Why this is worth applying to

Only worth applying for clinicians who already have deep software engineering leadership experience; most clinicians should treat this as a signal of health-tech career paths rather than a direct transition role.

Who should apply

Clinician-engineers or physician-informaticists with 10–15 years in software product development and 5+ years managing engineering teams, especially those with consumer health, women’s health, or AI-native development experience.

CV angle

Frame real experience around engineering leadership outcomes: teams scaled, consumer products shipped, cross-functional partnerships with product/science/clinical/regulatory, AI and agentic workflow adoption, quality guardrails, and measurable member impact. Do not translate clinical duties into engineering claims unless genuine.

Skills to highlight

  • Software engineering leadership
  • Consumer product delivery
  • Engineering organization scaling
  • AI-native and agentic workflows
  • Cross-functional collaboration with Clinical and Regulatory teams
  • Hiring and developing engineering leaders
  • Roadmap and architecture ownership
  • Measurable member outcomes

Role summary

Lead Oura’s Women’s Health software engineering organization, setting strategy and operating model, shipping consumer health experiences, and transforming development with AI-native workflows while partnering with product, science, clinical, and regulatory teams.
