Repisodic, a Trella Health Solution, is the leading provider of discharge automation software for U.S. health systems. Our EHR-integrated platform streamlines discharges from hospitals and health systems, driving better patient outcomes and higher operational efficiency. By replacing legacy referral systems with modern, scalable software, we empower care teams to focus on patients — not paperwork.

We are a fast-growing, mission-driven company working at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and patient advocacy. As demand for our platform grows across the country, we are looking for a bold, visionary Director of Software Engineering to help us lead the way

Position Overview:

We are seeking an experienced, strategic, and technically exceptional Director of Software Engineering to join our executive team to lead our engineering team through its next phase of growth. This person must be a hands-on leader and set the company’s long-term technology vision, manage platform reliability and innovation, and build a high-performing engineering team.

This role will report to the Founder & General Manager of Repisodic and will work cross-functionally with engineering, product, operations, client success, and business development. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable defining technology strategy at a board meeting as they are digging into system architecture or mentoring a rising engineering manager.

Location: This is a hybrid position requiring 1 day a week in our Philadelphia office.

Director of Software Engineering Responsibilities:

Platform Execution

• Oversee the development, deployment, and scaling of Repisodic’s cloud-based, EHR-integrated SaaS platform.
• Ensure platform performance, uptime, data security, and compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2, etc.).
• Identify and implement emerging technologies that deliver competitive advantage and user value.
• Ensure secure and scalable integrations with major EHR systems (e.g., Epic, Cerner), insurance platforms, and other third-party APIs.
• Balance rapid development with sound technical decision-making and sustainable architecture.

Engineering Management

• Hire, manage, and grow a world-class team of engineers, DevOps professionals, and technical leaders.
• Foster a high-performance engineering culture grounded in innovation, ownership, agility, and continuous learning.
• Implement agile development best practices and robust QA, CI/CD, and monitoring systems.
• Ensure that continuous improvement and technical debt reduction does not get forgotten
• Manage a highly skilled and motivated team to optimize team functioning, business output, and individual growth.
  

Technical Operations

• Lead release management process, including branch management, QA, documentation, and deployments
• Define and manage technology KPIs, budgets, and vendor relationships.
• Collect feedback from internal teams, customers, and stakeholders and use it to generate actionable technical tickets.
  

This job might be a fit for you if you have: 

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering with at least 5 years in a technology leadership role.
• Proven ability to scale and manage high-growth engineering organizations, ideally within B2B SaaS or digital health.
• Strong knowledge of modern tech stacks (e.g., React, Java, MySQL, AWS).
• Deep understanding of EHRs (Epic, Cerner, MediTech) and EHR integrations, interoperability standards (FHIR, HL7), and HIPAA-compliant architectures.
