About The Position

Ezra’s mission is to detect cancer early for everyone in the world. Our AI-powered Full Body MRI screens for cancer in up to 13 organs and is available at over 100+ imaging facilities in 30+ cities across the US. We believe in empowering people to make their own health decisions, offering Ezra as a direct-to-consumer service. Members visit our partner imaging centers for a Full Body MRI and receive an AI-powered report from an Ezra Medical Provider within 7–10 days. The Ezra radiology reports are generated by our partner radiologists, using Ezra-approved radiology templates. These radiology reports are then converted into consumer-friendly reports using Ezra Reporter, an AI trained to convert radiology reports into plain English. Your Mission As an Engineering Team Lead at Ezra, you will lead a team of ~4 engineers (including the Senior Full Stack Developer) to build and operate the web platforms that power our cancer-screening experience. You’ll spend approximately 50% of your time on people management (1:1s, performance, career progression, hiring/staffing) and the remaining time on delivery and technical leadership—ensuring our products remain reliable, secure, and delightful. You will partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders and with the Staff Engineer supporting your team. You will collaborate with Support Engineering on production issues, but the Support Engineer will not report to you.

Prior experience managing engineers (or acting as a lead with significant people management scope), including 1:1s, feedback, and performance conversations.
Strong delivery leadership: can run planning, prioritize well, communicate tradeoffs, and keep commitments realistic.
Strong technical judgment in modern web systems (bonus if you’ve worked with ASP.NET Core / C# and TypeScript/JavaScript in production).
Comfort operating systems in cloud environments and modern CI/CD practices (Azure preferred).
Excellent written & verbal communication and a bias for collaboration in a cross-functional, Agile environment.
