About the company and the role :

We’re helping a US-based healthtech company build its founding India engineering team. The company is focused on improving care for low-income patients with complex needs — blending in-person, virtual, and 24 / 7 care with their own tech and care teams. They partner with community providers and health plans to deliver primary, behavioral, and social care as a seamless experience.

This role is core to that mission — leading a growing engineering team to build high-impact systems that rewire healthcare delivery through AI and thoughtful technology.

What you’ll do

Own the day-to-day of engineering delivery across multiple projects

Translate complex healthcare workflows into scalable product and tech decisions

Partner closely with Product, Clinical Ops, and other teams to define and ship the right things fast

Maintain a high bar for engineering velocity, quality, and culture — balancing speed vs. debt

Help build and mentor a team of 12+ engineers (across backend, data, and platform)

Lead agile processes : sprint planning, retrospectives, and execution reviews

Define and track engineering metrics and continuous improvement efforts

You should have

12+ years of engineering experience, with 5+ years in leadership roles

Hands-on experience scaling teams and production systems in fast-moving environments

Comfort across backend systems – Go, Scala, Java preferred

Strong communication and collaboration skills across tech and non-tech stakeholders

Experience in healthcare is a plus, but not required

Why this role matters

You’ll shape the tech that enables better outcomes for underserved patients

You’ll work across domains — clinical, operations, data — in a team that values impact over noise

You’ll help define engineering culture and ways of working from the ground up
