Base pay range
$200.00/yr - $260.00/yr About Our Client
Our client is revolutionizing healthcare by streamlining knowledge workflows with AI. They reduce administrative burdens and elevate outcomes, empowering professionals to focus on what truly matters — improving lives. They’re growing fast and looking for bold, driven teammates to join them. This is an on-site role based in Austin, TX. Only candidates with existing work authorization will be considered at this time (no sponsorship). The Opportunity
Our client is seeking a transformative Head of Engineering to lead and scale their engineering teams as they accelerate adoption across major health systems, payers, and provider networks. This is an extremely mission-critical role for someone who’s equal parts builder and technology leader — ready to execute the vision laid out by the leadership and product teams, get hands-on to expand and secure their scalable Agentic AI platform, grow a high-performing team, and ship enterprise-ready AI products that reshape how healthcare works. Working with the CTO office, you’ll set the technical vision, lead cross-functional execution, and ensure delivery with speed, quality, and resilience. If you’ve worked at the intersection of AI, healthcare infrastructure, and mission-critical systems — and you’re ready to go deep and lead from the front — this could be the role for you.
