Sign in to startWhy this is worth applying to
Most clinicians should not apply unless they are already senior software engineers; this is a high-bar engineering leadership role rather than a clinician transition opportunity.
Who should apply
Physician-engineers, clinical informaticists, or other healthcare professionals with 12+ years of software engineering experience and staff-level architecture or technical leadership experience.
CV angle
Lead with real software engineering scope: architecture ownership, Kotlin/Java/Go system design, full-stack delivery, cloud/CI-CD/observability, and cross-organizational technical leadership. If you have clinical training, use it only as healthcare-domain context; do not substitute clinical experience for the required engineering leadership.
Skills to highlight
- Software architecture and system design at scale
- Kotlin/Java/Go backend development
- Full-stack development with React/Next/GraphQL
- Cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes)
- CI/CD and observability (CircleCI, GitHub, Datadog)
- Cross-organizational technical leadership
- Mentorship and engineering talent development
- Scalability, reliability, and migration strategy
