Job description

Director of Engineering, Growth & Consumer

Location: San Francisco Bay Area | Hybrid, 2 days/week in our San Francisco OR Palo Alto office

About Midi Health:

Midi Health is transforming healthcare for women in midlife, delivering expert, personalized care through a virtual-first platform built around the needs of women in perimenopause and menopause.

We’re growing quickly, and technology is at the center of how we reach more patients, create an exceptional care experience, and scale access to high-quality care nationwide. We’re looking for leaders who are excited to build at that intersection of healthcare, technology, and consumer experience.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Director of Engineering, Growth & Consumer to lead the engineering teams behind Midi’s patient experience — from the moment someone first discovers Midi through registration, onboarding, booking, and ongoing engagement with their care.

This is a true player-coach role. You’ll lead and develop a high-performing engineering team while staying close to the technology: shaping architecture, reviewing code, using AI coding tools, and helping your team solve hard problems.

You’ll also be a senior engineering partner to Product, Marketing, Design, Data Science, and Clinical leaders. We expect our engineering leaders to think beyond their immediate teams, contribute to company-wide technical decisions, and help shape how we build as Midi scales.

What You’ll Own:

• Lead the engineering roadmap and execution for Midi’s consumer and growth experiences, including registration, onboarding, appointment booking, patient engagement, prescription and supplement commerce, and growth loops.
• Build and lead high-performing engineering teams with a culture of ownership, accountability, speed, and high technical standards.
• Stay hands-on with the technology through architecture decisions, code reviews, prototyping, and AI-assisted development.
• Partner closely with Product, Marketing, Design, and Data Science to translate business and patient needs into scalable technical solutions.
• Drive engineering quality, velocity, reliability, and operational health across your area.
• Hire, mentor, and develop engineers and engineering leaders as the organization grows.
• Collaborate with engineering leaders across Midi to make thoughtful decisions for the broader technology organization — not just your individual area.
• Help define how Midi uses AI and modern development tools to fundamentally improve how software is built.

What We’re Looking For:

• Deep software engineering foundation. You’ve spent meaningful time as a senior individual contributor building sophisticated applications and consumer-facing experiences.
• Proven engineering leadership. You have 5+ years of engineering management experience and have led organizations of 10+ engineers.
• Player-coach mindset. You’re comfortable operating at the leadership level while remaining technically credible and close enough to the work to help your team make better decisions.
• Strong product and consumer instincts. You understand that great engineering isn’t just about technical elegance — it’s about building experiences that drive meaningful outcomes for users and the business.
• Executive-level communication and judgment. You can confidently partner with senior leaders, navigate ambiguity, influence direction, and communicate technical tradeoffs clearly.
• Exceptional cross-functional instincts. You naturally build trust with Product, Design, Marketing, Data Science, and other non-engineering partners.
• AI-native approach to engineering. You’ve recently built or shipped something meaningful using AI coding agents and have a practical understanding of how AI is changing what engineering teams can accomplish.
• First-principles thinking. You ask the right questions, communicate clearly, and align early rather than building in isolation.
• Strong ownership mindset. You close loops, take accountability for outcomes, and step into problems rather than waiting for someone else to solve them.

Nice to Have:

• Experience leading Growth Engineering, Consumer Engineering, Martech, or digital commerce teams.
• Experience building high-scale consumer products where conversion, engagement, retention, or experimentation are core to the business.
• Experience with Python, Django, React, and AWS.
• Experience working in healthcare, fintech, or another regulated environment.
• Experience building experimentation platforms, personalization systems, or AI-powered consumer experiences.

Why Midi:

This is an opportunity to build technology that directly impacts how women access healthcare — at a company experiencing significant growth and still early enough that engineering leaders can have an outsized impact.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape not only the products patients use, but also how Midi’s engineering organization operates, scales, and takes advantage of a rapidly changing technology landscape.

If you’re energized by building consumer experiences, developing exceptional engineering teams, and rethinking what’s possible with AI-native software development, we’d love to hear from you.
