A bit about us:

This company is an emerging healthcare technology startup that is just turning profitable. They currently have a distributed team and function as a remote organization.

This is a hands on keyboard position, not a purely managerial role. It is critical that applicants understand they will still function everyday as a principal engineer along with other duties in this position.

The position will manage both a small US based team as well as coordinate and manage off shore resources as they move most of their engineering in house. The codebase will require some maintenance and adjustments for scalability as this role will include some architecture and system design experience. Understanding of distributed systems and computing is key in this role.

You will report to the CTO/COO and have a ton of autonomy in this position! Fully remote!

Why join us?

Fully remote position
Solid benefits
Ability to grow and be part of the start up journey as the company scales
Make meaningful engineering impact and drive technical decisions that influence company success
Ability to grow into a formal CTO position over time in this role!
