About the job

Director of Software Engineering - Product Integration

Position Overview

Natera is at the leading edge of personalized genetic testing, revolutionizing disease management across the globe. As we enhance our life-saving diagnostic capabilities, we are redefining our approach to software quality and reliability.

We are on the lookout for an experienced and innovative Director of Engineering, Product Integration to spearhead a newly established Product Integration team. You will shift our strategy from conventional, late-stage configuration testing to a proactive, comprehensive integration function designed to mitigate risks associated with our most intricate "Pillar" projects (e.g., LCGP, Signatera IVD).

This position calls for a leader who embodies an AI-native, hands-on, and highly autonomous mindset. You will not only manage a team but also serve as the "Integration Quarterback" for the engineering organization, establishing the "Golden Paths" through our distributed architecture and driving a milestone-based validation strategy incrementally. You will embrace the principles of agile, user-centered development, utilizing modern tools to maximize efficiency and ensure our software operates flawlessly from order to report.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership & Vision

  • Transform Integration Strategy: Lead the evolution from the traditional "PSPC" model to a contemporary, risk-based integration strategy. Articulate a vision where testing is not a hindrance but a continuous, value-added process integrated into the development lifecycle.
  • High Agency Execution: Foster a culture of urgency and accountability. Actively identify integration risks during the design phase (shifting left) rather than waiting for code freeze.
  • AI-Native Leverage: Innovate the application of AI and LLMs to transform testing. Develop strategies to auto-generate test cases from PRDs, leverage AI for intelligent log analysis and root cause identification, and significantly enhance team productivity.

Product Integration & Execution

  • The "Quarterback" Model: Act as the integration lead for key company initiatives. Collaborate with Solution Architects to establish "Integration Milestones" and derive iterative builds from component teams to progressively validate workflows.
  • End-to-End Ownership: Oversee the validation of critical business processes across the entire stack (Portal → LIMS → Lab Execution → Bioinformatics).

About Natera
