The Mission

As the Vice President of Client Technology, you aren't just managing servers; you are the guardian of the digital infrastructure that powers patient care.

At Altera Digital Health, we are transitioning from legacy models to a future-ready, cloud-first ecosystem.

You will be the bridge between visionary strategy and "sleeves-rolled-up" execution.

We need a leader who can navigate the complexities of the Public Cloud while fostering a culture of radical reliability and operational brilliance.

Core Responsibilities


* Strategic Architecture: Architect and execute the long-term roadmap for cloud and hosting operations, prioritizing a multi-cloud strategy across Azure and AWS.


* Operational Resilience: Own the 24/7 availability of customer-facing platforms, ensuring world-class uptime in environments where performance literally saves lives.


* Elite Team Leadership: Scale and mentor a globally distributed organization of engineers, architects, and SREs, moving from a reactive support model to a proactive "Engineering Ops" mindset.


* Incident Command: Serve as the ultimate authority during critical incidents, leading post-mortems that drive permanent structural improvements rather than just "quick fixes."


* Financial Stewardship: Modernize Cloud FinOps by managing multi-million-dollar budgets, optimizing consumption, and ensuring high ROI on infrastructure spend.


* Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with Product and Security leaders to bake "Privacy by Design" and scalability into the core of our software delivery lifecycle.

* The Veteran: 12+ years of progressive leadership in Cloud Infrastructure or Managed Services, specifically within high-compliance sectors (Healthcare, Fintech, or GovCloud).


* The Cloud Expert: You can still "talk shop" with architects about Kubernetes clusters, latency optimization, and CI/CD pipelines in Public Cloud environments.


* The Crisis Pilot: A proven ability to remain calm and decisive during high-pressure outages or security events.


* The Change Agent: Experience leading organizations through digital transformation—specifically moving from on-prem/hosted legacy systems to modern cloud architectures.


* The Communicator: You can translate "five-nines" reliability into business value for C-suite executives and hospital-system stakeholders.

What Would Set You Apart


* Automation Obsession: A track record of using AI/ML or advanced automation to optimize processes, confirm architectural standards are deployed and optimized, drive revenue and cost optimization.


* Security Mastery: Beyond standard compliance, you possess the vision to implement "Zero-Trust" architectures and Automated Threat Detection that turn security from a bottleneck into a selling point for risk-averse healthcare systems.


* Predictive Performance Engineering: ...
