Why this is worth applying to
Only worth applying if you are a clinician who has already built a substantial software engineering leadership career, including managing managers and scaling product teams. Most clinicians will not be competitive for this senior technical people-leadership role.
Who should apply
Clinician-engineers, physician technologists, nurse informaticists, or other healthcare professionals with 10-15 years of software product experience and 5+ years of engineering leadership, especially those with consumer health, women’s health, or regulated digital health experience.
CV angle
Frame real healthcare domain expertise as cross-functional value, but lead with verified software engineering leadership: team scaling, managing managers, shipping consumer software, AI-native development, organizational transformation, and collaboration with clinical, regulatory, product, and data science partners. Do not imply engineering leadership experience that is not real.
Skills to highlight
- Software engineering leadership
- Managing managers and building leadership benches
- Consumer software product delivery
- AI-native and agentic development workflows
- Organizational transformation
- Cross-functional collaboration with clinical and regulatory teams
- Engineering strategy and operating model design
- Hiring, coaching, and talent development
Role summary
Lead Oura’s Women’s Health software engineering organization, setting engineering strategy, scaling teams, shipping consumer health experiences, and driving AI-native development while partnering with product, design, science, data, clinical, and regulatory leaders.
