Lead Engineer / VP R&D
You are joining a small engineering team that is already shipping a live platform, and you will lead it. You own the architecture and set the technical direction as we scale from a working product to the system hospitals run their AI operations on: the connectors that read from the AI a hospital has deployed, the auditable record on top, and the monitoring the platform is growing into.
What you'll own
- The architecture and hands-on build across the full stack, and the technical direction as the platform scales.
- The connectors that read from hospital environments, the auditable AI record on top, and the roadmap into drift and performance monitoring.
- The engineering foundations: code review, testing, CI/CD, and the security posture a hospital will interrogate.
- Leading and growing the team, and owning the hiring bar.
What we're looking for
- 8+ years shipping production software, including leading engineers and setting technical direction.
- Deep full-stack skill in a modern stack (TypeScript and React, Node, a major cloud, PostgreSQL at query-optimization depth), plus CI/CD and containers.
- You are AI-native: you build and ship with AI coding and multi-agent tooling, and you direct it rather than let it drive. You lead by still building. You raise a team's bar without leaving the code.
- On-site in Tel Aviv, five days a week.
Nice to have
- LLM integration and evaluation-framework design. Drift and degradation monitoring is an evaluation problem, and you understand it.
- Healthcare data (HL7, FHIR, Epic) or another regulated, high-trust domain.
- ML and MLOps, observability tooling, or model-monitoring experience.
- You reach for AI coding and agents as a force multiplier and have sharp views on where they speed engineering up and where they need a human in the loop.
About Grid Health
Grid Health is a venture-backed health-technology company on a mission to make it safe for healthcare to adopt AI. We build a clinical-AI governance platform that helps hospitals and health systems inventory, monitor, and govern every AI tool and model they deploy — giving governance committees the visibility and evidence they need to sign off with confidence. Our buyers are hospital CISOs, CIOs, CMIOs, and AI governance committees. US HQ in Boston; R&D hub in Tel Aviv.
How we hire
Four steps: a short screen, an executive conversation, a paid or credited working session on a real problem from our roadmap, and a final round with the team you'd work with. We don't believe in take-homes that go nowhere — every exercise is a real conversation about real work.
