Sitting at the intersection of Engineering, Product, and Design, you will own features from the back of the napkin idea to production deployment and user feedback.

This role is for a Senior Engineer on the cusp of Principal level who wants to exercise their product and program management muscles.

• Product Definition: Collaborate with the Product & Engineering leadership to define requirements, user flows, and success metrics. You _are_ the Product Manager for your scope.

• Program Management: Manage the timeline and delivery of your projects, coordinating across design, clinical ops, and other engineering squads.
• User Feedback Loops: Watch clinicians use your software, look at the data, and iterate rapidly. You are responsible for the success of the feature, not just the code.

The basics you'll need:

• 8+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with a track record of shipping complex web/mobile applications from scratch.
• Principal Level Technical Depth: Ability to architect systems, choose the right tools, and debug complex production issues independently.
• Product/Program Experience: Demonstrated experience managing projects, defining roadmaps, or working in a role where you had significant product influence (e.g., Founder, Technical PM).
• Modern Stack Proficiency: Expert in React/TypeScript, Node.js/Python, and cloud infrastructure (GCP, CDN, IAP).
• Data Fluency: Comfortable using SQL or analytics tools (Tableau, Snowflake, Looker, Databricks) to answer your own questions about user behavior.
