Head of Engineering
About The Position
A fast-growing clinical AI company — deploying frontier intelligence across the nation's top healthcare organizations — is looking for a Head of Engineering to help shape the future of applied AI in healthcare. Backed by Mayo Clinic Platform and leading healthcare VCs, this healthcare AI startup has achieved $1M+ ARR in under 12 months and is now seeking a Head of Engineering to scale their engineering team and help build the infrastructure for clinical AI at enterprise scale. The company building HOMER-1 — the first Clinical AI Machine for healthcare — is hiring a Head of Engineering to lead the team taking clinical AI from market leader in post-acute care to the standard for acute care nationwide.
Requirements
- 6–10 years of engineering experience with a demonstrated track record of success as an engineering lead
- Experience leading small, high-performing engineering teams — and comfort being a builder first, manager second
- ~50% hands-on engineering in your most recent role; you're not looking to leave the code behind
- Startup experience (any stage) — you move fast, operate with autonomy, and don't need process to get things done
- First-principles thinking and the ability to operate in high-variability, trust-critical environments
- No healthcare background required; curiosity about clinical AI and patient impact is what matters
Nice To Haves
- Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) experience is a strong plus — the ability to sit at the intersection of customer problems and technical solutions is exactly what this role calls for
Responsibilities
- Lead core engineering work across the full stack (TypeScript, Python, AWS, Supabase/PostgreSQL), staying ~50% hands-on with architecture, code review, and technical scoping
- Scale and manage the existing engineering team (6 engineers in São Paulo) while hiring 2–3 US-based engineers to build out the NYC founding team
- Drive technical architecture decisions and build systems and processes that support enterprise-grade healthcare deployments
- Partner closely with the founders on product roadmap, R&D initiatives, and the company's near-term technical north star: a virtual hospital/hospice simulation lab using synthetic patients
- Champion engineering quality, reliability, and speed — Dart deploys across thousands of nurses in 2–3 weeks, and that differentiator lives in your hands
- Contribute to recruiting and interview processes across engineering and beyond as the team grows from ~11 to 15–20 by year-end
Benefits
- ICHRA health benefits (best-in-class, flexible)
- Flex time off — not tracked, with a culture that trusts you to manage your time
- Monthly lunch cards (~$500/person) and informal morning team gatherings
- Annual company offsites in unique, off-the-grid locations
- Milestone events tied to company wins (go-karts, team outings, and more)
- In-person, collaborative culture in a spacious NYC office near Madison Square Garden
- Customer travel opportunities
