Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of experience in Engineering Management, successfully leading and scaling high-performing teams
- 7+ years of experience in hands-on Software Engineering roles, preferably with experience building complex, distributed systems
- Strong architectural, design, and security acumen, ideally within the highly regulated landscape of healthcare or a healthcare-adjacent field
- Proven ability to evaluate and synthesize multiple architectural approaches to stitch together integrated solutions that are performant, compliant, scalable, and highly reliable
- Deep experience building, evolving, and operating distributed microservices architectures in TypeScript and Kotlin, including API design, service orchestration, and production-grade observability and resilience
- Exceptional ability to lead complex discussions across diverse technical and non-technical, internal and external audiences to achieve common goals
- Demonstrated expertise in communicating highly complex ideas and influencing stakeholders to achieve optimal business and technical outcomes
What the job involves
- We are seeking an engineering leader who will drive K's AI-driven core Provider and Ops platform into the future of Primary Care. This critical role sits at the intersection of deep integrations and cutting-edge Generative AI, focusing on creating intelligent automation that radically simplifies complex workflows
- You will own the technical strategy, development, and execution of a mission-critical product portfolio, designing transformative AI co-pilots and ambient automation solutions that fundamentally improve provider efficiency and ultimately elevate patient care, all while enabling deep integrations with foundational EMR systems like Epic
- Provide decisive technical and organizational leadership, guiding the team through the strategic development and delivery of the entire provider and ops product portfolio
- Drive the engineering roadmap for advanced AI co-pilot features and provider-facing productivity tools that integrate seamlessly into daily practice
- Oversee the creation and successful embedding of ambient AI capabilities and deep automations within core Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, specifically Epic
- Lead the development of agentic voice and text based AI systems designed to autonomously execute complex operational and administrative workflows, leveraging technologies such as Google ADT, LangFuse, LangGraph, and LangChain, and orchestrating a hybrid model stack that includes OpenAI and Google Gemini alongside self-hosted and fine-tuned smaller LLMs like Gemma and Llama
- Ensure robust, compliant, and deep integration strategies with EMR platforms (e.g., Epic) to deliver seamless and reliable experiences for both providers and patients. This includes a combination of HL7, Smart on FHIR, Open FHIR APIs and proprietary Epic APIs where relevant
- Foster a culture of technical excellence, focusing on highly scalable architecture, security, and velocity to deliver transformative results
Our take
K Health is a telemedicine startup improving accessibility to primary care and medical information. It supplies an AI-powered and fully anonymized symptom checker, and an online 24/7 consultation service, that enables people to get more accurate diagnostic information faster.
Available through health plans, or directly through a mobile app, K Health's platform leverages predictive AI models to help optimize diagnosis and treatment. This, on top of its relative affordability, sets it apart from competitors that offer similar online consultation services.
Although many remain skeptical about the maturity of healthcare AI, interest remains high among professionals. As such, K Health continues to attract high levels of investment, the latest of which will help expand operations and supercharge its development efforts.
