  • 8+ years of overall software engineering experience, including 2+ years leading a technical team.
  • Must-have hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade AI systems, including direct, personal experience writing and iterating on prompts running in live production environments, not solely internal or experimental use.

  • Healthcare industry experience or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated comfort operating in ambiguous, 0-to-1 environments, building new systems rather than primarily maintaining established ones.

  • Strong Object-Oriented Programming fundamentals, with experience in modern web/service architectures (REST APIs, MVC frameworks).

Responsibilities

  • Lead a team of software engineers, principal engineers, and prompt engineers building the conversational AI systems behind Tom.

  • Coach team members on execution standards, technical growth, and career development.
  • Write, test, and iterate on production-grade prompts powering conversational AI agents.
  • Stay directly engaged in the technical work rather than directing exclusively from a distance.
  • Build process and structure around the prompt development lifecycle, including requirements traceability and unit testing discipline.
  • Partner closely with Product Management to translate ambiguous, fast-moving requirements into organized, testable delivery.
  • Ensure the team stays focused on the right priorities as they evolve.
  • Represent the team in informal and occasional formal settings with company leadership.
