Johns Hopkins Medicine is building a new generation of AI and data-powered tools that accelerate discovery, improve clinical decision-making, and reduce operational burden across the health system. As a Manager within the Platforms & Integrations team, you will lead engineering efforts at the intersection of applied AI and modern cloud data platforms-powering precision care, accelerating discovery, and enabling scalable software solutions for one of the world's premier health systems. This is a high-impact role for a technically sophisticated leader who thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

General Position Summary: The Data Platforms & AI Engineering Manager is a hands-on technical leader responsible for growing a small team of engineers delivering scalable, production-grade systems for the dual goals of clinical research data enablement and AI applications. You will guide the development of AI-powered clinical decision support tools, secure and scalable research data pipelines, and a reimagined enterprise analytics platform built on Microsoft Fabric and Azure Databricks. The ideal candidate combines deep technical skill with a focus on execution-able to design, build, and coach in equal measure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead, mentor, and manage a team of software and platform engineers responsible for AI solution development, MLOps infrastructure, and data platform administration.
• Drive the successful delivery of applied AI projects, including LLM-enabled applications, clinical decision support tools, and patient cohort analytics.
• Oversee the development and enhancement of cloud-based data platforms, ensuring reliable, secure, and performant access to health system and research data.
• Partner with enterprise data engineering and analytics teams to advance our platform strategy, including adoption of Microsoft Fabric and Databricks for modern ELT, mirroring, and data productization.
• Own and evolve the team's engineering practices, including source control workflows, CI/CD pipelines, IaC, observability, testing, and release processes.
• Partner with your Enterprise IT Architect team member on architecture decisions related to AI/ML systems, data platforms, and APIs, balancing performance, maintainability, and security.
• Support responsible AI development by contributing to risk assessments and governance reviews.
• Collaborate closely with IT, research, clinical, and vendor partners to translate needs into buildable technical plans.
• Support team growth and cohesion, and enable a culture of collaboration within and outside your immediate team.

Experience with the following is strongly preferred:

• Cloud data platforms including Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, and associated Azure services (e.g., OneLake, Delta Lake)
• Healthcare data environments, including Epic Cogito, FHIR, and OMOP
• Workflow orchestration tools (e.g. Azure Data Factory, Apache Airflow)
• LLMOps and MLOps platforms (e.g. MLflow, PromptFlow)
• Generative AI and NLP tools (e.g. Azure OpenAI, John Snow Labs)

Experience with the following is a plus:

• Enterprise cloud platforms, especially Azure, including experience with cost optimization, RBAC, and resource management
• Data science methodologies, including supervised/unsupervised learning, model evaluation, and statistical inference
• Feature engineering and data productization, including feature stores or reusable data assets
• API management and integration platforms such as MuleSoft.

Education: Work requires a professional level of knowledge in Information Systems as acquired through completion of a Bachelor's Degree in Information Systems, Business Management, or related field. A Master's Degree is preferred.

Work Experience: Work requires demonstrated a minimum of 7 years of experience with computer systems and applications, as well as a minimum of 5 years of planning and managing projects.

Salary Range: Minimum 53.55/hour - Maximum 93.74/hour. Compensation will be commensurate with equity and experience for roles of similar scope and responsibility.

In cases where the range is displayed as a $0 amount, salary discussions will occur during candidate screening calls, before any subsequent compensation discussion is held between the candidate and any hiring authority.
