KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Own end-to-end engineering execution for your domain, from architecture and roadmap through delivery and reliability. - Drive step-function latency reductions, targeting at least 50 percent improvements across note generation and decision-support workflows where applicable. - Design and operate robust observability, metrics, and model-selection systems to ensure consistent performance at scale. - Lead domain-specific execution rituals including daily and weekly standups, backlog ownership in Linear, and tight cross-functional coordination. - Translate product goals into clear dependencies, timelines, and deliverables to keep teams unblocked and shipping. - Operationalize continuous quality evaluation pipelines to improve accuracy, completeness, and reliability of outputs. - Set and enforce engineering best practices across your stack, including code quality, reviews, on-call standards, and operational rigor.

You actively design systems, write and review production code, and set the technical bar by example. - Experience in high-intensity environments such as YC-backed startups, early-stage companies, or zero-to-one teams where speed and judgment matter. - Comfort with ambiguity. You turn incomplete product direction into clear technical plans and ship without heavy process. - Bias toward leverage and simplicity. You choose durable solutions and know when to optimize versus when to ship. Nice-to-have: - Experience with FHIR/HL7 or EHR systems. - Background in real-time or near-real-time streaming, diarization, or structured-output pipelines. - Experience supporting front-end or extension-based integrations (web, mobile, browser extension). KEY RESULTS (FIRST 90 DAYS) - Take full ownership of the assigned engineering domain. - Ensure end-to-end observability and alerting for core workflows. - Define the domain's key performance, reliability, and quality metrics. - Identify and ship at least one high-impact improvement. - Establish execution cadence, priorities, and quality standards. Who Thrives Here - Entrepreneurial to your core: You think in outcomes, thrive in chaos, and take ownership without limits - Mission-obsessed: You’re here to save lives, not just ship features — patients and doctors are your why. - Impact-driven & fast-moving: You sprint toward hard problems and ship with sharp judgment. - Elite teammate: You raise the bar through high standards, direct feedback, and craft excellence.
