Job Description

The Quest Diagnostics Workforce Health Solutions (WHS) Engineering Team is where deep data meets enterprise-scale impact. We are a team of builders, modernizers, and strategic leaders who work passionately to apply modern cloud-native architectures, advanced analytics, and seamless EMR workflows to solve real-world healthcare challenges, empowering corporate employers to improve clinical outcomes for millions of patients across the nation.

Based primarily at our collaborative Lenexa, KS Technology Hub, we are seeking a highly strategic, proactive Director of Engineering to champion our technology roadmap from legacy transformation to next-generation product deployment.

Your immediate, high-stakes mission will be steering the final migration of national enterprise clients onto our brand-new, flagship client-facing platform. This role requires an execution-focused leader who is equally comfortable whiteboarding modern .NET/React architectures with engineers and presenting technology roadmaps to executive business sponsors.

The ideal candidate will be hybrid out of our Lenexa, KS site.

Pay Range: $155,000-$180,000/year + 20% Annual Incentive Plan

  • Strategic Influence: Collaborate with Product, Business, Architecture, and Enterprise Tech teams to shape product definitions, technical requirements, and long-term organizational strategy.
  • Budget & Asset Ownership: Manage the engineering division's budget, software asset lifecycles, operational risks, and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) proactively.

Global Team Engineering & Delivery Excellence

  • Global Team Management: Lead, mentor, and realign 3–4 agile software delivery teams consisting of approximately 30 engineers (a strategic mix of FTEs, contractors, and offshore resources in India).
  • Manager & IC Development: Actively coach and mature a newly appointed Engineering Manager and a talented group of technical ICs, guiding them through modern development standards.
  • Process Standardization: Establish, refine, and track internal engineering processes (CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, automated testing) aligned with broader Quest Enterprise standards.
  • Dependency & Vendor Coordination: Coordinate complex delivery timelines and technical dependencies across internal teams and external software vendors.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Change Management

  • Technical Consensus: Partner with Architecture, Security, Infrastructure, and Support organizations to resolve architectural hurdles and enforce engineering excellence.
  • High-Tenure Engagement: Lead the cultural evolution of a highly experienced, long-tenured team, leveraging strong change-management practices to foster innovation and modern agile mindsets.
  • Business Translation: Serve as the primary technical translator, communicating complex technology constraints and timelines clearly to diverse business partners and client success managers.

Qualifications

  • Legacy-to-Cloud Migration: A proven track record of taking complex legacy database platforms and porting them smoothly into cloud-native architectures.
  • Change Management: Experience leading teams through technical and cultural transformations, keeping developer engagement scores high during periods of transition.
  • Domain Context: While healthcare experience is highly valued, transformational leadership and strong engineering fundamentals is more important than industry tenure.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
