About the job

Director of Engineering - Solution Architecture

Position Summary

Natera is leading the way in personalized genetic testing, revolutionizing disease management on a global scale. As we enhance our life-saving diagnostics, we are redefining our methodologies for developing sophisticated software solutions.

We are in search of a visionary and decisive Director of Engineering, Solution Architecture to spearhead the technical strategy for our foundational "Pillar" projects. You will act as a technical strategist, merging extensive architectural acumen with proactive execution. Your role will extend beyond mere solution design; you will establish the definitive "Plan of Record"—the architectural guidelines and reusable frameworks that will steer our engineering teams.

In this position, you will oversee a team of "Active Architects" who function as the Technical Quarterbacks for our most intricate projects. You will advocate for the development of intelligent, cloud-native systems that effectively balance speed and adaptability with the essential demands of architectural integrity, observability, and compliance with regulations.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership

  • Define the Technical Vision: Lead the formulation of comprehensive architectural strategies and frameworks that are in harmony with long-term business objectives. You will be accountable for the "Plan of Record"—the authoritative reference that specifies how business needs translate into scalable software.
  • Architectural Governance: Propel governance by establishing standards, performing in-depth reviews, and managing technical risks across initiatives. Create feedback mechanisms to identify "Architectural Drift" and take prompt actions to rectify any deviations from the design or to refine the designs as necessary.
  • Platform Evolution: Design and enhance cloud-native systems with an unwavering commitment to scalability, security, and observability. Develop reusable frameworks that direct teams in constructing high-performance services.

Product Execution

  • The "Technical Quarterback": Collaborate with Digital Product Managers and Product Integration Leads in a "Three-in-a-Box" model. You will own the "How," leading solution design, decomposition, and significant trade-off decisions.
