Guided by our mission to make the world’s health data secure, accessible and actionable, we provide critical data solutions for organizations across the healthcare ecosystem - including providers, health plans, researchers, and life sciences companies. From fulfilling a single patient’s request for their medical records to powering the AI revolution in healthcare, Datavanters are building the future of how data is connected and used to improve health. By joining Datavant today, you’re stepping onto a driven and highly collaborative team that is passionate about creating transformative change in healthcare. Role Overview The VP of Infrastructure Cloud Engineering owns the architecture, reliability, and operational maturity of Datavant's cloud infrastructure, site reliability engineering, and compute platforms. This role is accountable for everything beneath the application layer: cloud platform engineering, core infrastructure governance, site reliability across all business verticals, virtual desktop environments serving thousands of concurrent clinical users, cloud cost management across a large footprint, and the infrastructure integration playbook for MA. Today, this domain reflects the complexity of a company that has grown rapidly: multiple cloud providers, dozens of accounts with varying governance maturity, an expanding international footprint, embedded SRE teams across business verticals, and infrastructure that must simultaneously support regulated healthcare workloads and aggressive AI adoption. The cloud platform layer powers hundreds of microservices across Kubernetes and serves as the deployment and observability backbone for the entire technology organization. Core infrastructure, cloud account governance, networking, VDI, and physical infrastructure, requires strong architectural ownership as the environment scales and compliance expectations increase. This is an executive operator role, not advisory. The VP will inherit a strong technical foundation built by experienced engineering leaders and is expected to elevate it into a mature, enterprise-grade infrastructure organization — one with clear standards, measurable reliability, cost discipline, and the capacity to absorb growth and future integrations without breaking. The role has direct authority over cloud platform engineering, SRE, core infrastructure, VDI, and is accountable for platform reliability, infrastructure cost efficiency, MA integration readiness, and operational maturity across the domain. Key Responsibilities Cloud Platform Engineering Own the architecture and evolution of Datavant's cloud platform layer: Kubernetes (EKS), CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, developer self-service capabilities, and workload management Drive platform convergence across acquisition-inherited environments toward a consistent, well-governed architecture Establish platform abstractions that enable product engineering teams to ship faster without creating infrastructure sprawl or compliance risk Own the observability strategy, ensuring monitoring, alerting, and tracing are consistent, actionable, and trusted across all environments Partner with Security to ensure cloud platform controls satisfy HIPAA, SOC 2, and emerging compliance requirements without creating delivery bottlenecks Site Reliability Engineering Own the SRE function end-to-end: core platform SRE, embedded vertical SRE teams, and the operating model that governs how reliability is delivered across business units Define and enforce reliability standards, SLOs, error budgets, capacity planning, and on-call practices across a multi-vertical healthcare platform Lead incident management for infrastructure and platform incidents, ensuring rapid triage, clear escalation, effective resolution, and durable postmortems Scale the embedded SRE model across Provider, Payer, Life Sciences, and Legal Insurance verticals with c ...
