Embedded Transformation Engineer

The role

We're hiring an Embedded Transformation Engineer to lead technical implementations within healthcare organizations.

This role requires the hands-on-keyboard ownership of a startup engineer, combined with the healthcare operator’s ability to build relationships with practitioners and ensure what is built solves real problems.

Healthcare systems have for years struggled with consultants that develop thoughtful strategic advice, hand it over and leave. Today they are struggling with AI consultants, frontier labs and forward-deployed engineering shops that lead with amazing technology, but lack the healthcare expertise and practitioner relationships to build the right thing.

We bring world-class healthcare leaders and operators that are laser-focused on the clinical/operational problem, and the product experience. You bring frontier-level AI expertise to architect, shape and implement the build with the best available technologies.

What you will do

Maintain a working opinion on the best tools on the market, including agent platforms, coding agents, eval and observability tooling, and integration tooling - and be willing to drop what you use today when something better shows up.
Understand the real workflow before proposing anything. Spend time with clinicians, revenue-cycle staff, hospital IT, to learn how things actually happen today, not how the org chart says they happen, and find common ground before you start building.
Given a real problem, advise the Field CTO on whether to deploy an existing product, port a known-good build from elsewhere in our portfolio, or build something new. Ask the right questions, push for the best solutions, then agree and commit.
Turn an agreed direction into an implementation plan the customer can sign off on - scope, modules, milestones, dependencies, risks, acceptance criteria - then deliver against it. When reality diverges from the plan, you raise it early and bring options (descope, resequence, workaround, more help, a new date), not just the problem.
Use autonomous coding agents as your delivery team: scope their work, set up harnesses and guardrails, run several in parallel, verify output with tests and evals, and recover cleanly when one goes off the rails.
Architect on the fly, inside the agreed design. Find where an implementation detail won't fit the target environment (data model, auth, interfaces, deployment) and change it, without waiting for someone to hand you a new spec.
Enable customers’ engineers to work effectively with agents, and to operate coding and code review harnesses that enable dynamism without sacrificing quality. Leave the team not only able to maintain and extend this build, but ready to innovate themselves.
Make end users confident, not just technically live. Run training, office hours, pilots, and feedback loops until people trust the tool, feel it improves their day, and can run it without you in the room.
Operate inside the customer's security and compliance posture. Build with PHI/HIPAA awareness as a given.

What you need

What you'll need

We value and actively seek exceptional talent from all backgrounds and experiences, recognizing that excellence takes many forms. While every path is different, we believe the most successful candidates for this role will share the following:

Daily, real use of autonomous coding agents for production work. You can talk concretely about what you've shipped this way, how you verified it, and what you learned when it went wrong.
The judgment to advise on deploy, port, or build, and to defend a recommendation to a skeptical stakeholder who isn't technical.
Integration instinct against messy, real systems - EHRs, payer systems, legacy stacks, or comparably gnarly, poorly documented environments.
A track record of delivering to a plan you wrote - scoping, sequencing, chasing dependencies across people and agents, and reporting status honestly, without being managed.
Experience teaching or mentoring engineers into a new way of working, not only doing the work yourself.
Ability to earn trust from people who see you as the outsider, building credibility by leading with humility, respect and empathy. You learn from and collaborate with them, not tell them why they’re wrong.
Comfort working as half of a two-person dyad in which you partner closely with a non-engineering counterpart who owns the "what" and the stakeholder relationship, without the need to own that side to feel effective.
The ability to talk to an operator, CIO, or CISO without a translator, and to translate between them and engineers.
Experience with HIPAA-compliant clinical workflows and their data models, including but not limited to decision support, transcription, medication ordering and reconciliation, diagnostic results management, and others.
Healthcare systems exposure is strongly preferred at every level including EHRs, payer and claims data, prior auth, revenue cycle, scheduling, pharmacy/PBM, or clinical data. Which area matters less than having seen how healthcare data and workflows actually behave. A candidate with no healthcare background can still be a fit if the agent-orchestration, delivery, and enablement evidence is exceptional - expect a ramp period.
Familiarity with pushing high-velocity product through a modern agentic coding ecosystem / harness(es)

Strong plus

A startup-generalist, consulting, or prior forward-deployed-engineer background.
Built or ran an internal AI-enablement or developer-productivity program.

Who you are

You respect the people and workflows already in place. You redesign work with the people who do it, not instead of them.
You're motivated by the patient and the operator at the other end of the system you're building, not just the technical puzzle.
You frame your past work by outcome, not activity or product
"cut processing from three days to four hours,"
"the team now ships X without us"
You don't need a fixed spec to start, and you don't disappear into "just the code" - you stay close to the people who'll use what you build.
You've stayed through the awkward phase after go-live before. You know "shipped" and "adopted" are different claims, and you only make the second one when it's true.
You can advise without needing to own the decision, and you don't rubber-stamp a call you think is wrong.
You surface problems the moment you see them, and come with proposed solutions.
You don't have brand loyalty to the tools you used two years ago.
