- Design and manage integrations with healthcare, billing, claims, payment, and data systems.
- Establish engineering best practices, development processes, and technical standards.
- Recruit, mentor, and lead an early-stage engineering team.
- Collaborate closely with executive leadership, investors, advisors, customers, and strategic partners.
- Drive product delivery from MVP through commercialization and scale.

- Background in healthcare technology, healthcare infrastructure, healthcare operations, or regulated environments.
- Experience with payments, financial technology, transaction processing, or workflow automation platforms.
- Knowledge of healthcare revenue cycle management, claims processing, reimbursement workflows, denials management, or payment reconciliation.
