Job Level
About the role
- Own end-to-end engineering execution for your domain, from architecture and roadmap through delivery and reliability.
- Drive step-function latency reductions, targeting at least 50 percent improvements across note generation and decision-support workflows where applicable.
- Design and operate robust observability, metrics, and model-selection systems to ensure consistent performance at scale.
- Lead domain-specific execution rituals, including daily and weekly standups, backlog ownership in Linear, and tight cross-functional coordination.
- Translate product goals into clear dependencies, timelines, and deliverables to keep teams unblocked and shipping.
- Operationalize continuous quality evaluation pipelines to improve accuracy, completeness, and reliability of outputs.
- Set and enforce engineering best practices across your stack, including code quality, reviews, on-call standards, and operational rigor.
Requirements
- 7+ years of startup/founding experience in a high-growth early-stage start-up, or founder/co-founder experience bringing SaaS products from ideation to enterprise scale.
- Experience in high-intensity environments such as YC-backed startups, early-stage companies, or zero-to-one teams where speed and judgment matter.
- Comfort with ambiguity. You turn incomplete product direction into clear technical plans and ship without a heavy process.
- Bias toward leverage and simplicity. You choose durable solutions and know when to optimize versus when to ship.
Benefits
- Speed matters - we operate with urgency, autonomy, and ownership
- Your work helps doctors reclaim their time - and patients get better, faster care
