Develop Health is on a mission to use AI to radically accelerate access to life-saving medications. By automating complex, manual healthcare processes—like benefit verification and prior authorization— we've been growing rapidly and over the past couple of years have helped over 3.6 million patients!
We’re partnering with some of the largest pharmacy benefit managers and payers in the nation, revolutionizing how healthcare interactions occur by eliminating human delays and inefficiencies. Our small, elite team of founders and engineers have previously launched and exited successful healthcare startups including Rupa Health and Canvas Medical. We are now scaling rapidly following a major funding round.
About The Role
As Head of Engineering, you will lead the teams building the technology and workflows that enable us to solve the prior authorization bottleneck challenging prescribers, pharmacies, and pharma - and most importantly, the patients who need medication. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you will run day-to-day engineering execution, grow and develop engineers and tech leads, and stay close enough to the code to make the hard architectural calls. You’ll also be regularly involved, alongside our tech leads, in sales calls with customers, wearing a product and solutions-engineering hat that keeps the voice of the customer close to our build.
Our platform and agents work in healthcare delivery, meaning our workflows must be accurate and highly reliable, and with documentation digestible to our non-technical customers: pharmaceutical companies, pharmacists, and doctors prescribing medication. In this field we must ship fast without compromising the accuracy, security, and reliability that healthcare delivery demands. You will report to the co-founder and CTO, and sit on and partner closely with our extended leadership team.
What You’ll Do
- Own delivery: Run engineering execution across multiple pods, with weekly ship cycles, clear ownership, and a culture where velocity and high reliability go hand-in-hand.
- Build and lead the team: Hire, onboard, and develop senior engineers to recent grads, growing your tech lead and engineering manager layer as we scale. (Current team is 2 leads and 7 engineers) You will be highly involved in growing the team your first six months, and as we scale, we expect you’ll interview each person at onsite to keep the bar high.
- Ship enterprise-grade technology: Our customers are used to and expect enterprise-grade quality that seamlessly works with existing systems and EHRs, within their existing workflows. You’ll guide the architecture of our platform and systems so they are accurate, explainable, and extensible as we scale and move into new workflows, integrations, and verticals.
