.
Can you get a director of systems engineering job without direct management experience?
It's possible but uncommon. Some employers will consider a highly senior principal or staff engineer who has led large cross-functional technical programs, even without formal people management on their resume. The stronger your record of influencing engineering decisions at scale, driving standards adoption, and coordinating work across multiple teams, the more negotiable the people management requirement becomes.
What does the director of systems engineering interview process look like?
The process typically runs four to six rounds and includes a recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on leadership philosophy and scope of past roles, a technical panel covering system design and architecture decisions at scale, a cross-functional panel with product and program stakeholders, and a final executive conversation. Some companies add a written case study or a presentation on a past systems transformation.
Where can I find and apply to director of systems engineering jobs?
You can find and apply to director of systems engineering jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your domain and seniority, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and target.
