Hands-on experience with TypeScript and Node.js; able to read and review code across the stack and ship fixes when needed.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including comfort working with engineers, clinical operations leaders, compliance teams, and customer executives.
Good judgment in prioritization and scope, including the ability to explain when work should be declined or deferred.
Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity in an early-stage environment.

Responsibilities

Manage, mentor, and support engineers; run 1:1s, provide feedback, support career growth, and help hire as the team scales.

Work directly with customers, sales, clinical operations, and leadership to set expectations, communicate status, and translate customer needs into scoped, prioritized work.
