- Team Development — Mentor and grow engineers, foster a strong engineering culture, and build the organizational capability to scale.

What We're Looking For

- 8+ years in enterprise software development, with 5+ years in technical leadership roles — ideally including time as a hands-on architect or engineering lead at a startup.
- Demonstrated experience designing and delivering cloud-native solutions on Azure (or AWS), including AI/LLM integrations.
- Deep familiarity with the stack: Python, ReactJS, FastAPI, MongoDB/CosmosDB.
- Proven ability to lead engineering organizations through ambiguity and rapid growth — setting direction without waiting for perfect information.
- US Healthcare Technology experience strongly preferred, including working knowledge of compliance and data security requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2, etc.).
- A builder's mentality: you take ownership, move with urgency, and hold a high bar for what "done" looks like.
