Engineering Team Lead

About HealthSigns:

At HealthSigns, we're on a mission to revolutionize healthcare through the power of Artificial Intelligence. We're building cutting-edge platforms that empower patients, providers, hospitals, clinics, and labs with proactive insights, seamless communication, and personalized care. Join our dynamic and innovative team to contribute to solutions that truly make a difference in people's lives. We foster a collaborative environment where your ideas and expertise will be valued and you'll have the opportunity to work on impactful projects.

The Role:

We're looking for an Engineering Lead with 8+ years of experience to own and scale our healthcare platform across India, the Middle East, Latin America, and the US. You'll architect scalable systems, lead a distributed engineering team, and stay hands-on with critical technical decisions and code.

This is not a framework-focused role—you must be strong in Python fundamentals, able to design APIs, build healthcare interoperability systems, architect AI pipelines, and solve complex problems beyond Django/FastAPI/Flask. You'll also need hands-on Angular expertise to guide frontend architecture and unblock your team. If you excel at leading teams while building mission-critical healthcare systems, this role offers both impact and growth.

What You'll Do

Technical Leadership

• Own end-to-end platform architecture for EMR/HMS systems serving multiple geographies with 99.9%+ uptime requirements
• Design and code Python-based APIs, data processing pipelines, healthcare integrations (HL7/FHIR), and AI model inference systems
• Review and guide Angular frontend architecture, component design, API integration patterns, and performance optimization
• Architect clinical data models, longitudinal patient records, and migration strategies for legacy EMR systems
• Lead productionization of clinical intelligence and AI models, managing inference pipelines and governance frameworks
• Oversee multi-region infrastructure, DevOps pipelines, and compliance across HIPAA, GDPR, and ABDM regulations.

Team & Delivery

• Manage and mentor backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps engineers across distributed teams
• Translate product requirements into scalable, compliant technical solutions
• Establish engineering culture focused on ownership, quality, reliability, and clinical safety
• Lead technical due diligence and architecture planning for new market entries
• Manage timezone coordination and deployment strategies across 4+ regulatory environments.

Hands-On Contribution

• Write and review production code for critical backend and frontend systems
• Debug complex production issues in healthcare environments
• Make architectural decisions across the full stack and unblock teams when needed

What We're Looking For

Required Experience

• 8+ years of software development with deep Python expertise (API design, system architecture from scratch, not just framework usage)
• Hands-on Angular and TypeScript experience for frontend architecture, code review, and team guidance (you won't write Angular daily, but must be able to make technical decisions and unblock the frontend team)
• 3+ years building healthcare IT systems with production experience in HL7/FHIR, EMR/HMS platforms, or clinical data systems
• 3+ years in technical leadership managing distributed engineering teams
• Production experience deploying AI/ML systems in regulated environments
• Strong background in cloud-native architecture (AWS/GCP/Azure), microservices, and databases (Postgres, MongoDB, Redis)
• Proven experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD for multi-environment deployments
• Track record managing system uptime >99.9% for business-critical applications

Technical Skills

• Expert-level Python for healthcare integrations, data processing, and automation
• Production Angular experience with enterprise applications (state management, component architecture, performance optimization)
• Deep understanding of healthcare interoperability standards and compliance frameworks
• Experience architecting for LATAM, Middle East, or emerging market infrastructure constraints

Leadership Qualities

• Strong communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience managing teams across multiple time zones
• Problem-solving mindset with clinical safety awareness
• Ability to balance technical debt, feature delivery, and platform reliability
