Day - 08 Hour (United States of America)
This is a Stanford Health Care job.
We are looking for a rare combination of hands-on technical leader and strategic thinker to own the engineering vision for chatEHR as we mature from a pilot into a tier 1 clinical platform. This is not a role for someone who manages from a distance -- you will need the credibility to earn the respect of a talented engineering team, the organizational savvy to navigate a complex health system, and the vision to bridge cutting-edge research with real-world clinical application.
You will be responsible for building the infrastructure, environments, and engineering discipline that transforms chatEHR into a reliable, scalable platform trusted by thousands of clinicians -- while staying ahead of a fast-moving AI landscape.
If you are energized by the intersection of pioneering research and production-grade systems, and you know how to shepherd ambitious ideas into operational reality, this role was built for you.
A Brief Overview
Stanford Health Care and the Stanford School of Medicine are at the forefront of the AI revolution in healthcare. We are building chatEHR, a secure, compliant, and powerful Generative AI platform designed to transform healthcare delivery, accelerate medical research, and improve patient outcomes.
We are seeking a hands-on, visionary Director of Engineering to lead the technical development and strategic execution of the chatEHR platform. This is a unique opportunity to build and scale a team that sits at the intersection of pioneering AI research and real-world clinical application. You will be responsible for building the core platform, agentic frameworks, and user-facing applications that will be used by thousands of clinicians, researchers, and staff.
