Re‑architecting U.S. healthcare demands speed, precision, and an obsession with details. Cadence is building a remote care delivery system that keeps older people healthy, out of the hospital, and at home. By pairing each patient with a dedicated clinical team that reviews their health every day, versus every few months, we catch issues early and intervene before they escalate. The result: measurably better outcomes for patients and less administrative burden for clinicians.
Today, Cadence supports tens of thousands of active patients nationwide. Our AI‑powered system and scalable clinical model enable proactive, population‑level care. We’re among the fastest‑growing companies in healthtech, and we’re just getting started.
Cadence is hiring a Head of IT to make sure every Cadence employee can do their best work securely, reliably, and with great tools at their fingertips. You’ll own the full corporate IT stack including SaaS systems and operational hardware, and partner with security & compliance to protect our patients’ data.
Reporting directly to the CTO, you will set the long-term vision for IT service excellence. You’ll partner closely with clinical, product, and business leaders to balance usability with control, cost with resilience, and speed with safety. Your work will keep day-to-day operations running smoothly, support our rapid head-count and geographic growth, and help safeguard the platform that delivers life-changing care to patients.
