📋 Description

• We are looking for a Lead Engineer who will own the delivery of specific products and run focused engineering pods. • This is a hands-on technical role with people management responsibilities. • You will spend a meaningful share of your time directly writing code, creating engineering designs, reviewing, debugging, while also setting direction for a small team, growing their craft, and running the operating rhythm that turns plans into shipped products. • You will work closely with colleagues across product, design, medical, and data. • Own end-to-end delivery for your individual and pods’ roadmap, from scoping and architecture through release and post-release support. • Set technical direction through engineering design reviews, ERDs, and clear written decision records, so engineers (and their AI tools) have a well-scoped spec to work with. • Build with AI as part of the product, not just around it. Identify where LLMs, retrieval, or agentic workflows genuinely improve caregiver and frontline-worker outcomes, and help ship those features. • Write production code on critical paths, lead complex backend or full-stack changes, and stay close enough to the codebase and the associated tooling to make credible technical calls. • Drive resolution of operational gaps in your area: alerting, on-call, incident response, tech debt, and security and compliance hygiene. • Stay close to how the craft is changing. Bring back what works from outside the team: new tools, new patterns, new ways of working and help us evolve our processes without losing the fundamentals.

🎯 Requirements

• 6–12 years of hands-on software engineering experience with a proven track record of shipping production systems end-to-end, ideally including at least one large project where you owned the architecture, the delivery plan, and the team running it. • Hands-on experience building with LLMs: prompt design, RAG pipelines, agent frameworks, MCPs, and evals. • Strong backend engineering skills in Python (our primary backend language), JavaScript or similar, including API design, data modeling, and query optimization on relational databases. • Comfort working across the stack when needed, with enough familiarity with frontend, mobile, or data pipelines to make sound architectural decisions in a small team. • Working knowledge of cloud platforms such as Google Cloud or AWS, with experience deploying, monitoring, and operating production services. • A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience. • Strong communication across formats. You document decisions, write clear and simple ERDs, and use writing to align teams rather than relying on meetings. • Comfortable with ambiguity, capable of making decisions with incomplete information, and willing to revisit decisions as facts change.
