About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own execution end-to-end — sprint planning, retros, delivery tracking, and a clear narrative of what the team committed to, delivered, and learned
Set direction across two domains: AI-driven data integrations with external systems, and the platform/infrastructure layer that keeps Granted fast, secure, and reliable
Drive prioritization — translate business needs into an engineering roadmap, protect the team’s focus, and make trade-off calls with stakeholders
Build the team’s capacity — structured growth conversations, stretch assignments, and delegation that lets the pod run well when you’re not in the room
Surface problems before they’re discovered — maintain a living tracker of commitments tied to business goals; flag risks with a recommendation, not just an alert
Ship code — stay close to the work across backend systems, orchestration layers, and infrastructure, contributing where you’re most needed

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years of backend or platform engineering experience, with depth in distributed systems, data pipelines, or cloud infrastructure
2+ years of technical leadership experience (engineering management strongly preferred; tech lead considered for exceptional candidates)
Startup veteran — you’ve worked at a Series B or earlier company; zero-to-one experience is a strong plus
Business-informed prioritization instincts — you connect engineering decisions to company strategy, not just technical elegance
Willingness to contribute as an IC during onboarding
Experience building integrations with complex systems
Background in infrastructure or platform engineering: CI/CD, observability, security/compliance (HIPAA, SOC2)
Experience with AI/LLM-powered automation in production
Background in healthcare, fintech, or other regulated industries
