VP, Engineering (Apps & Solutions)

About this role

About League

League is one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Canada and the leading healthcare experience platform. Getting healthcare is often the easy part — finishing it is where things fall apart: people book the appointment and skip the follow-up, fill the prescription and stop taking it, get the referral and never make the call. That gap costs health plans and health systems money, and it costs people their health. League closes that gap — identifying what each person needs to do next, clearing what’s in their way, and getting it done, for the 70 million+ people whose care already runs through our platform. Health plans and health systems trust us to do this at scale. Organizations like Manulife, SCAN, Geisinger, and Medibank on the payer side, and Baptist and Shoppers Drug Mart on the provider side.

Position Summary

League is at an inflection point. We’re executing a delivery transformation — moving from reactive implementation to an AI-native, industrialized delivery model — at the same time as we’re scaling our most strategic enterprise accounts and standing up new delivery capabilities. This VP role is a defining hire: you’ll shape how engineering operates at League for the next five years, not just manage what exists today.

You are a seasoned engineering leader who leads with AI conviction — someone who doesn't just adopt AI practices but pulls the entire engineering organization forward through them. As VP Engineering, Apps & Solutions at League, you'll set the technical vision, own end-to-end delivery across a 50+ engineer organization, and drive an AI-native engineering transformation that makes League's delivery faster, more reliable, and more predictable. You'll own executive-level relationships with League's most strategic enterprise clients and be a defining voice in how League builds software for the next five years.

In this role you will:

• Lead the AI-native engineering transformation for Apps & Solutions — drive the adoption of micro-sprint methodologies, agentic capacity management, and AI-informed delivery decisions across all engineering pods; set a target of 40%+ AI-informed delivery decisions across the portfolio and build the operating model that makes it real, not aspirational

• Build and scale a world-class engineering organization — lead 50+ engineers through multiple Directors and Engineering Managers, manage through leaders of leaders, develop the EM cohort as a performance management discipline, and build the leadership bench that sustains delivery excellence through growth and change

• Set the technical vision and engineering standards — define the architecture direction for Apps & Solutions aligned with League's business objectives and product roadmap; champion CI/CD, observability, cloud-native engineering on GCP, and test automation practices that drive measurable quality improvement across all squads

• Own executive-level customer relationships — serve as the senior engineering sponsor for League's most strategic enterprise accounts; own escalation management, delivery confidence, and the executive relationships that determine whether clients stay, expand, or churn

• Partner at the company-wide level — work alongside the CTO, CPO, and CDO to shape technology strategy, architecture decisions, and go-to-market execution for enterprise customers; own P&L accountability for engineering delivery across the Apps & Solutions portfolio

• Drive cross-functional alignment at the leadership level — work closely with the CPO, CTO, and CDO to ensure engineering decisions are tightly coupled to product roadmap commitments and delivery capacity; own the relationship between engineering velocity and commercial feasibility before commitments leave the building.

About you:

• 15+ years of progressive software engineering experience, including 8+ years in senior leadership roles managing multiple engineering teams and leaders of leaders

• Demonstrated AI conviction — you lead AI-native delivery in practice, not just in aspiration; you have hands-on experience deploying AI-assisted engineering workflows (capacity matching, automated defect classification, PR review, agentic tooling) and a track record of pulling engineering organizations forward on AI adoption

• Proven track record scaling engineering organizations of 50+ engineers and delivering complex, enterprise-grade SaaS products in a B2B or B2B2C environment; health tech or enterprise healthcare SaaS experience strongly preferred

• Deep technical fluency in cloud-native architectures (GCP preferred), microservices, and full-stack development (Go, React, mobile) — you engage credibly with engineers on architectural trade-offs without losing your strategic altitude

• Exceptional executive presence with a demonstrated ability to build trust with C-suite stakeholders and enterprise customers; track record of owning high-stakes customer relationships at the account level, not just in QBRs

• Experience working within HIPAA, PIPEDA, or equivalent regulated data environments is required at this level — you understand the compliance obligations that come with handling PHI and have built engineering practices that treat security and data governance as foundational, not afterthought

• Demonstrated experience managing delivery partners, offshore teams, or hybrid internal/external engineering models; comfort holding external teams to the same quality bar as internal engineers

Desired Outcomes

• Developer throughput and predictability: PR throughput per developer sustained at or above industry p75, with a clear trajectory toward p90

• Developer Experience Index (DXI): measurable quarter-over-quarter improvement, with named actions and owners

• Engineering quality: defect rate below p75 benchmark, high/critical incident rate below 10 per month, incident resolution SLA attainment at 100%

• Test automation coverage: 80%+ across the portfolio with quarterly delivery milestones

• AI-informed de
