Summary
Jason Austin is a seasoned engineering leader with 18 years of experience building and modernizing healthcare and consumer platforms, currently serving as Director of Engineering in Raleigh. He has a track record of replatforming legacy monoliths into event-driven microservice architectures, implementing enterprise-grade API, auth, and interoperability layers (Apigee, Auth0, FHIR) and driving EHR integrations. Jason blends startup grit—having co-founded and sold a company—with enterprise-scale delivery at Optum/AbleTo, where he led architecture, integration and cost/operational normalization during acquisition. He’s equally comfortable in the trenches (Docker, Kubernetes, Node.js, PHP) and at the strategy table, formalizing architectural processes like C4 diagrams and ADRs. Notably, he pairs product-facing product strategy experience with deep technical execution, having launched analytics and microservices platforms as a VP of Engineering. His work is defined by pragmatic modernization that reduces friction between clinical care, EHRs, and scalable engineering teams.
